Ok, I'll start contributing now!
I've taken up jujitsu, and have my first grading coming up fairly soon - this means that I need to be in GREAT condition, because the Sensei enjoys getting students to repeat the movement x 10, and then run around the room, and then do another move x 10 to really test the body and mind.
At the moment, my training looks as follows (I have a bad elbow stopping me from any upper body resistance work, including strikes, but all should be well soon!):
Hill sprints x 10 3-4 times a week (about 30 minutes in total, including slow jog to the hill and back)
Jujitsu training x 4 hours a week
Resistance training x 1 a week at the moment (only legs), followed by slow cardio
Now including 2 striking sessions a week (focussing on kicks and knees)

I'll make you a deal mate
I'll write the medicine ball article if you write the sandbag one, just finished making mine and I'll write up how I did which is a blatant rip off from another site with my personal touch thrown in 
You got a deal!! Just made myself a new meddy ball too actually, cost me 6 quid altogether.
That's £26 in total it's cost me to put together a new sand bag and a medicine ball, niot bad going I think you'll agree

How do you arrange your training week and schedule the different aspects of your training in Knighty?
Also what's your resistance training programme looking like?

Well Pagan just done the post-night shift workout, horrible but sort of refreshing though I'm wide awake now so will take ages to get to sleeps.
This is the main reason I wont even consider steady state cardio after nights mate. I'm not the best sleeper anyway so any cns stimulation turns me into an insomniac 
I will commence my burpee training next week , I'm also interested in trying sandbag workouts a la the Osagi routine.I just need to get to grips with my shift pattern first.

Yesterday's training (gym based)
Wide grip chins (each rep started from a dead hang, 2 secs up, 4 secs down) - 5 x 5 x bw (currently ~90kg giuve or take a tuna sandwich or two)
Shoulder press machine (not my prefered choice but all bb's and heavy db's were in use) - 5 x 5 x 25kg per side (machine had a weird leverage thing going on so not at all sure what the effective load on my delts was, pretty tough going however)
At this point the gym was jam packed (serves me right for dashing up there at lunch time) so I had to wait a good 20 minutes until I could nab a BB for my deadlifts. Wasn't very happy with my chins or shoulder press so I decided I'd have to make up for it with my deads, result being;
10 x 80kg, 10 x 120kg (warmup)
followed by 5 x 5 x 180kg
Happy with that for a mid day workout
Osagi

Last night's session built up quite a sweat with the aim to get myself into a position where I can repeat various techniques multiple times - my mock grading is on Tuesday!!

Well I train jujitsu on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday (I am missing the Tuesday session at the moment due to recovery from the sunday with my bad arm)
Hill sprints are essentially Monday, Wednesday, Friday or saturday
Resistance training is on Friday/saturday, and looks like: Leg Press, Standing BB Split squats, Pull throughs, Hamstring curls, hip stability prehab.
I will include another day of upper body training AS SOON AS MY ARM IS BETTER - but this would basically include OH Presses, med ball press ups, 1 arm cable pulls, seated cable rows, cuff work, and core work (e.g. woodchops)
I'm going to turn the hill sprint days into conditioning/GPP days as soon as my new training partner comes back off of holiday, so that will include the hill sprints, various strikes to pads, sand bag runs, etc.

Been a really busy week for me this, long hours at work with adhoc meetings cropping up all over the place and a couple of late night support calls to deal with resulting in a severly disrupted sleeping pattern.
As a result I've missed a fair few meals this week and a couple of training sessions.
Still managed to put in 2-3 sessions to keep me ticking over and rested completely yesterday so that I could get back in to training 100% today - and that's where off to right now.
Got a lovely little GPP sessions lined up which I'll be getting stuck into as soon as I finish posting this reply.
I'll post another update as soon as I regain consciousness and the ability to type lol

Thought i'd make a little contribution to this journal, hope it fits in with the sort of thing you wanted people to post!?
Odd times i've seen posts in the past from people asking for heavy bag, boxing type routines, so thought i'd stick up what i did in my last session. Might give someone a bit of an idea.
10 x 3 minute rounds with 1 minute rest inbetween.
Rounds 1-3 were on the speedball
Rounds 4-8 were on the heavy bag
Round 9 was on the speedball
Round 10 was shadow boxing

Massive apologies for lack of training etc
I haven't done anything now for what feels like too long, real world is getting in the way of everything
Things will change, probably apologising to myself more than anything!

Bad news for me today, the likelihood of me re-joining the Marines is looking very slim. The AFCO booked my medical / interview only for the DNR office to suspend my application until secondary medical opinion is sought. Canny gutted as I know I have next to no chance now but chin up and all that, I have a plan anyway just incase which involves MMA so training will still be centred around this
Update on this, been passed fit for service just got to pass a basic interview to see if I'm still the same Mook I was when I left sans gopping leg
Got rid of all lifes little distractions and it's now train, train, train! Been a real ****ty couple of weeks but finally got head screwed back in so it's all go
Will try and update daily may possibly be useful for people preparing for the forces, will be a lot of CV based work in here bodyweight circuits, sandbag work etc

Critique of this routine would be welcomed...
Monday - 4 mile interval run, main aim is reducing times so intervals will be fast pace > sprint
Tuesday - Pull - Power Cleans, Deadlift, Chins - 6x3 and 5xlots on chins
Wednesday - 3 mile run, 50% best effort timed
Thursday - Press - Bench, Dips, Push Press - 5xlots dips - 6x3 presses
Friday - Circuits - change week to week, be lots of burpees, press ups, lunges and other imaginative exercises thrown in with sprints
Saturday - Squats and swimming, squats 6x3 & 1x20

that looks good Mook, only thing I would say is that it needs rowing i think, i would choose rows over chins for shoulder health if you cant get em both in.
and i did this tonight
Wed 19/9/07
Tabata Joy!
Tabata Squats = 114 reps
Tabata Plank = Maintained Plank for required times
Tabata Ball Leg Curls = 38 + cramp. had to stop
Tabata ABC Crunch = 139
Tabata Glute Bridges = 90
Tabata Prone T's = 88
well that was fun!

Refuse to let this journal fall to its knees after a mere 3 pages...
Had a right **** time of it recently but not going to let that deter me, as of monday I'm training hard and all will be logged even if this just turns into the Mook show 
For now, enjoy this...

Will type up this mornings (just finished) routine this evening as I'm sleepy
Let me tell you though it involved ab rollouts (on knees) and my stomach currently feels like its been used as Hattons bodyshot bag (in a good way)
I was weak as piss with these, they really highlight a lack of core strength but onwards and upwards is the way to go.
