The Fightbeat Training Log...

what are you doing for cardio?

 

Shadow boxing
Heavybag
Speed bag
Jump rope
Cobra Reflex bag


I can't jog because of the snow on and off here(supposed to snow Sunday :notallthere: ), but will start when this weather gets right. Probably in a few months I will go back to the gym and start traing for amateur boxing, incorporating the above in with the addition of sparring. Depending how my money is sitting, I may just take out jogging all together and use get an eliptical :dunno:

 

I've been doing 5 sets of 10 chins, 3 days a week. The last couple of Sundays, I've done 10 sets of 10 in addition to that. I want to gradually add more chins per week now that I can crank them out pretty easily.

If I want to do 300 chins in a week (up from 250), I can either:

1. Do 5 sets of 10, 4 days a week and then 10 sets of 10 on Sunday or

2. Do 4 sets of 15, 3 days a week and then 10 sets of 10 on Sunday

Which do you think is better? I'm sure it's something I have to try out for myself but I'd like some opinions.

 

Awesome Irish:bears: :bears:

I'd say of your choices.. .if it were me I'd go with 5 of 10 4 days a week

that's awesome man.. you are a chinning machine!:bears:

 

Geez, I-98 is taking it to a new level. That's amazing! I poke along with mine, but you guys are turning on the afterburners. Now I gotta get amped up and take my game higher. This means war! ::

 

Buddy.. you may think I'm nuts.. but I think I'm gearing up for my new plan

500 pushups daily
100 chins Daily
200 hspu daily

and my run daily

what do you think?

 

When doing that many chins, make sure to warm up your rotator cuffs with some rotator cuff raises. Be REALLY warmed up, Irish. More sets with less reps will make your chins more explosive, so don't be afraid to do more sets with less reps. That's my rule of thumb anyway. I sprained my ankle a bit today so I can't get my run on, but I ran for over an hour on and off today. I can still do chins though, and I'm gonna do a bunch of lesser-rep sets because I'm starting to feel my rotator cuff get a bit dicey.

More sets, less reps, and you protect your shoulders.:clap:

 

The pushups I can see.
The HSPUs I can see.
The chins would be amazing if you can keep it up, but just be careful because that's really high-level stuff. Try to keep your chins as explosive as possible so you can develop good pulling force and acceleration. :clap:

 

yeah.. I'm thinkin the chins will be the hard part..

I have been doing 50 daily for the last few days.. 5 sets of 10 and that seems fine.. the only thing that gets sore are my forearms..

 

I also have implemented crunches.. I have been doing only about 200 daily but plan to increase them as well

 

The chinups are really filling out my forearms. I'd say they are the bodypart that has grown the fastest other than my quadriceps because I've been squatting double my bodyweight for reps. I'm gonna do some chins today and keep'em going fast. I know I can get 50 but I usually get more, at least 5 sets of 15. :clap:

So it's not that far to 100 per day for me but I'd need to add some low-rep sets for the time being.

The way I see it, if Will Smith can do 4 sets of 50 in preparation for "I AM LEGEND", I can at least do more than I'm currently doing. :dunno:

 

awesome Buddy,

I just think that if Hershel walker can do 1500 pushups and situps a day, so can I

 

Thanks for the feedback, fellas. I was leaning toward the first option, anyway. Hopefully, someday I'll get to the level you guys are at.

Buddy, thanks for the advice about warming up the rotator cuffs. I'm definitely going to do that now that I'm adding more chins to my routine.

 

Seriously, warming them is crucial. It's better to have them warmed up with a bit of exertion than be doing great and hear something pop. You're doing awesome though.

You actually motivated me, with my sprained ankle, to do a warmup set of 5, and then 5 sets of 10. I exploded over the bar because I was doing less reps, so I learned that endurance, in doing more chins, can set up really fast chins when I'm used to doing more in total.

Keep it up and sometime perhaps we'll all post vids of this stuff! :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

A new thing I added..

old school.. we'd call 'em Suicides or in school "the shuttle run"

this REALLY gets your heart going

 

I'm all ears :dunno: Sprints?

 

We did the shuttle run as part of the Canada Fitness Test. Back and forth, back and forth. I know what it's like.

 

Thanks for sharing :flip:

 

You're such a child sometimes, Ty. ::

Short sprints of 10-20 metres: back and forth about 6-10 times. Start amd stop, start and stop. It tested your ability to sprint, decelerate, and accelerate again. There you go. Now that I have spoonfed the concept to you, do you feel better? ::

 

Yeah, I asked a fucking question.....thanks for answering, FINALLY :dunno: Sorry to bother you "grown-up". I guess it's like those basketball drills.

 

yeah, Buddy pretty much summed it up

it is used a lot in Bball drills etc..

I do it in my yard with tennis balls.

put a tennis ball out at maybe 10 feet, one at 20 feet, one at 30 feet, 40 and 50 feet

you run to the first, pick it up, back to the fence, run to the second, get it and bring it back.. etc.. etc. until you get them all.

it is done as FAST as possible and really gets your heart beating

 

Thanks :bears: I might try to incorporate that to switch it up sometimes.....

 

Don't be so pouty, dude. If you had simply googled "Shuttle Run" and "exercise", then you'd probably answer your own question and not show yourself, YET AGAIN, to be such a bitch! ::

Let me show you: "Buddy, what is a 'shuttle run' ?" :dunno:

See, Ty? It's possible for you to communicate and ask questions without being an asshole!:clap: :: ::

 

I did Hobbit :dunno: Unless I'm on ignore :: Sorry I didn't say Tyler says :notallthere:

Lok helped me out, thanks for nothin'.

 

Thanks, that's much more mature. As LOK said, I pretty much spelled it out for you. ::

 

That didn't explain shit. I had to give you an emoticon to get your panties twisted to get the answer. Then you said I was a child for giving you an emoticon Cry me a river Mr. sensitivity.

Lok doesn't let his stature control his emotions, he gave me the answer without going into a tantrum.

 

Tantrum? ::

Wow, you are an angry little boy today, dude. Me getting upset, me getting my panties twisted, me crying, me not controlling my emotions, and then me having a tantrum.

Wow, all these accusations reflected nowhere in this thread. (*sniffle-sniffle*). I just don't know how I can handle all this stress and attacks on my stature. Y-y-you BRUTE! :: :: ::

 

I didn't say anything you don't already think about :dunno: Brutal as though it may seem, I have no control over what hand you were dealt. Just reminding you about your deep seeded anger towards God and why your complex makes you act the way you do.....I thought the baby would take your mind off of it, apparently nothing can if that won't.

 

Deep-seated, Ty. ::

The rest is a cast in the water with a fishing line. Either you're projecting or a horrible judge of character. The angry speech all seems to come from you, dude. :dunno:

Well, goodnight and good try with the rod and reel this evening! ::

 

It's OK, Baron is biting in smacktalk so I'm good for now :: Adios....
