Then your Maximum heart rate is higher. My maximum heart rate is approx 200 and for me 180 is anything but comfortable. I weigh about 155 lbs and I run 21 km at 1:35, 10 km at 37-38 min and 3000...
What about this:
Push-ups: 20-30*4-5 (30-90sec rest between sets)
Pull-ups: 3-4*max
Dips: 3-4*max
Incline sit-ups: 4 sets
Hanging leg raises: 4 sets
Single leg squats: 4*5 each leg
Jumps: 3*10...
If you want to be good at running 2,5 miles, 20 sec sprints are not the way to go. You need to train specifically for long distance running. Do some long easy jogs at a moderate pace, some 500-800...
I agree on that you need to be in decent cardiovascular shape, but focus more on speed, agility and anaerobic endurance than aerobic endurance and bulking.
Since you're only in the rink for 45-90...
The more muscle you have, the easier it is to get a lower body fat percentage. It's simple math. Someone with a lot of lean mass, could have a body fat% of 3 and still have the essential fat to live,...
You have at least added muscle and lost fat on the progress pic in your profile. I would say that you should go for clean eating: less carbs, more proteins and fat, consume a big majority of your...
I agree on that triathlon are very hard, but still decathlon are worse, because thriathlons are only endurance. You need of course to mentally strong, but if you are a genetic endurance freak and...
I think they forgot one sport on that list: decathlon! You need topp skill in all of the mentioned qualities and competitions last for days. Just look at Roman Sebrle and his performance in 2006:...
An unbelievable fact:
The norwegian cross country skiier Bj?rn D?hlie ran the beep test and completed all 21 (or 23?) levels. And when he had completed the last level, he did them all down again! He...
The hardest sport to succeed in is probably soccer because it's the most popular one. Kids all over the world train every day to get as good as the professional players, and only a few of them even...
Cross country? Like long distance running? That will eat up your muscles, dude. Look at all the pro marathon runners and 10k runners. They have no definition at all. Probably no good "6-pack" either....
What are your goals? If it is endurance, some kind of cardio would be close to essential, but if it's fat loss, cardio is unnecessary. A good diet with heavy resistance training and/or...
The best cardio to lose fat is anaerobic interval training on high intensity, like sprinting. The reason why people get ripped even when doing walking is because of their diet and their...
**** that. Do high intensity weightlifting (squats, lunges, rows, snatch, cleans, bench) with supersets and trisets, and HIIT, short interval training, sprinting etc . And eat a lot of protein,...
Why? I think alot of ectomorphs think mesomorphs are the luckiest people in the world... Isnt it better to be relatively lean, muscular and strong instead of being skinny, hardgainer and weak?
I...
I think it looks good. But I think you should add deadlift to your programme. And maybe cleans or snatches or something. And remember to do some work that includes calves and hamstrings too. I dont...
Pull-ups is really fun. Good job man. Although it looks like your grip isn't completely wide enough. I'm working on my pull-ups now. My best is 12 or 13, but I want to reach 20. Right now Im trying...
