Background on me:
33 years old, 6 feet tall, 185 pounds, pretty lean/muscular (I used to lift heavy weights but have changed my program and diet and am down from 205 to 185 pounds)
Background in TKD and a little judo but haven’t actively practiced martial arts in about 18 years.
I’m starting with 3 months of kickboxing training and then adding in BJJ training in the new year. (I am recovering from a neck injury due to a car accident several months ago so I can’t grapple yet)
My general strength and conditioning workouts include:
Weight circuits:
Warmup: 20 minutes on treadmill (intervals or mountain climb)
3 x (shoulder press, hanging leg raise, bicep curl) no rest between sets
90 seconds break
3 x (pushups, overhead tricep extension, situps) no rest between sets
90 seconds break
3 x (chin ups, dips, leg raises)
Hill sprints
10 minute warmup jog, strides, stretching
2 x (5 x 80 meter hills with walkback recovery)
Cooldown
Fight specific training
Workout last night consisted of the following:
Warmup
3 five minute rounds of skipping with pushups in between rounds.
Technical work (combinations, striking the pads, technique work)
Partner assisted core work and strikes from the ground
Heavy bag work: Various combinations with partner holding the bag etc
Finished off with a brief discussion on technique, self evaluation etc.
I’ll add workouts as they happen.
Cheers,
Chris
