Today’s workout comes courtesy of last nights Conditioning session.
Every Tuesday evening we run a conditioning class aimed at our MMA fighters, although few of them show up, instead it seems to attract GAA players, triathletes, Kickboxers and martial artists from a variety of styles. But since this type of training improves overall athleticism (sometimes refered to as GPP or general physical preperedness), they all benefit.
The class kicks off with deadlifts for sets of 3 reps or less. This goes on for approx 15 minutes. Usually there’s 3 bars on the go as the guys and girls work in with each other. The it’s circuit time, and this is today’s workout:
Pull Ups
Hindu Squats (with a jump for advanced)
Kettlebell Swings
Plyo Push Ups
Deck Squats (1 leg for advanced)
Renegade Rows
Front Squats
Push ups on Rings
Knee jump to long jump
Ab wheel
Kettlebell Jump Shrugs
Dips
The guys did the following: Round 1 – 10 stations, 20 sec work/10 sec rest Rest 1 min Rounds 2,3 & 4 – 5 stations, 30/10 30 sec breaks between rounds Round 5 – 8 stations 20/10
It was a fun session. Keep the weights relativly heavy, you want to be working hard on every station, we are looking to build work capacity here and the ability to generate power under fatigue, so no shakeweights or body pump bars.
If you don’t have kettles, use dumbells, simple swap the swings for romanian deadlifts. If you don’t have rings, do a different push up variation.
Enjoy.
