Any U.K trainers work out of DW? If so what are the terms like and how is the management?

Many thanks

Also look at the order of exercise selection, for the most part it is ok but it should go in this order: power, max strength, compound hypertrophy, isolation work and then core or smaller iso work.

The program looks ok with good exercise selections, just cut down on the total volume per day as you have too many similar exercises e.g. leg curls and glute ham on Monday. Pick one and run it for...

Of course you can as long as the cycling doesn't interfere with your workouts/recovery. Just make sure you are consuming extra calories to cover the expenditure used whilst cycling.

It really depends on personal preference and training goals. Many people alternate exercises e.g. chest and back because they can have shorter rest periods and increase volume in a shorter time...

Getting back to the original question, if you are new or a relative beginner to lifting I would focus on getting strong in the major compound lifts. Look for a solid beginner 5 x 5 program, training...

If you were told to avoid grip, oly lifts have to be avoided as grip is a huge factor when moving weights explosively.

As Krakkerz has said do BOTH! Since you are already including interval training after your gym sessions your baseline fitness should be pretty good. I wouldn't overly worry about the plyometrics as...

Endline Training has hit the nail on the head here. The body is really incredible and can adapt to most things you throw at it. If you want to get stronger it would make sense to do higher frequency...

You will still be able to gain muscle hypertrophy training 5 x 5 especially as you were using more hypertrophy range before. In fact it may be beneficial as you will have a better strength base for...

As many people have said, start a progressive weight training program doing full body 2-3 times a week. Focus on squats, deadlifts, rows, presses and pull/chin ups. This is really all you need for...

You need to hold the level 3 qualification that many companies offer as full-time, part-time or online courses. Once you have this you must then register with REPs (Register of Exercise...

This is an interesting argument and I dont feel that there is a one size fits all approach. I agree for the majority of people teaching full oly lifts are unnecessary and cut into useful training...

Great post!

Sounds like a bad muscle pull or could even be a tear. If you went straight back into the workout without warming up again with already fatigued muscles this may have caused this. Use ice to numb and...

You have sort of answered your own question in your original post. You say you have poor conditioning and not the best recovery post practice, these are 2 major factors as for why you have tight...

For Boxing I would recommend heavy weight training 3-6 reps in compound movements that you are lifting explosively whilst also using body-weight exercises for higher reps. In order to gain weight you...

I wouldn't worry much about the weight gain, it is probably a water fluctuation. Also the fact that you are only 16 means you are more than likely going to be gaining quite a bit of weight just...

I think the problem here is more than likely with nutrition. You say you eat regularly which is good but is dependent on what foods you are consuming? Make sure you are getting enough good quality...
