27 Dec

CASE STUDY:

 JIMBO IS PREPARING FOR AN AMATEUR MMA FIGHT (3 X 2 MINUTE ROUNDS @ 60 (S) REST)…. HOW CAN HE SIMULATE THE CARDIO NEEDED FOR THIS EVENT???!!!

  • CHOICE OF EXERCISES WILL NOT BE DISCUSSED BUT ARE EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT… FOLLOW WOD: MMA SERIES FOR IDEAS.
  • TO BREAK THIS FIGHT DOWN WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT EACH ROUND CONSISTS OF 120 (S)… WITH THAT IN MIND LETS CREATE A FORUMLA…
  • ASSUMING THAT JIMBO IS IN DECENT SHAPE AND CAN PERFORM 40:20 WORK/REST INVERVALS WE CAN HAVE HIM PERFORMING WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE WITHIN 9 WEEKS

HE CURRENTLY WORKS AT

(40:20 X 2 @ 60 (S) REST) X 3 ROUNDS

WE NEED HIM TO WORK AT

(60:0 X 2 @ 60 (S) REST) X 3 ROUNDS
