Weight training for TCMA

[YouKnowWho]

crossfit ...

Just try to understand the definition of "crossfit". Will you conside to throw a 120 lb dummy 300 times over your head to be "crossfit"?

Here is my question for everybody.

If you only have 2 hours training time daily, you can only have 1 of the following 2 choices (assume you can't have both choices for the sake of discussion):

1. Stay home and throw/lift/pull/push your 120 lb dummy.
2. Go to gym to work out.

Which training do you prefer and why?

I run and lift weights. Running takes priority for me.

Alternate your training days.

Gym day, cardio day, SC day, rest day, repeat.

Or some variation of that.

I love running too. IMO, no training is more important than running away from fat cop's chassing. As long I can run faster than my opponent, he can't hit me.

That's exactly what I'm doing right now. The problem is when I

- do my 4 miles running 3 times a week,
- go to gym 3 times a week,

I do feel guilty. If my teacher is still alive, he may want me to spend those time in SC instead.

If I can train my shadow boxing during my running, work on my weight pulley in the gym, I will feel less guilty about myself.

3) Integrate your strength training into your cardio. Unless you're like Frost and WenShu who have the time to devote an entire day to training their gluteus minimus.

see this is what happens when people with no grasp of the subject get punked, they start making silly insulting comments which only go to show how insecure they are

This just remind me oneday after my 340 reps 60 lb weight pulley gym work out, I was sweating and breathing fast. One guy said, "You seem to have a good work out". I couldn't understand his comment at that moment. In my mind, "Of course I have a good work out. This is why I come to gym for." I then looked around and found out that nobody was sweating and breath fast as I did in that gym.

Gym more ways to change up your work out.

This kind of training does have "combat" in mind. I'll expect this kind of training will be more popular in the future generation.

First off, stop making assumptions, especially about me, to suit your argument. It's obnoxious. Second, steroids are illegal and tested. Even ephedrine is banned. Thanks for the advice about staying alert, because I certainly needed military hints and tips *sarcasm*.

I know a lot of people, including senior officers, who conduct crossfit daily, and swear by it. These guys are in amazing shape, something I CAN'T say about the TCMA community, and always score ridiculously high on the APFT. End of story.

Knock off the ad hominem attacks. It's childish.

Steroids are not tested for in the Military upon a commander's request NOT as a matter of course. They can be tested for, but usually aren't. I live two blocks from a military base. They aren't testing anybody who keeps their head down and does their job.

ad hominem attacks?? LOL I paraphrase, but didn't you just call us a bunch of beer belly kung fu instructors?

Don't get mad at me. I am just repeating back what you say in a succinct way to show you that it makes no sense.

Oh, you want to take the high road now? Too late, I think.

You can cut out 1 running day and 1 gym day.

That gives you 3 SC days, or 2 SC days and 1 rest day.

The routine that worked well for me was:

mon - long run
tues - gym
wed - medium run
thu - gym
fri - medium run
sat - mantis
sun - mantis

I did sprint intervals for the last 2 miles of each run.

Currently doing:

mon - off
tues - off
wed - run/bike
thu - gym
fri - run
sat - mantis
sun - mantis

Working on recovering running conditionng after a knee injury.

I just reread your running info. You don't need 2 hours to do 4 miles.

Also, you can vary your running days. Something like 6, 4, 2. Slower pace for the longer run, and work in intervals if you haven't already. 2 mile day can be 1/2 mile worm up, 1/8 mile all out sprint intervals.

For several years I was doing 10, 6, 6. And also did weights on my running days, but later just did 2 days of weights on non-running days. I felt lazy doing that, but there was a cute girl at the gym that wanted to be my gym buddy and I was like, "yeah, sure".

[bawang]

why so much running? you practice running away?

[-N-]

why so much running? you practice running away?

Actually, got started running due to work stress, and got carried away.

Sprints and short/medium runs are all you really need for fight conditioning cardio.

And there were some runner chicks that that kinda made the running fun, so that was ok too.

That's why for YKW, I was saying to cut down to 2 run days. Priorities, you know.
