X-mass did very little for me to boost strength as a standalone
Are you on a training regime built around maximising strength, with appropriate nutrition, especially optimising fuelling pre and post workout?
Hi Celt, this is my training regime and diet:
My training is based around MMA style training with plenty of circuits, pad work, and intervals.
Mon am - squats, bench, pullups
Mon pm - Intervals (4-6 x 6 min rounds x-trainer and treadmill and rower, 30 secs slow,30 secs flat out)
Tues am- Burpee Interval = (30 secs Burpee + 30 sec heavy bag) x 3 total 3mins, 6 x 3-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest between rounds
Rowing Interval = (row 1 min + 30 secs pushups) x 8 rounds
Wed - sparing and technique
Thurs am - deadlift, seated row, shoulder press
Thurs pm - SSCV or HIIT
Fri am - No Excuses Workout (4 rounds, each round consists of burpees pullups squats pushups, round 1-60 secs per station, round 2 - 45 secs per station, round 3- 30 secs per station, round 4 - 15 secs per station, no rest between each round.
