awesome guide man, i play AFL (Australian football)

im just curious does jogging for miles help build stamina or will short sprints still build good stamina

HIgh intensity interval training (HIIT) I feel work best for endurance a longer period of high intensity work and a short period of rest e.g 1min sprint with 15-30 second rest and repeat.

20min if this type of exercise will will you cardiovascular system to a high level

[predateur1]

[predateur1]

[Thansen2013]

This is a pretty good thread and good discussion. Athleticism and speed kills!

[AClarke78]

Guys sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm pretty quick in terms of sprinting but my calves are very skinny, I was wondering if bulking up my calves would lead to me running slower or faster? Would squats be the best option?

Thanks for your information .

Man I have played sports up till I was 18 I have never had to deal with the terminology you are talking about because I never worked out. Just pure playing and my game improved from playing every day and I was in shape. Where would I start to learn the terms you are talking about? " Resisted sprints such as hills, prowlers, and sleds" / "1.Box squat 3x3 2.Bench press 3x5 3.DB shoulder press 3x8 4.Row 5x6-12 5.Shrugs 3x8 6.Posterior chain exercise 3x5-10 7.Core work 3 sets"

I have an idea what those are because I have been to the gym but I wouldn't be able to apply. So Q where would I start to learn this exercise language and do you play in a league by any chance?

[SmithP06]

Nice, Thanks for sharing it.

Is the routine OP designed good to use? I've been doing SS but I want to try something different and more geared to worked athletic training, and westside confuses me

Footy is a tough sport to train for, its hard to be long distance cardio fit and be strong and powerful at the same time

At the end of either day! power forearms baby!

[sphexius]

Awesome!

[krakkerz]

I found this a great workout but replace the box squat with calf raises

What?

[Nat7cryingsoul]

Hopefully I will fulfil my dreams.

[Nat7cryingsoul]

Calf raises! but why ?

[Nat7cryingsoul]

I don't know the existence of this website since 5 years as I have access to internet but not to this site. Shame on me.

Same here. I just did what my coach told me to--never learned the technical terms haha.

Now to the point, I haven't had time to workout lately (studying...). I would say about 2 months. Getting back into jogging (we have really nice bike paths/hiking roads here) because my endurance is...non-existent. I've been using ankle weights (2.5 lbs per leg) to speed-walk at most, 6.8 miles. BUT, I just read that their terrible for your knees which is ironic since I was [trying] to use them to strength my lower body because of my weak knees--I was somewhat reckless as a child. I've never used them to sprint but I REALLY like the resistance they provide and the weightlessness I felt after I take them off and go for a run. I tried the vest as well but it doesn't have the same effect on my legs and creates a lot of friction on my shoulders.

Should I really stop using them???

[BlueJays16]

I will use this!

[ready777]

Nice guide brother, I like it.



I would add that carbohydrates should also be a big part of the body building diet. Carbs are a major source of the fuel our body uses for activity. You should include complex carbohydrates in your diet through starches and fiber. That means eating pasta, whole grain rice, and whole grain breads as well as potatoes.

Believe it or not, fats are also an important part of a body building diet. Our bodies need fats to function correctly and efficiently. They are an energy source for the body and regulate most of our bodily processes.

Very useful,Thanks !

[MrIncrediblely]

I've found block periodization to be more effective for intermediate and higher athletes (studies show this too). So have short 4 week phases like hypertrophy-->strength-->power (Oly lifts + sprints/plyos)-->sports specific + power

[allesgutes]

Useful advice I'll try it

[allesgutes]

I just need the will
