Building an Athlete/Machine

[Lord_Suston]

I find the top athletes have, Strength, agility, speed, endurance, technique and constituition. Granted the amounts vary for each sport.

I can't tell how I am training right now or even what I am doing, but I can tell you why. When I played organized athletics I was really one-dimensional, and I got beat a lot cause my toher attributes were neglected, when I started to work on other areas I became much better and didn't need to rely so much on some skills versus others.

Recently ( after last comp)I have noticed my progress has halted due to my one dimensional approach of just focusing on strength and a little technique. So my approach now is very simple yet hard at the same time cause it will take a lot dedication, in order:

A)Speed-explosive power
B)Endurance-anaerobic conditioning
C)Agility-lateral movement+flexibilty
D)Constitution-raw toughness
E)Technique- Form practice
F)Strength- Absolute strength
G)Body weight- pounds per pound force generation

I will be using different strategies; many I have learn here and a few I have worked out with some pro-athletes. To measure my training I will gauge my Events on Sunday eventhough I am four weeks into my training phase

Can you give us the lowdown for the above!!! Thanx bro!!

interesting...what kinds of things do you do for the approach and what kind of events do you gauge yourself by.

Sounds familiar.

Damn it Nick I said I couldn't tell you how or what

Athlete-
)Speed-explosive power-Tire flip and sled for time

B)Endurance-anaerobic conditioning-Tire for distance

C)Agility-lateral movement+flexibilty-moving around cones with farmers

D)Constitution-raw toughness- Zerchers+Farmers

E)Technique- Form practice- all events

F)Strength- Absolute strength- MAx attempt and holds

G)Body weight- pounds per pound force generation-my weight versus what I lift

Spatts-true but I want more than just raw ability, I want refined talent, I want truly top athletic ability again

Intrigued to see your progress in a couple months

 

[Lord_Suston]

I will post at the end of 12 weeks or 16 weeks Thaibox
