Training over summer.

SOme similarities with this and my previous post. I've devised a plan which I'll be trying over summer. It's general and vague in implementation, but I hope to achieve a little muscle and a lot of power and stamina. This way of training will also keep me really mobile.. which I think is one of the big downsides of focusing on pure weight training. Yes I stole the first couple of points from Dan John!

1. Pick stuff off the ground.
2. Put stuff overhead.
3. Push things for time or distance.
4. Run hills.
5. Practice basic movements.


Breaking down these points, in my mind, with my equipment and my needs:
1. Anything which is to be put overhead must first be picked up. A bit of kettlebell work, a bit of barbell work.
Deadlifts - done heavy, to stimulate the CNS, and done with good form.
2. Kettlebells and barbells.
3. This is where a lot of work is to be put in. Pushing something really heavy, like a car, with strong form and good leg drive is an incredible exercise.
4. I love running. I love running fast, and hills are evil. Hill sprints are also mandatory. Running down the hills (FAST!) is a co-ordination and agility exercise in itself.
5. Goblet squats. Get-ups. Swings. Stretches etc. Basic things like chin ups and handstand work, tumbling etc. Mobility.

Boom.
