Jack Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 Hey guys. I just spent the last 15 minutes drawing up this new routine for myself and I'd like all of yours opinions. Well, I need anyone to spot out any parts of training at all that I have missed out since I want to include everything possible. I've decided to reach a new level of diligent practice, and my current routine doesn't really hold to that. So, comments, feedback, anything to help me improve this more Monday: Endurance, Skill, Flexibility - 100 minutes Tuesday: Strength, Endurance, Speed - 100 minutes Wednesday: Endurance, Skill, Flexibility - 100 minutes Thursday: Strength, Endurance, Speed - 100 minutes Friday: Skill, Flexibility - 100 minutes Saturday: Strength, Endurance, Speed - 100 minutes Sunday: Endurance, Skill - Varies (40 to 120 minutes) Endurance: Shadow Boxing - 3 minutes rounds Bagwork - 3 minute rounds Advanced Kicking Exercise Bike - 20 minutes - 1/1/0.5 (slow/fast/v.fast) or steady pace, or 3/2 Strength: Weights... Bicep Curl Tricep Extension Military Press Behind Neck Bench Press Barbell Pulldown Dumbell Pulldown Shrugs Deadlift Abdominals... Weighted Situps - 10 Minutes solid Crunches - 5 minutes solid Leg lifts - 4 sets of 100 Speed: Explosive pushups (Down slowly, Up as quickly as possible) Jumps with knees to Chest quickly Jumps with knees to butt quickly Hops on/off Obstacle Skill: Forms - twice each. Once slowly for precision, once quicker for power Drills - Single moves or combinations down the hall Stationary move practice - practice a move repeatedly in stationary position Balance - Standing on balls of feet, standing on one leg, etc. Shadow Boxing - 3 minute rounds Bag work - 3 minute rounds Flexibility: Dynamic Stretches: Front, side, back every morning and every warmup Static Stretches: Leg out infront, lean forward try to bring head to knee From standing, drop slowly close to splits Sitting down Splits I am aware there are no lower body weight exercises, its because my knees and ankles hurt quite a lot sometimes due to growing pains so I dont want to cause unnecessary stress with squats and lunges So, anything at all I am missing out on? Don't be afraid now I want to try and include as much as possible. Yes I'm aware of meditation, but, I dont know if I'll be able to fit that in at the moment. Thanks in advance JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
SaiFightsMS Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 This may sound a bit odd but, are you maybe setting yourself up to overtrain? Maybe include a bit of recovery time? Especially after the plyometric work you are doing.
Jack Posted December 28, 2001 Author Posted December 28, 2001 I don't have any experience with Pylometrics yet, so I don't know on the recovery times for them. Also, maybe I should just do nothing on Sunday and use that time to relax and recouperate? JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
dreamer38f Posted December 29, 2001 Posted December 29, 2001 My humble opinion... I agree with Sai. You did well on the strength..muscles need 24 - 48 hours to repair themselves. What if you only concentrated on 2 things a day and took sunday off totally? Please be assured tho that I am in no way an expert in this area, just a fellow( If you think you can't, then you must. If you must, you will.
kicker Posted December 29, 2001 Posted December 29, 2001 well you could have some rests in there I guess well it sounds good when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
Jack Posted December 29, 2001 Author Posted December 29, 2001 Hmm also, would you recommend because of my age (15) that I should stick with assortments of pushups and pullups instead of weights? JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
kicker Posted December 29, 2001 Posted December 29, 2001 well Jack I wouldn't know cause I am a bit younger and also well If your comfortable with doing weights well I would say go for it and stay. But if your not well maybe don't do weights and up pushups and pullups into that or even every other day do that exercies pushups and pullups and then next day weights or something. when you do your best it`s going to show.

SaiFightsMS Posted December 30, 2001 Posted December 30, 2001 I am kind of wandering too Jack if maybe some of the knee and ankle pain you are experinceing might be the result of over training. Our muscles and connective tissues need time to recover after hard workouts and I think pretty much all of your work outs are hard ones.
Jack Posted December 30, 2001 Author Posted December 30, 2001 I wish that was the case Sai, but I have had these knee and ankle pains since before I even started Weight training. However I am going to change my strength training quite dramatically. I am going to keep doing bicep curls and military presses, but at a much lighter weight/higher rep system. I am also going to do lots more pushups and varieties of pushups, and pullups too. My dad has recomended physiotherapy for my knees and I might take him up on that, I mean I have had these pains for a good 8 months now, it might be something more than just growing pains. I think I am going to alter my weights definitely, and take Sunday off except for 5 minutes on the exercise bike before breakfast, and keeping the skill training to slow, precise patterns and drills (More relaxing than otherwise) Thanks for the input guys, I'll do some research into recovery time for Pylometric/speed training and then alter it some more. Any more suggestions, please bring them up. I want this to be a routine for the next year so I'd like to invest a good amount of time making it as good as possible JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
