Colstreamer's journey to be The Best of The Best

[Colstreamer]

Well what I meant about long was, I won't have to rush through my workouts and miss stuff, recently I've had 45 mins on average to train which just isn't enough for me I need at least 1.5 hours and I usually like to stretch and warm down after a workout, I find stopping dead leads to stiffness. A typical workout would look like this.

Warm up:
Light bag work OR skipping (jumping rope I believe you call it) 3x3 minute rounds.

Weights including warm up sets but I've got blood pumping through my muscles ready.

Abs especially if I've been doing anything but chest!! Lol it all gets my lower back to an extent.

Stretching, the muscles I've just trained but also developmental stretching for my legs, I've been more flexible in the past and it really is just time that stands in my way.

Mondays and Thursdays I'd be kickboxing for 90 minutes a go and my brother is coming up for some sparring next week so I'll end up doing 3 days in a row sparring for 1.5-3 hours 1-2 times a day

Tuesday Wednesday and Friday I'll be doing boring ass long slow shit on a bike!
Yeah I know, it's gotta be done but I don't have to like it!

jumping rope this morning - 3 minutes into it and the dang thing broke right in the middle - it was a rubberized speed rope
bummer
jumping rope is a good kick in the nads like 20 rep squats LOL

 

[Colstreamer]

Jumping rope, or skipping as we call it, is great cardio and keeps you light on your feet, just the thing for hitting without being hit
I love speed ropes but they don't last as long as a big thick leather rope

Any thoughts on 2 workouts per day bro?

 

[Colstreamer]

Do you mean 2 lifting workouts per day or 1 lifting 1 cardio? I'll have the time to train twice a day certainly. I could lift am & pm with cardio chucked in.

This bro.
"I could lift am & pm with cardio chucked in."
I think you have all the strength that you will ever need for MA.
But you can never do too much technique and endurance. Whatcha think?

 

[Colstreamer]

Sounds more like it bro.

Lift am 4-5x per week
Endurance cardio pm 3x per week
Technique training 3x per week

How's that sound?
