I want to do both conditioning (calisthenics) and also weight training during the week. Here is what I am planning to do (2 day weight training and 4 day calisthenics).


Monday: Intense...

Thanks for the advice! Will change some exercises every week.


Other comments welcome!

Hi,

Since I started weight training (close to a year), I've always trained each muscle only once a week. I think it is time for a change to 2 times a week per muscle training. I was wondering if...

Thanks for replying.

So you think the concept is worth a go? And since I will be increasing the number of reps I will be doing, that should also bring in the size gains, right?

Hi,

I have created a workout that is very similar to the one in this article: (The last routine I did was Max-OT and that was right before swimming began. Now that swimming season is over, I want...

This program looks really interesting.

I was wondering how would one warm up for this type of program? And what kind of ab work would you do with this program?


Thank you

The season started in the beginning of November. I believe that I need to work more on endurance than anything else because when I swim say a 100 free, my 1st 50 split is 26 sec while my second one...

So just stick to weightlifting and swimming? I don't need to run since I swim, right?

OK, to lay out the Monday-Firday routine:


"5 minutes of meditation and relaxation. 5 minutes of visualization. 5 minutes of stretching.

200 sit-ups
100 push-ups
20 fingertip push-ups
65...
