More Training Strategies/Ideas:
This strategy I employ when I feel I'm not hitting things hard enough or my body is beginning to plateau. I'll
work these in 2-3 times/week for about 4-5 weeks, then resume my typical cycle.
I call this workout "The 100 Anyhow".....no, I didn't steal the 300 idea! I've been doing them longer than
when the movie came out.
As it implies, it's very basic and very simple, conceptually.
The goal is to take a challenging exercise and perform 100 reps total in a reasonable time frame. Pick a
weight that you have a difficult time performing 5reps. If you bust a sweat doing 4-5 reps with the 24 KG
Kettlebell in the long cycle clean and jerk, perfect.
Shoot for a total of 100 reps any combination of sets/reps. Good, Safe form. No sloppy cheating. Rest as
needed, but push it. If you're smoked and can only do 1 rep/set, fine, keep at it until you total 100.
Try to knock it out in less than 20 minutes. Next workout, try to beat this time. When you can bang 'em out in
less than 10 minutes, move up the weight or pick another challenging exercise or both.
Be creative, try deadlifts, Kettlebell snatches, Chin ups, dips, pistols, front squats, etc. anything which forces
you to use your whole body.
This strategy is the "cure" for those who feel compelled to do what they call "finishing exercises", like doing a
boat load of triceps extensions after Bench pressing.....if you have energy left to do that crap, you have
energy to do a few more sets of compound exercises....or you didn't use enough weight....
