and 3rd day something else which has impact on your shoulders
I do PPL format, so I do not
tops, they get hit 2x/week
instead do bench press one day
deadlift other day
then 1 day rest
then again
overhead
then squat
and rest
etc
I am not lifting weights much at all right now
career too intense
instead I am just doing calisthenics but being really hardass about it
military mindset
in the rest day you can introduce exercises withouth much weight, such as dumbells, boxing, pull ups
I go in phases of lifting vs nonlifting
but I am always working out hard
whenever i got injured in gym it was always due to lack of focus
which is as a rule due to bad sleep or having drinked previous nights
overstreched muscle, fixed with massage
basically, i drift away with my thoughts while working out, then i start doing pull ups and "pumping" my way through repetitions withouth taking care to descend and pull myself up without excessive, erratic motions
when my joints are most worn, I do isometric calisthenics
they are brutal but very easy on joints
if I had to boil it down to one sentence, the key to making calisthenics not gay is to do isometrics
holding half a push up for 5 minutes is infinity times harder than just doing 200 of them
and less taxing on joints
before retiring
my secret to developing self-confidence in combat
it really does approach weight lifting levels of hardassness if done right
strenghten your forearm !
yeah
I do grip exercises every pull day
what are you, military? MMA? boxing?
I'm sort of self-taught in boxing for years
boxing
Though I'm looking towards possibility of learning a proper martial technique
what does that mean
"proper martial technique"
Boxing is done within confined set of rules which are excellent to learn striking properly
