i started this routine and am loving it.... im pretty set on it i think but am always down to hear some opinions... So to start with a little about what im going for here... I want basic functional strength with some explosiveness and endurance... I train mma on and off just for fun but like to be in shape for any action at all times.... This routine is to keep me in strong athletic shape... Its a basic push pull routine that covers all the major lifts with some core work added and sledge swings with some cardio.... I train lifting every other day or mon wed fri and hit the gym for mma on alternate days. So the lifting is split into 4 days with a day off in between. so here it is
Every day starts with stretching both static and dynamic. i wont get into that part here though. and every day ends with cardio 20 minutes pluss eather on a bike or swimming
all lifts are 3x10... if i get 3x10 i add 10 pounds next time around. I warmup with 50% my 3x10 for 10 reps and then a second set with 75% for 10 reps so its actually 5 sets per exersice.
day 1 push
bench press millitary press skull crushers
core circuit 10 reps each x 3 pushups squats cross crunches followed by 3x10 sledge swings
(i dont over due core just enough to keep core strength without getting in the way of my lifts)
day 2 pull
deadlift latt pulldown barbell curls
burpees t-ups crunches sledge swings
day 3 push
Incline bench latteral raises pushdowns
pushups squats cross crunches
day 4 pull
squat bent row dumbell curl
burpees t-ups crunches sledge swings
