Your Gym Routine

[cleanbluesky]

Impressive leg press Will. Which gym do you use and would you recommend it?

I've sprained my abdomen (or maybe obliques or something, I'm not sure) so I can do approximately nothing. I didn't want to rest but it seems I will have to. I have a Krav Maga class later in the week that I do not wish to miss, although I've passed my fitness instructor exam last week (which took a toll on my strain) so I'm looking forward to moving onto Lvl 3.

I am currently absolutely lusting over some hills and rocks at the moment, which is probably the reason I have walked several miles in this wonderful snow.

Krav Maga is supposed to be hard core you'll have to let us know how it goes once you've recovered. I've strained abdominals/pectoral muscles before and it's amazing how debilitating they can be.

It's a small private gym, nothing fancy just spit 'n' saw dust type of place, just what I like really.

Would you say that your gym is well equipped for heavy lifting? Also, where have you learned what you know about weights from?

Krav is excellent, I've trained in Karate and Wing Chun before but I feel like I learned more in a few weeks of Krav than years of the other two. One of the best aspects of it is that there are lots of types of training that you wont find anywhere else, things like having to get up from the ground whilst 4 guys beat you down with pads and uncommon gun disarms. I also love the floor grappling and the attempts to simulate pressure such as having to close your eyes until the last second before a random style of attack.

Yup it's got everything I could want. The leg press could easily go up to 500kg (well I'd run out of plates but I could just about fit 500kg on there ).

It's got racks for squats, deadlifts you don't need anything and there's easily enough bars for several people do their exercises. The cable/weights machines are all rubbish and only go up to 100kg which is a pain, but I just have to use those as a pre-exhausting or post workout burnout.

Krav does seem pretty awesome, shame it's an Israeli martial art

Street Dance - Chris Roberts again. Can't praise this man enough! Did a wicked routine which was simple but looked fab. Got loads more ideas to teach!

Sounds brilliant!
