Week 1/ Week A

Day 1

Sunday – 1/7/18

Heavy Bag: 5:00 (minutes: seconds)

Dumbbell Curls: [10s/9, 20s/7] (3 x 11-12, 9-10, 7-8) 22.5s//12, 24s/10, 25s/8

This was the first time I did Jump Squats in a couple of months, and they really tired me out. The same goes for the Bicycle Abs. But I will get used to them again. Meanwhile, the Bodyweight Calves were harder than I thought they would be. But I will get used to them also.

I was experimenting with different versions of laterals, as I might incorporate them into this workout.

Workout Time: 0:25

I can tell my cardio fitness is down with doing just speed work, so I am changing my morning workouts so as to do more cardio Off-Season. But the cardio I will be doing still has a “speed” element to them. I will then move Jump Squats and Deadlifts to my In-Season, as they seem to be more cardio-oriented than Speed Squats and Deadlifts, though I will still do the latter.
