During the season the strength workouts (not one of my strong suits, if I even have a strong suit) are the first thing to fall off the table as I make room for pickup and tournaments and such. I manage to do a pretty good job maintaining, but I certainly don't make any gains. I'm starting to get a good picture of what my off-season is going to look like this year, which is nice. Still messing around with different things though, as I'm going away next week and don't want to try to establish a good rhythm until I get back. Had a nice strength workout tonight though, which I thought I'd share:
- One-arm DB snatch, 4 sets of 5 reps per arm.
- Sandbag shouldering, 4 sets of 8 (alternate shoulder with each rep).
- Grasso Lunge, 4 sets of 5 reps (new exercise, really like it). Interwove these sets with sets of...
- ... Romanian Deadlifts (scroll down until you find it, I've also seen it called a one-legged deadlift). Another favorite. 4 sets of 5 reps.
- Weighted pull-ups, 4 sets of 4 reps, Interwove these sets with sets of...
- ... Weighted ring dips, 4 sets of 4 reps.
Felt good. I'm thinking I'll be just the right amount of sore tomorrow.
