This program I’m trying to create for myself has been a process of research for a long time and constantly trying to find what’s best. The more and more research is done you tend to gain knowledge but it also tends to add confusion due to many options in training.
From the days I did Insanity for weight loss straight for over 2 years what did I learn? It’s a crazy type of workout .. you will lose weight and fat for sure.. it’s a lot of plyo but done in a way that doesn’t improve strength since you keep going with not rest until you burn out. Moved on but learned the burpee, which will forever be in my training even as a warm-up. There are some movements that are king compared to others.
From calisthenics training I learned the push up variations and pull up variations and squats as well. Which will always be my choice for pushes and pulls. They are athletic and build/retain muscle depending on what style you use and even power in the push-uplike QD.
After work with KBs I took away the amazing power moves of the swing and snatch variations, nothing like it and we all know how the heart rate can go up with lighter longer variations and the power producing capabilities from the heavier shorter bursts.
my goal- somewhat above average strength as opposed to the normal man. Athletic lean physique coupled with proper nutrition for life. Able to produce power, strength, flexibility and sports whenever called upon.
the program. - this is where help is needed...
warm-up- mobility and a set of 15-20 burpees
the circuit 5 full rounds
KB swings or snatches (switch diff days and weight)
Push ups
Pull-ups
Squats
about 30 mins long 3 days a week. Other 3 days would be cardio, running or jump rope.
Questions are:
What type of result would this circuit style achieve? Should the exercises be arranged differently? Should I focus on a different style of modality like power push ups instead of normal? Thanks if you read all of this.
