Berto, that looks like quite a workout!
I hope you're not doing that every day, you'd want to alternate muscle groups on alternate days.
I do circuits, non-stop, hitting different muscle groups while the others are recovering. It sucks that I have to spend time wiping down machines, that slows down my pace but is necessary in this covid period.
Brett, SAME. Same as you described and yeah, alternate muscles and even workouts week/ week. I double (triple) up legs/ and abs as those alternate each day. Legs are great to keep cardio and bonus: Test. Being a large muscle group, working the legs releases the testosterone, as you know. Mays well hit them as my go-to interval set.
This is very cool.
This is what I’m talking about! I use the steel mace (actually homemade with a steel bar and QuikCrete) to generate rotational power for hook punches.
Pretty stoked to see people developing their own exercises to fit what it is they’re trying to do.
I read do think weight/resistance training in sports has changed things up for the better. The more people caught on to this idea, the more you see the improvement of athletes. Also, I think for overall wellness and strength as one ages is probably really good for a person.
I want to see the Mace in action.
The big benefit to resistance (band) training is that you aren't shock loading your joints or muscle tissue, that is definitely beneficial.
We're fucking old...you, me, Dion, Beau, Lizard, Mike(s)...the shock stuff and heavy weights ain't gonna run time backwards. It's going to run things forward quicker and wear our bodies and joints when we don't need to do that. We're not needing our bodies in the same way as in our 30's. It's why I gravitate to interval, non-stop weight programs; I can load the target muscles and load my heart with the resistance I feel I can control. That residence allows a 4-count up/down and is easier on my frame overall. It's also repeatable and I believe gives me more control over the unloaded muscles when needed. The heart rate part in conjunction is how I use my body anyway, so makes sense.
Bands are great. Slow lifts/ declines are great (IMO). Anything fast, jerky, overly heavy (low set volume) is where I've ended up hurt. Yes, a set or two of 6 reps heavy weight every other week seems fine for me, but that's only if I'm fucking around, really. I cringe when I see people throwing weigh around (literally), knowing they're gonna regret that later In life.
Chiropractic. One of the unused tools for staving off arthritis, especially when pushing weight around or even, cardio routines. The bone/cartilage turns to bone/ bone with years of use. Add some resistance and it happens quicker.
Overdid it yesterday, taking it easy today with rowing and shoulders only. Diet will be beans, rice, whey, venison, spinach, and egg whites.
It seems the balance between over training and training is best left to having a lazy day (or two) in between a few intense ones. That and not feeling I (all of us) have to perform someone else's routine or intensity.
