what’s doms again??
And burpees are the shiz… try jogging 100 yars between sets to really get your conditioning up… I’ll be returning to that routine in a few weeks.
I plan on going back to gym when I clear the current effects of the cold I have had. I have penciled Monday the 20th of January to finally get my fitness on track. I’m supporting you, bro.

the pedantic fitness lads will tell you you can only do tabata on bike or rowing machine where you can objectively measure your effort
burpees are a killer though and doing tabata burpees must mean you came close to barfing given movement of blood to extremities and away from digestive system

You are correct sir.
I see it as good preseaon.

try this some time - good home workout
prisoner squats x 10
jumping squats x 10 (squat and then into jump)
burpees x 10
60 seconds rest and repeat 4 times

Answer my question!
[quote=“count of monte cristo, post: 884020, member: 348”]20 secs as hard as you can, 10 rest.
8 intervals = 4 mins.[/quote]
I’d usually do 12 minutes of intervals on the bike, 30 seconds hard, 15 just wheeling. Maybe I’m not going hard enough for the 30 so.
[quote=“TheUlteriorMotive, post: 884022, member: 2272”]if you have done it properly you can leave the gym having done your session
if you can do another one then you haven’t gone hard enough
good chance to go and lie down and do some mobility work to recover
resistance doesn’t matter once you are at maximum effort and wattage is a good way to measure that[/quote]
Would it be good to give this a lash after a weights session? I’d imagine lads would fuck themselves up doing this on a rowing machine in the gym, I’ve rarely seen anyone use one with proper technique in a gym, holding the handle upside down and all sorts of messing.
I’d be one of them lads-I hate those fucking machines. Rowing:rolleyes:

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
That still hurts…a lot… you bastard.
I think tabata is used by most people to mean high intensity training which is what you are doing - tabata style workouts I suppose which is what I did really and not strictly tabata
I don’t think anybody does what the tabata lad did in his tests - 170% VO2 max intensity as outside of elite athletes very few are capable of it
try it for four minutes - go as hard as you can in the first 20 seconds and note the wattage - once the wattage drops off in a subsequent work interval then stop and see what time is up - if you go as hard as you can at the start you won’t come close to 12 minutes - I found by minute 3 it was dropping off substantially

I’ll give it a go-I’ve a small dose of the sniffles at the moment so energy levels are low but I will do it by Sunday.
ideally you do it on its own so you can genuinely go as hard as you physically can
100% VO2 max is getting sick or close to it - the test was done at 170% VO2 max so you are supposed to destroy yourself doing it but most people (me included) “row” back at that level of pain and don’t want to throw up in a public gym
on a rowing machine unless you row competitively then I think all form would go out the window and you’d break machine or injure yourself
18 games into our season and i just dont feel fit
tonight im thinking of doing the mother of savage stamina sessions similar to some fucked up so called weaker county pre season training sessions that they get those eejits who are playing senior/college/club GAA to do.
Im going to do this one night a week till end of feburary as i want to be fit when the cup starts and the games pile up end of April / May.
Im thinking of the following
-
45 mins long run
-
10 x 100m sprints forwards and backwards
-
jump over a bench 100 times
-
50 kettle bell
-
50 push ups
-
5 x 25m sprints
-
2 min plank
repeat x 3
@The Puke[/USER] / @[USER=1137]chewy louie ,
you had some great circuit a few before christmas that involved 16 sets and one was swinging a hammer off a tyre to improve dynamic shoulder strength and rotation
would you reccommed i add this in at the end?

I presume with the 100m sprints you run the 100m as quickly as possible and immediately go into reverse?
yes
That was last summer @mickee321. I hadn’t done any circuits since last August due to a back injury. Started back boxing last Monday. Back was stiff come the end but no ill effects.
I would highly recommend the tyre and the persuader. A great excise
Must be a simpletons’ gym. The rowing machine is not exactly a complex piece of kit.
