My workouts.......show-off......
Finally, some skin on this blog he he. Now that the season is about to start, I have no problem showing people what I have been doing for power training. The only real problem I have is when I had to ask one of my colleagues to take pictures of me while working out....it was like a Seinfeld episode when Kramer kisses Jerry (talking about not being afraid to show emotions) and George walks in on them.....well that happened and now my photographer doesn't want to be named nor does the guy who walked in the gym want to know what the heck was happening.....I'll never hear the end of this one........but thanks Louis, and sorry that you had to see that Luc he he......do you really think I am gonna show mercy when I know what to expect tomorrow.....never!!
Anyways, exercises on hand are the basic ones I have been doing, although now at easier levels due to the season starting soon, are bench press, single leg extensions, hamstrings, single leg press, single leg squats (this ones for you Dave), core exercises, and of course, the famous neck lifts.
- Bench press, done with 205lbs, slowly down with explosive thrust up.
- Single leg press, done with 450lbs, as close to 90 degree angle as possible with quick thrust up, this is for the take-off on the starting block.
- Single leg extensions, done with 120lbs, hard kick-outs with opposite shoulder thrust forward simulating sled driving.
- Hamstrings, done with 75lbs, to complete overall leg workout but being a 'fragile' muscle, never too heavy here.
- Single leg squats, now done with body weight of 180lbs, down with explosive thrust upwards simulating blast-off the block.
- Neck lifts, with 20 lbs, I simulate every course I am going to race on which all last about a minute, up, down, left, right.....hannibal the cannibal!!
- Core exercises with medicine ball (or weights), this gives me the power to bend the sled to drive....left knee-right shoulder, right knee-left shoulder...power coming from the core of the body.....including the upside down ABS.
There you have it.....7 solid months of this, not to mention ice time, hill running, sprint running, and some plyos. I think I'm ready........
