The Martial Artists' Training Log

lol, did you sprint?

1-25-07:

Bought a 20lb weighted training vest today, very good training. I could average 20 pullups without a vest, with one barely 6.

yes, that qualifies. You got your cardio for the day and you didn't have a heart attack.

Tonight was 1,000 kick night. I think that explains itself.

We sparred as well. Two on one and I was the one I'm exhausted.

Leg day at the gym.

Power clean: 135 lbs. x 6, 155x4, 165x3

Squats: 225x10, 275x8, 295x4

Front squat: 135x10, 155x8, 175x6

My squats are more like half-squats, because it puts less pressure on my knees. They are not full squats, so I don't want to mislead anyone!

This next group of exercises I did as a circuit, moving from the first exercise listed into the next, doing 3 sets of each:

Leg extension: 100x10x3

Leg curl: 130x10x3

Hip adduction: 100x10x3

Hip abduction: 100x10x3

Decline abs: 15x3

Oblique side crunches/raises: 25 lb. dumbellx25x3 sets.

I was sweating good after the circuit, and my legs feel worn out! My legs were also sore after the day after the forms workout.

Unfortunately I woke up Friday morning with a sore neck and upper back (must've slept in a wrong position), so all I really did this weekend was jog..averaged about 3 miles.

Yesterday was my rest day so all I did was about 30 minutes of stretching.

I didn't work out this weekend due to the asthma allergy thing. I will be going to an allergist soon and hopefully they can help. I have class tonight.

I liked the idea of this thread so much I'm thinking about starting up a training blog for my own use.
