Are they a crowd of fat fucks?

S&C work won’t be worth a fuck to him if he can’t control the ball. Would cycling not help him build up stamina for soccer?
Am back running now after taking a year break because of a knee injury. On days i am not playing tennis i Am doing a 30 minute run just over 2.5 miles followed by 30 minutes of sprint footwork using the training ladder and then exercised from some of the 30 day challenges which include sit ups, squats, press ups.
[QUOTE=“count of monte cristo, post: 992536, member: 348”]Well use your brain as well, no point in busting a gut for every ball, work with you midfield partner.
@caoimhaoin what do you think of gassers for increasing fitness… 50m shuttle run, 30 sec break x 4 then 4 min break to be done at 85%. effort, they could help rents out i think[/QUOTE]
They are good for high end aerobic power, but are only part of the conundrum. Depends on how high a level it is, how far he wants to go and how much he wants to put in. Finding your 100% MAS (Maximum Aerobic Speed) would open up a pletora of drills that can cross all the energy systems. Soccer uses Aerobic (over 2 mins), Anaerobic(1-45 Secs) and lactate systems(45secs-2Mins) in unison all the time. All 3 can be broken down even further, but all need to be trained for maximum performance, especially for sports such as soccer, gaelic etc. You would then manipulate work:rest rations based on the player, position, weaknesses, upcoming opposition, tactics etc etc.
So over a forum its best to keep it simple and assume Mark is doing it for competitive recreational aims. If he is playing the game itself twice a week strength is by far the most important component, and seeing as he seems to have been someone who worked on this in the past a dynamic strength program with some High Aerobic/Anaerobic training mix seems suitable for one night a week. Ideally i wouldn’t be doing the running with the strength, but if thats the time afforded to him then thats the best way to do it…
Obviously not able to read.
I would split the two running days into specific modes. The first 30 mins you do is aerobic, the 2nd is anaerobic or speed. Best results coming from training either one separately. So go for a whole aerobic night, and a whole speed night.
Thanks for that Kev. I will give that a bash. I will be able to add in more sprint work. 
Exactly and have the added bonus of lower % chance of injury. As you are doing now, sprinting while fatigued increases injury probability. It was one of the biggest reasons for hamstring and groin injuries in GAA for years with the staple diet of laps, drill, game and a load of sprints.
Thankfully I have never had any of those injuries. The only problem I have is actually getting started because both my knees are stiff so it usually takes 5 minutes of jogging before the stiffness eases.
Done.
Salt water or lake/river?
Seawater, as above.
Second session of the day done, hit the lats, hit them hard, I’m training like a professional, its all down to the life changing effects of nutribullets
I joined in training Wednesday night, completely unfit, unstable kneecap, spent most of the time concentrating on not vomiting.
Fucking loved it.

You persistent fucker
Tried doing a human flag for the first time yesterday to give it a go. Upper hand held onto a pull up bar and lower hand planted against the wall, legs bent up underneath me, slowly raised hips up and out to the side until upper body was in the correct position then slowly tried to extend legs straight out. Probably a couple inches off having my body horizontal and maybe 6 or 8 inches from having legs fully out straight before collapsing under the pressure of it. Not far off. Gonna work in some more exercises to build up to doing this properly.
anyone have a good SAQ programme? or know good resource for finding one?
I’d also be looking at some lower body stability exercises
You gimp.
