This is a MWF routine that switches between AxBxAxx and BxAxBxx. On my rest days except sunday, i would do a off day routine like this.

 

1.Cardio- either whole body Interval training, sprint intervals, or Go for a Run

2.Skill training- Hand stands, l-sit, and grip work

3.Static training- plank, hollow, superman, reverse plank, asian squat, wall squat, and side planks.

4.Foam roll

5.Full Body Strech

 

This is what my actual Workout Routine looks like.

 

A Day

upper/lower body dynamic strech routine

 

1.Deadlift 3x8

warm-up 1x12 1x7 50% 1x5 60% 1x3 70% 1x1 80%

2.Weighted Inverted Rows 3x8

warm-up 1x8 inverted rows 1x8 tucked Front leaver pulls

3. weighted Pseudo Planche Push-ups 3x8

warm-up 1x8 Pseudo Planche Push-ups 1x8 leaning planche

4. One Legged Back Leaver static 2 sets of 6 seconds

 

B Day

upper/lower body dynamic strech routine

 

1.Pistol Squat 3x8

warm-up 1x8 bw squat  1x8 half rom pistol squat

2. One Arm Chin-up Training 3x8

warm-up 2x8 chin-ups

3. Hand Stand Push-up Training 3x8

1x8 wrist-push-ups 1x8 wall runs

4. AB wheel 3x 8-12 Max roll out against wall

 

Notes

1. I might switch up the order of the first 3 excercises on both days, prioritizeing a different excercise, but im not sure if i should.

2. I will eventually add weight to my Pistol Squat

3. On my one are Chin-up training i will do as many reps i can with 1 finger and one arm, then 2 fingers one arm, and finish the set with weight, i also do negatives on each one armed rep.

4. Im not sure weather to do wrist push-ups on my dynamic warm-up on my B day, or to use them as part of my warm-up sets for my HSPU

5. I am doing weighted Rows and Pseudo push-ups to eventually get my planche, and front leaver.

 

Tell me what you Gentelmen/women think. Thankyou In advance.

Tell me what you (...) think.

 

I think that interval training, sprints, or full body stretch do not fit with my understanding of an "off day"...

Off days, in my mind, are more like that:

- long walk

- food

- nap

- light stretching and mobility routine

- food

- nap

- a good book

- nap

- a bit of BtGB fora

- food

- take the dog out

- nap

- sleep

 

:D

I guess it is all according to one's work capacity, and ability to recover :)

The most important is not to let off days work interfere with the recovery from the main days.

There is always the temptation to do more, but sometimes it adversely affects your goals.

However, if it works for you, by all means, do it!

 

Sprinting is not my idea of rest, even if my sprints nowadays resemble more a quiet jog... ;)

For sure, real sprint training is not rest at all and is very taxing. I wouldn't say sprinting is cardio though.

alec_ar

I would :)

Well it't a Interval routine of, 1 minite sprint, 1minite jog, 1 minite walk. I don't go all out on the sprints, maybe 75%

FredInChina, i will listient to my body, but i understand what, you're saying. Less = More.

Cardio as in aerobic exercise. Sprinting is anaerobic not aerobic. Aerobic exercises are typically low intensity or endurance exercises that can be done for an extended period of time.
