newguy5000 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hey all. I've been pottering along with my gymnastic static training as time and work permit for a little while now. But i wanted to add in some conditioning work for heart and lungs and work capacity for when i play basketball and just generally for the activities of life.I started adding in some short conditioning workouts from Ross Enaimites Infinite Intensity program and my conditioning has really improved. It got me wondering what other members do for this kind of thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sapinoso Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Tabatas of all kinds: sprints, front squats, back squats, backtucks, for example. I vary the intensity but usually aim for a weight that allows for 10 reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newguy5000 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 i hate (and love) Tabatas. The other thing i have been doing lately is taking the suggested programming from BTGB of making a workout consist of a:PullPushCore LegAnd turning it into a conditioning circuit. I just started doing these and i like them a lot.For example today i did.5 tuck front Pulls on bar15 XR Push Ups30 Hollow Rocks40 Squat Jumps5 rounds. It was pretty fun so i think i might do this more often. My conditioning blows though, i almost threw up doing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miskelly Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I usually do HIIT style workouts for conditioning, some last longer than others but an example is the magic 50 or work capacity 101 from rosstraining. They are always a killer with heavy weights.I did an old Workout of the Week yesterday from Rosstraining originally posted by Shootfighter, try it out .

Blairbob Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I used to do some circuit conditioning consisting of FBE's and BW lower body movements this year besides my SSC FSP work. I also tended to be running out of time by then at the end of training time so it works fairly well but I never was pushing myself really hard, more of just something to be active and finish off with.

Michael Miskelly Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Dude that sounds crazy!Haha! I liked the look of it so thought I would give it a go. I prefer to train all around rather than being strong with no conditioning or vice-versa. I think I have built decent strength and conditioning together.
