Daily Dose
Todays exercise involves a couplet of movements. 1 gymnastics movement which requires a great amount of strength and muscle control and 1 metabolic condition task which will get the lungs pumping.
How it works
5 Rounds for time -
Each round consists of:
-15 Ring Dips with legs extended and parrallel to the ground (L Hold posture)
-5 time around cone to cone at a distance of 20m apart = Total distance will equal 200m of back and forth.
Ring Dips are programmed to develope great upper body strength as well as core strength from the Lhold. The Sprints are programmed for improved cardiovascular benefits and more efficient body function.
Together this is a mean combination. Have fun with it

Max Bench day
Incline bench press
- Work your way up to a 6RM in 3 - 4 warm up sets of incline.
- 8 sets of 3-6 reps @ 85-90% of 1RM (1 Repetition Maximum)
- Seated DB rows, Single arm row with KB, Tricep roll downs, Parallel bar dips 2x 15-20 Reps
Make sure you have a partner to spot you on max bench day.
The aim of this workout is to get MAX power output from your bench press over a number of sets so that we lift a great total amount of weight. The warm up sets are super important to get the body ready for load and conditioned in the technique. Finish off with Rowing and Tricep exercises due to the back being so important in creating a strong chest. If you have a weak back your brain has a mechanism telling your body not to get a super strong chest or BENCH. SO work your back and TRIs in large reps after any Bench day.
Good Luck

Dynamic Speed Day
Box Jumps - 16 sets of 4 jumps
4sets @ 20" box, 4 sets @ 24", 4 sets @ 30 inch, 4 sets @ max height
Lunge jumps - 2 x 10 each leg with 5kg dumbbells
Squat 40% of 1RM 3 x 15
The aim of this workout is to transfer the strength and power we have in our legs into power movements. By doing short reps with around 30 sec rest between sets and 1-2 minutes between tasks we are approaching fatigue and demanding continued power. High level professional sports require energy transfer from start to finish and in a fatigue state is usually when the contest is won or lost. Here we are developing explosive leg power which will translate into a stronger squat, higher jump and faster hip extension.

October 10th 2011 - Great stint of training
AWESOME TRAINING OVER THE LAST 5 DAYS
You have well and truly earned yourselves a rest day to relax and let the body grow stronger fitter and faster.
Rest days help to repair muscle tissue and to restore normal function of the body. Giving your body a rest from lifting weights and pounding the pavement will aid strength gains, muscle development and give rest to weary muscles, joints and nerves.
Enjoy yourself
If your like me.... you would rather be training...I get the itch to do something tough but forced rest is necessary at times.

September 9 2011 - Rest
Daily Dose
Today is a scheduled rest day
Many of you may be addicted to training every single day, day in day out and doing double workouts morning and noon. Daily Dose is scheduled for max effort workouts with appropriate rest prescription. If you do choose to skip a rest day be sure that you are aware of your health, recovery and the results you are getting. It is a sin to not get the results you deserve from the training you put out. So if you are going to train make sure you are getting the benefit from it and not just throwing in a sub par workout or feeding your addiction for training.
On the flip side of that it is quite possible that you will be feeling pretty sore in the legs and butt muscles today and even more so tomorrow. You can try recovery methods such as have hot cold showers to increase blood flow through your body, a light jog may help to flush out your system and even some specific stretching exercises can increase amounts of synovial fluid around your joints for improved ease of movement.
Enjoy your rest day.

September 8 2011 - Dead man walking
Daily Dose
Dead lift 3,3,3,3,3 Max weight
post your dead lift weight to the comments section of the site. Record for each set (3 reps completed non-stop)
2 min rest
Dead Walk 3 x 100m
Grab the two heaviest things you can hold and go walking (one in each hand) Keep your shoulders back, chest open and eyes looking ahead and walk it out.
I'm calling this exercise the dead walk because @ the end of each set your legs will feel drained of energy and in a sense dead.
At the end of today's Dose you will be like a dead man walking and your legs will feel even sorer in the days ahead. Take some time to stretch out your bodies major muscle groups and be sure to get some protein back into your system real quick for amino acids that help your body repair and grow. Tomorrow is a scheduled rest day so no excuses for pulling rank and being soft on today's Dose.

Today is a rest day
What you do with your rest days is for your own discretion ... If you feel like a beer or 10 thats up to you. Know that having them will slow your recovery, affect your health and reduce the output you can generate from your workout tomorrow. Some may say, a drink or two in good company can be very relaxing, unwinding and satisfying, and that is fine too. It is really is up to you what you choose to do. Know the effects of what you are doing so that you can make educated choices.
Looking forward to tomorrows session already

August 31 2011 Elongate muscles and tendons
Daily Dose
Your exercise prescription = REST
Today is a scheduled rest day so make the most of it.
I would suggest a flexibility component today to elongate short tight muscles and tendons. Stretching is by no means a comfortable, enjoyable or a pleasurable exercise but done properly you will feel AMAZING afterwards. Stretch your body in weird and wonderful ways, challenging your range of movement and remember your muscles wrap around your joints and are not just straight. So you may have to twist your foot in that hamstring stretch or change the angle of your triceps in a triceps stretch to release the tension in the right places for you.
Enjoy more flexibility for more power and free movement.

Daily Dose
7 sets for time
10x 50kg Deadlift
30x chin ups in L HOLD posture
Record your time to site comments
Warm up
burpees and skipping for 5 minutes and stretch full body to cool down.
Combination of generating power through hip extension on the deadlift and stability through hip flexors in flexion during the chin up with legs held parallel to the ground. The time factor, high chin up repetitions and contants weight of deadlift will be a great challenge and certainly works the aerobic and anaerobic capacity throughout.
Substitute
chin ups with pulling chest to bar on a handrail with feet on the ground.
Substitute deadlift weight with something appropriate for your level or just use bar or broomstick for beginners.
