Let’s Start the Insanity
We're going to explore a specific school of thought on training and getting your body in shape today. First, if you haven't played competitive basketball for a few years expect there to be a few drawbacks. Your conditioning won't be there. You can't make the same moves you once did and even though your body thinks your capable of certain things... it will fail you at times. I learned that the hard way two weeks ago as I tried to reclaim all the past basketball glory within a few hours at noon. I got a good sweat out of it. I also got a gash on my arm, a lot of bruises and a severely twisted knee. This brings me to the second school of thought. If you haven't been in the studio for two weeks DO NOT by any means start back up at six in the morning with the Pacific Golf team. The Tigers, reaping the benefits of Ben Mackie, pun intended, get after it every morning before the sun has even thought about starting to rise. This morning Ben welcomed the team back, albeit in his own former-British-Army way....
100 reps of each
push-ups | ball sits | plank | russian twists | cross over twists | lunges | bicycles
And that's only 1/4 of the the morning as you do 100 of each of those and then come back and hit it 75 times. Then 50 times. Then 25. Welcome back!
