Rexie317 Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 153)	posted June 13, 2000 12:21 PM If I do plyometrics on my off day instead of rest & maybe add some swimming or the bike in every once in a while will I fuck myself up? Heres my split for a clearer view... Day 1 - Front and medial delts/bi/f-arms/abs Day 2 - Quads/hams/calves Day 3 - rest (or cardio) Day 4 - Chest/traps/abs Day 5 - Back/rear delts/tri/calves Day 6 - rest (add ploymetrics here) Day 7 - rest (add plyometrics here) What do u guys thinks? ------------------ The power to endure pain outlives the power to inflict it...the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.

MaxMuscle Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 112)	posted June 13, 2000 11:37 PM I believe you should at least have one full rest day. Plyometrics are very stressful on the legs, I would decrease the volume on the legs. IP: Logged

Thanx. ------------------ The power to endure pain outlives the power to inflict it...the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. It is dearness that gives everything its value. IP: Logged

Mr America Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 10)	posted June 19, 2000 12:27 AM Rexie: Why are you doing plyometrics? What is your goal? Are you training for any specific sport? If you are what season are you in...off-season, pre-season, in-season??? ------------------ Dave Barry Mr. America IP: Logged
Rexie317 Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 153)	posted June 19, 2000 04:02 PM I'm doing plyometrics for explosive speed, explosive acceleration, and a higher verticle leap. I play ice hockey (center) and football (corner back & punt/kick return). I don't play football for my school(me and the coaches seem to have differnt views on my style...so I say fuck them. They'll be sorry) So I have no season for that. As for ice hockey, I do play for my school (but they give us jack shit). Right now I'm in my off-season, and around the start of August I'll be in pre-season. ------------------ The power to endure pain outlives the power to inflict it...the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.

mac sloan Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 78)	posted June 19, 2000 08:51 PM You could try doing exercises that are functinal to your sport,Mr A knows alot about training.Since it's off season I would suggest working on your sport specific strenght,torso power,speed,agility,quickness,dynamic balance,aerobic fitness,anaerobic sprint endurance,flexibility,sport skills and mental skills. Alot of stuff but talk to someone who will adminster you exercises that give you the most bang for your buck. Body building exercises realy won't help ya out that much if you're really serious about your sport and want to improve then focus on what I've just said. IP: Logged
Rexie317 Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 153)	posted June 19, 2000 11:45 PM Thanx mac. That makes alot of sense to me. I'm gonna base my workout around hockey. Next season I plan on being a tank. ------------------ The power to endure pain outlives the power to inflict it...the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.

Mr America Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 10)	posted June 20, 2000 01:14 AM Rexie: Here is a sample (off ice) hockey speed-strength and agility training program. All the areas Mac listed need to be addressed in your program. Pay particular attention to "core strengthening" the power hub of the body! 1. Warm-up and flexibility 2. Plyometric Training 3 x 25 sec..side hurdle hops 4 x 30 yds..skate jumps 3 x 25 yds..jump turn 2 x 20 sec..box angle jumps 4 x 30 sec..side lunges 1 x 15 reps.depth jump 360 degree turn (20" box)...you must cycle yourself into this! 3. Non-assisted agility drill carrioca and turn...4 x 40 yds. shuffle and turn....4 x 40 yds. back-pedal and turn.4 x 40 yds. 4. Assisted agility drills...none 5. Specialty drills balance board drills...4 x 30 sec(6-8 lb med ball) slide board............6 x 30 sec(rest 30 sec) 1-2-3 skying drill.....4 x 60 sec(rest 60 sec) 6. Running Example 3 x 300 yards..(rest l min 20 sec) 3 x 220 yards...33 sec(rest 90 sec) This program is something you would have to work your way into. You would do this program twice per week...Exp. Tues and Thurs. Your next problem is how to adjust your overall program. Plyometrics is an excellent mode of exercise to stimulate the nervous system. Plyometrics are the icing on the cake for athletes. Finally, don't forget to add some medicine ball training for the upper body and core. Good Luck! Your on Mac...figure out how to adjust his weight training schedule to allow for proper recouperation. ------------------ Dave Barry Mr. America [This message has been edited by Mr America (edited June 20, 2000).] IP: Logged
Rexie317 Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 153)	posted June 20, 2000 12:04 PM Thanx Mr A. I'm definatly going to incorperate that into my training. You came here from MM.com right? Good to have you and the rest of the guys from there over here. Can't wait to become a tank for next season. I'm gonna be so hard to get around that people will say "Number 37? I've gotten leveled by that kid. I hear they call him the Italian tank." Haha. Even if they don't say that they'll feel it. Thanx again. ------------------ The power to endure pain outlives the power to inflict it...the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. It is dearness that gives everything its value.
