Workout Routine

[rgnsup]

I know there have been threads before about working out and routines, but could not find them so I'm starting this one.

I started doing this type of workout called Crossfit. You can check it out at www.crossfit.com

I did yesterday's workout of the day (WOD) today:

W/U - 5 minute 100rpm+ on level 10 stationary bike

3 rounds for time of:
50 Squats
35 pull ups
35 dips
95# Hang power cleans, 10 reps

Time: 24 minutes

I did sets of 3 for the pull ups and dips. The middle towards the end of rounds 2 and 3, I started slacking with the pull ups but managed to get them.

i just got o the gym and bench some percentages of my max and do a upper body workout. i would do a lower body workout but i cant as my pt and orthopedic feel its not safe to lift in my leg since i dislocated it a few months ago and im strenghtening up the muscles that hold the knee in place.

do you knock out all those pullups in a row? or do you do them in sets to get up to 35 total (35 in a row is impressive, especially with an overhand grip)...i max out near 20-22ish but im pulling 6'4" 205 lbs upward with no weight strapped to me...


im not too into the high rep workouts. we do circuit training thorugh the months of september/october and that is god awful. i usually throw up at least once during those workouts because theyre so brutal...in season workouts for me usually consist of 3 sets of 8...as i start to rest at the end of season it becomes 3 sets of 6 with more weight to increase power....pullups are done in sets of 8 but with 45+ pounds strapped to my waist, dips with around 25 pounds around my waist...i do 4 workouts a week, 2 upper body workouts and 2 lower body workouts...example:

upper 1 (monday): 3x8 bench, 3x8 pulldown, 2x10 straight arm pulldown, 3x8 weighted pullups, scapula work, rotator cuff work with resistance bands....ab work

lower 1 (tuesday): 10 box jumps, 3x8 squat, 2x10 leg curl, 10 ham drops, 1x12 weighted lunges, 20 calf raises...ab work

upper 2 (thursday): 3x8 incline bench, 3x8 row, 2x10 upright row, 3x8 weighted dips, rotator cuff work with resistance bands....ab work

lower 2 (friday): 5 minute stationary bike ride, 3x8 dead lift, 2x10 leg extension, 1x10 leg abduction, 1x10 leg adduction...ab work

those are my in season weight workouts....accompanied by two 2 hours practices a day, and a 3 hour practice saturday, with sunday off... wednesday is just one 2 hour practice

No, I did 3 pull ups then 3 dips and continued up to 35. But I was not doing strict pull-ups aka dead hang. I was kipping.

kipping is legal in the marines. dead hang is better but dont sell yourself short for kipping. keep workin it and youll be able to do it dead hang

kipping is legal in the marines. dead hang is better but dont sell yourself short for kipping. keep workin it and youll be able to do it dead hang

I was in from '92-98 (0351) they made kipping illegal in '95 or so, I went from 20 with ease to barely 10, but I worked at it and within 8 weeks I was back up to 20 (then again I was 24)

I'll post my basic workout tomorrow if I have time

Power badminton.

i acutally quit the badminton team before joining the varsity darts team...then i quit that too....its for swimming


and dave i didnt know it was made illegal sorry for the incorrect info. i have never been in the marines and i dont plan on going. i just had a trainer one time who used to be in the marines and told me kipping was legal. he must have been in before 95. thanks for the info
