Spartan training. I am so doing this today!

Spartan WOD for Tuesday, 1.22.13

Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability. -Roy Smith Do you have the discipline to do 100 burpees in a day? 200? 300? It's one thing to think about doing it, another thing to say you're going to do it. But we can only talk about your ability after you try. Pick a lofty goal and then either go for it all at once in one session, or break it up during your day. Need more info on the burpee? Check out this blog by Spartan Coach, Jeff Godin Ph.D where he describes The Muscular Analysis of the Burpee.

Spartan run

Spartan WOD for Sunday, 1.27.13

Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. —William Faulkner How many miles did you run this week? How many miles did you run last week. Tomorrow is your chance. Don't fall behind. Don't just keep up. Go somewhere brand new. Long, aerobic run. 1-3 hours.

Spartan WOD 1.28.13

Spartan WOD for Monday, 1.28.13

The bamboo which bends in stronger than the oak which resists. —Japanese Proverb Limber up! Take 20-30 minutes today to break into a stretching routine. Stick to your tried and true routine, or try something new, just focus on relaxing into deep stretches. Try and make sure to address your whole body from ankles to neck. Even the biggest trees sway in the wind, lest they break. And give your mind a break too! Basketball, swimming, volley ball, and other team sports are great activities introduce into your fitness, particularly if you have been feeling burned out or over-trained.

Another Spartan Workout

Spartan WOD for Wednesday, 1.30.13

Remember the feeling you get from a good run is far better than the feeling you get from sitting around wishing you were running. —Sarah Condor Warm-up: 10-15 minute run, progressively increasing in intensity. Be sure to do 4-6 short accelerations. 10 burpees Main set: 10 burpees, run 400 meters recover 2 minutes (repeat 2-5 times) 4 x 100 meters sprint Cool down: Jog/Stretch The trick is to figure out how to pace yourself so the combined time for a burpees/run interval decreases each repetition.

Spartan WOD "Sign up, Show up, NEVER give up!"

Spartan WOD for Wednesday, 1.23.13

The Difficult is that which can be done immediately; The Impossible is that which takes a little longer. —George Santayana Everyday Spartan athletes are doing what they once found impossible. Just as in running where your first 5k turns into your first 10k, your first Spartan Sprint turns into your first Spartan Super, and then Beast. Whatever the distance, we'll see you at the finish line. Main Set: Run 2-4 miles. Negative split them, meaning, do each mile faster than the previous. 30 burpees Be sure to stretch before and after. Did you know that the San Francisco 49'ers stretch more than any other NFL team? Here is a new blog explaining the importance of flexibility: Flexibility: A Core Fitness Component of Obstacle Racing

Yesterdays workout

Yesterday I had a crazy hard workout...well today I did too, but yesterday's workout was crazy crazy!...like CRAZY crazy. not crazy crazy, CRAZY crazy.
I did Jump rope with a 15 lb chain for 30 seconds
Chain Pullups with leg raise (toes touched the ceiling every single time), then 90 lb barbell deadlift, curl, press, and then from there, went straight into a barbell pushup and roll out. My hands didn't leave the bar once. This sequence was performed 10 times, and then it was back to jump rope for 30 seconds with the 15 lb chain....repeat. After the 5 round, I didn't know whether I was gonna ever be able to lead another Addiction FITness Boot Camp, or if today was my day to leave earth...but none the less, I pushed on and survived. I even had enough drive to finish with a 2 mile run!

A little bit of info on some different kind of training.

 Hey guys, lately I've gotten some question on exercise program style and how the way you workout builds your body in different ways.

A Client recently asked. "Hey bro, what's your take... low weight high reps or high weight low reps for weight loss?"

My Answer:

"Both, it depends on how you wanna look. Low reps and heavy weight is called hypertrophy training. And Hypertrophy training build muscle mass and makes you really strong. It's the way bodybuilders train.

If you wanna get overall fit and have both Muscular endurance and maximum strength

you need to do what's called, Strength Endurance Training.

The goal of Strength Endurance Training is to enhance stabilization endurance while increasing prime mover strength. This means, build your muscle endurance by performing body weight exercises and build muscle mass by lifting heavy weights.

This can be done in a Superset sequence. By performing back to back exercises without rest. The exercises have to have similar joint dynamics though. The first one is a traditional strength exercise that you perform in a stable environment, such as a Barbell Squat or Bench Press. The second one is performed in a less stable yet still controllable environment, such as a Single-Leg Squat Touch Down, or Medicine Ball Chest Pass.

the goal of the first is to build the prime muscles and the goal of the second is to increase the strength of the stabilization muscles."

Hope this helps everyone while they're choosing training styles.
