Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Here’s an example of an anaerobic conditioning circuit for a wrestler or combat athlete.

1a)  Hindu-Push-ups, 30 sec

1b)  Power Rope Double Slams, 30 sec

1c)  KB swings, 30 sec

1d)  Overhead Med Ball Squats, 30 sec

1e)  Partner Zercher Good Mornings, 30 sec

1f)  DB Clean & Press, 30 sec

The athletes will do as many reps as possible in the 30 second blocks and switch on the whistle.  Each run is roughly 3:30 minutes.  3 minutes of resistance and :30 seconds of total rest which is the accumulated time to switch between exercises.  Run through this circuit 3-5 runs, dependent upon the sport.
