MY PERSONAL WORKOUT PROGRAM
I've been asked recently by several people what my personal strength and conditioning workout routine is, so that's what we're going to cover today. Although I post a lot of videos and it may seem like I workout every day, I don't. I often film several videos in one day and then post them over different days. Having recovery time is important as well as maintaining balance in your life. Working out is a part of your life, but you can't let it control your life. You are the one in charge. If you don't feel like it on a particular day, its perfectly alright to miss it. Don't listen to liars who say they've never missed a workout in five years or something like that. We're all human and our breaks are just as important as our workouts.
Now as far as structure and scheduling goes, I usually alternate weight training workouts with bodyweight training workouts. It's either done three days a week or four days a week. If its done three days per week, the schedule is as follows.
MONDAY - Weights
WEDNESDAY - Bodyweight
FRIDAY - Weights
Then I take the weekend off and on Monday, it starts with a bodyweight day
If I'm training four days a week, here's how it goes.
MONDAY - Weights
TUESDAY - Bodyweight
THURSDAY Weights
FRIDAY - Bodyweight
I then take the weekend off and then start back on Monday. I usually practice martial arts before the workout or I'll do it at a separate time. I almost always practice martial arts on the weekend as well. As many of you already know, I do Combat Saturday videos every week. However I never practice martial arts after a strength workout. Your muscles are pumped up and very tight after a workout, so punching a heavy bag at that time is not advisable.
My workouts change every month or so, but here's an example of what the workouts might look like.
