I think I am going to try something like this POWERLIFTING. The caps lock thing was an accident but it seemed appropriate. I've done some cursory research and I am impressed by the anecdotal tales of athletic prowess among Olympic powerlifters - 42 inch vertical leaps, out-running sprinters at 25 meters, and a 6'3" 325 lbs man dunking a basketball. If I weighed 325 lbs I wouldn't be able to tie my shoes much less dunk a basketball.
From now on I think my workout routine is going to look like this:
- Barbell Bench Press 6-8 repetitions, 3 sets.
- Squats 6-8 repetitions, 3 sets. (substitute leg press or Smith Machine if knee pain increases)
- Deadlifts 6-8 repetitions, 3 sets.
- Power Cleans 3-5 repetitions, 3 sets.
- Push Press 3-5 repetitions, 3 sets.
- Dips/Pullup Supersets 10 repetitions, 3 sets.
- Squat jumps 3 repetitions, 3 sets. (never more than 50% of one rep max)
- Incline Crunch 20-30 repetitions, 5 sets. (or variations to target obliques)
It's worth a shot...
Or I could get fat and blame it on the training I am doing as a line medic with Able Company again.
I am also including a link to power lifters amazing athletic feats.
