whats crackerlacking boys and girls,
today before i start writing i would like to go through what i will be writing about becuase there is some issues that i keep getting asked about so i will answer the questions, thanks for your nice comments on my blogg, i have never blogged before so this is new to me so i am greatful for the support, you know i am OLD SCHOOL hehe so takes time to get use to this hehe.
subjects i will adress:
- everyone keeps asking me what is the best strength/endurance training system
- who do i train (what atheletes)
lets take the first point: what is the best system/form of training to use to get power and speed. Hmmmm…well the answer is simple in my opinion a mixture of everything (crossfit, powerlifting, kettlebell training, running intervals + hill work, ect………. ). a good coach uses one system and gets good results, a great coach picks apart many forms of training and makes an individual program for his athelete that makes that person get gorilla strength/endurance. a good athelete needs speed, flexibility, power, explosiveness, focus, techinique, conditioning. you cannot work all of these all the time at the same time. periodizing your training focuses on specific aspects of what you are after at that moment in your scheduled season. doing circuits all the time, ´500 rep´ on each excercize is not so optimal if you want to get strong or fast explosiveness. lactic acid training is the most brutal type of training and its good when you are under that period. as you can see from the video i have under, joe defranco is a strength coach and trains mostly NFL atheletes, but also wrestlers, boxers ect….. what he does is combine power with explosiveness. box jumps- you cannot jump on a box slow so jumping is an explosive movement-plyometrics. power -- look at the deadlifts and squats that they do. look at the tire flip that they do that fucking tire weighs 300kg at least. thats how you get power and explosiveness. doing alot of reps builds lactic acid and makes your perform slower and not so explosive. that is another type of training that is more into endurance, with endurance training can you put your circuits and 1million reps in at different stations, but continuesly doing that type of training increases the risk for injuries and wear and tear on your body, the same as doing heavy training can injure you aswell. everything i am saying now its documented and scientifically proven so i am not talking out of my ass. staying to one form of training you become a one form athelete. nowadays the people that win and get the gold are the ones that put forth a well planned structured `uppbyggnads´ period to COMPLEMENT their sport, and some might say this is crossfit what i am talking about, well actually not, i like alot of things that crossfit does and many think its something new but the same things i was doing more or less when i was in the national team 15years ago is used in crossfit more or less now, we documented times and circuits and learnt how to do functional/complex training ect…….. crossfit is fantastick for the average joe as they say becuase it takes time to teach them´frivändningar`, squats ect….. things that every elite athelete should know already and be doing, and treats the average joe like an elite athelete in a group based enviroment, great. great workouts, no critism to that at all. (understand now that this is no critism to any form!!) but i also like alot of things that other forms of conditioning training do aswell, so what i do i take the best that i think work best and use it in my fighting fitness and gorilla power workouts. i was at a crossfit seminar and i liked alot of things that they did can i add, they think about correct technique and very structured and hyper with there training it was good training, but now we are talking about elite atheletes and thats my interest nothing else and my conclusion is………… there is no one way miracle sorry boys and girls hehehe if it was that simple my jobb would be stress free. BUT ITS NOT!! i am not saying that something is bad now dont missunderstand me i am just saying what i have seen around the world and what sportscientists come up with for the other national teams for there strength training. i have an open mind about alot of things so that i can use the best from every form to my advantage.
i have alot of friends and colleages that teach and love crossfit so one love baby, at the end of the day whatever works for you and makes you money, do it!! nothing wrong with that, if it works for you in your training then fine, if it makes you money great. keep it up then. but nothing is new of all this, nothing, maybe the packaging is new but the core is all the same.
this video is what i call strength training. NFL atheletes must be powerful, explosive and mobile jut like most other sports. so its great:
who do i train/ trained:
- alexander gustavsson UFC fighter and all the stockholm shoot sasha, jonatan, nicho, pontus, netos ect…(one love my boys)
- reza mad dog, muhammed, omid, navid, musse (rallarssving) sorry bad with names hehehe ect………..
- swedish national boxing team some of those boxers are ranked in the top 20 in the world, babacar kamara, naim terbunja, bashir hassan, salomon ntuve, leon chartoi, kennedy katende ect………..
- ebba nyberg swimmer one of the best
- some tennis players one of them won silver in the junior olympics women
- and my average joe clients that give me there loyalty and support when i kick there ass in training
i am sure that i have forgotten someone…………..hmmmm well this is what i can remember now.
anyway i am tired now just coming back from training alexander gustavsson from gbg. he is in great shape, thats one bad mother fucker i can tell you, vicious and a killer striker. got pain in my hands from holding pads for him. good work alex!!
take care and NO PAIN!!
