It's been a while since the last update....
Things are going well in terms of training, strength is increasing (weight lifted is going up) and condition seems to be getting better. How do I know? Training in terms of conditioning is getting easier whether it's sled dragging, Bas Rutten workouts, complexes or circuits. I've upped the work in terms of the Bas Rutten workouts doing thai boxing 3 min rounds instead of 2 mins, and doing the all round fighting 2 minute rounds. Throwing sprawls & sit-throughs in to the mix on top of the knees, kicks and punches really tests the heart and lungs.
Some notable numbers from the lifts:
Deadlift, 10 x 131kg
Bench, 11 x 77kg
Trapbar, 5 x 171kg
Nothing huge but it's all still heading in the right direction and feeling remarkably comfortable.
The next post will be about something essential to the older athlete – recovery. Also, I'm working on a compilation video.....
