Strength Training your Thoughts.
Oh,Metal, Machines, or other Forms out There of attaining Strength Mobility
I will go with the barbels. Abaut the program on my level the simplest possible! Three days a week almost one and the same. Nothing fance only basic exercises. Some explosive movements are must. If it´s going to be specific for boxing i will reduce the squats and up the deadlifts, cleans, rolls, chin ups, bench with narrower hand possition and standing sholder presses. Some work for the obliques and neck will be nice addition.
Hi Scrapper.
Right now I'm still loving the kettlebells. It's explosive/dynamic and anaerobic, depending on how you breakup your sets.
I think a couple of the guys on here use KB's in their training. Hopefully they can say how it fits in with their training.
I use them too, but i can´t incorporate them in my strenght training. My hamstrings can´t take the punishment...
Thats interesting, something Im coming on too ;D
get them swinging a KB on a wobble board;D
Nikola, do you think theres a connection between the two seperate exercise routines one static the other having mobility.
Missy done some of that ;D

It´s not the felxebility. If you start training slow and using the right loading patern your muscle will stretch to where you want them in 2 3 weeks... Under beating i mean that i overtrain them.
@Scrap
For me the most obvious connection is that both of them use the same mechanikal structures. Here i mean that the both treining programs don´t interact directly. The problem comes with the recovery. The kettlebells will increase the recovery time of the barbel training.
I can say about the neurological side of it, that they are both really demanding and this must not be over looked. One can "burn out" much quicker...
Know where youre coming from Nikola, especially the Hamstring Bit, any ideas why this happens. Its something Ive talked about recently with people in the Feild, as regards static machines and weights, Kettlebells are different, although weights. My issue is muscle and Tendon aclimatising to movement when the major Tendons on Machines are not used as they should be.
Im just guesing, but something like this looks logical for me. The main reason we are build that way is to run and the hamstrings and gluts are the most important muscles for the forward propulsion. This means they both try to pull back and up the leg. In this movement there is no prestreching involved. With the weights we try to hoist something. This means that when we erect the leg our torso will elevate. It´s like

I don´t know if it was ment for the hamstring to be used under such loads at most stretch position...
I don´t know any machine which simulates something natural...
Most of the machines ive ever seen, seen a few. dont engage the TFL as, it should be applied, everything starts in a Heel down position, which is the biomechanical brake.
Is there a way to incorporate this in barbel training?
