Fight Prep: 2012-05-07

Today's S&C session followed the same pattern as the previous one. First, a quick Iron Core Circuit (2 Sets), then my 5/3/1 lifts (Deadlift & Bench Press), followed by 8 rounds of rope skipping with pullups after every second round.

Iron Core
Today, I probably found the difference between a good and a bad leg curl with single leg balance: the leg that stays on the physioball must always push down, through the ball. In other words, it's imperative to always keep the hips extended to a maximum. This way, the body's center of gravity is positioned in such a way that a lot of weight rests on the heel of the fixed foot. Therefore, the ball can't roll to the side so easily. With that in mind, the exercise is even manageable with elevated arms. Up until now, I wasn't paying enough attention to the hip extension, which resulted in me failing all aover the place and displaying less than optimal form, to say the least. I guess that's not an issue anymore.

5/3/1

Since  I've covered the basic idea of the 5/3/1 program and my modifications to it (which are very few, anyways) in quite some detail in the past, I'm not going to bother here. Just follow this link or google it if you're unfamiliar with Wendler's system.

Here, I'll just present today's stats:
Set #DeadliftBench Press
Warmup Set #170.0kg x545.0kg x5
Warmup Set #290.0kg x555.0kg x5
Working Set #1102.5kg x365.0kg x3
Working Set #2117.5kg x375.0kg x3
Working Set #3132.5kg x485.0kg x5

Tomorrow it'll be a rather light session. Wednesday, I'll do 200m and 400m sprints. Thursday, shadow sparring and some reaction drills. Last S&C session before the fight on friday. Saturday, last sparring before the fight. Then, over the next week, mostly some light shadow sparring and padwork.

I'll post the more interresting sessions here. On days when there's not much to say, I'll put up more video footage of the WKF Austrian Open 2012 and share my thoughts on the fights.

So long,

take care

Happy new year

I wish you all a happy new year. Photo by camera slayer, found on flickr.org For me, the year won't start particularily good, I guess. On january 7th, the doc will put my foot into plaster again. This time, it's 4 weeks. After that, we shall see further. Now on the one hand, this is significantly screwed up. Gone are my plans of doing a max strength program to begin the year. Also, as a professional trainer, not being mobile at the beginning of the year means a serious handicap to my marketing actions. Novembet through February are, after all, the best months for any sports school, finance-wise. Also, I need to make up for all the losses my second studio has produced over the last year anyways. Instead of recovering financially, I'll now have to pay an instructor to teach my classes. Great. Not to mention all my plans of offering more classes at my Dojo. They're most definately put on a halt at the moment. As you can see, from a business point of view, my situation is s...

Thoughts on S&C: Assess, don't guess - Athletics @ Shinergy[base] Vienna

  Disclaimer: This one's going to be a bit lengthy, so I tried to include as many videos as possible to keep things fresh.  Since December, 2014, I'm in charge of the athletics class we run at the Shinergy[base] here in Vienna. In a nutshell, the athletics class is pretty much a functional strength class for small groups. In contrast to other systems out there (which all have their benefits in their own sense), out athletics class follows a simple periodization and is preceded by an individual assessment of each athlete. Our assessment usually doesn't take as long as, say, a full [FMS] , but then again, we screen for the selection of exercises we're actually planning on employing in the current program. This means that, although it might be beneficial for general health or long-term improvement of a functional movement base, there is no pressing need to screen for overhead competency if the plan calls for a horizontal upper body push. We can ḱeep our initial screens...

PUT Opole Open 2015, Part I

So over the next couple days I'll post the videos of our fights at the Opole Open 2015. I have to say, the [PUT] people really did a good job on organising the event, and while international participation was a bit lower than usual, the level of competition was awesome. What I like most is the non-dogmatic approach these guys take. Most schools offer both Taekwondo and Kickboxing, some also do other styles such as MMA or even Krav Maga. As long as they adhere to the rules, everyone's welcome to fight. Contrast this with the rivalry and bad blood that dominates the martial arts world here in Austria. For example, I've once witnessed all participants of the [WKF] being barred from entrance to the [OEBFK] national championships due to inter-federation rivalry. Needless to say, the level of competition suffers from stuff like that. Now you could argue that the situation in Poland is different in that there's no competing federations from the same style involved. ...
