My current self made workout program; any thoughts/ advice?
Hello,
I'm currently 155 lbs, 9.5% BF and have been working out for quite some time.
I enjoy 3 types of exercise and decided I'd build a program which would help me progress in both 3 disciplines.
First one being (kick)boxing; I used to compete in Muay Thai and had to stop because of a serious shin injury; I still want to keep my skills on point.
Second one being weightlifting; I used to recreationally weightlift back in highschool and I like increasing (functional) strength; not size.
Lastly running; I enjoy long distance running but I know this drains my explosiveness & strength.
The program I've come up with is following:
__________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Monday
5x3 Power Clean
5x5 Barbell Bent Over Row
10 rounds of kickboxing (won't go into details)
Tuesday
5x3 Front Squat
5x5 Back Squat
10 rounds of kickboxing (won't go into details)
Wednesday
5x3 Push Press
5x5 Bench Press
10 rounds of kickboxing (won't go into details)
Thursday
5x3 Power Clean
5x5 Barbell Bent Over Row
10 rounds of kickboxing (won't go into details)
Friday
5x3 Front Squat
5x5 Back Squat
10 rounds of kickboxing (won't go into details)
Saturday
5x3 Push Press
5x5 Bench Press
10 rounds of kickboxing (won't go into details)
Sunday
3 hour run; 6miles per hour/ 10km per hour. This is a moderate speed for me in which my heartrate stays around 150-170
__________________________________________________ _____________________________________________
It's basically a pull-legs-push routine, twice a week, with running on the 7th day.
3 minutes per set, 3 minutes per round.
The training sessions (except the sunday run) will all be around 1 hour; a pretty short timeframe but since I have no rest days I had this feeling >1 hour would be too taxing for recovery.
The strength exercises are pretty straightforward; but I enjoy these lifts the most and I tried to focus on 6 compound lifts that would target the entire body in a (somewhat) equal amount.
I've tried this for 1 week now; I feel fine so far.
What are your thoughts on the longevity of this program; and do you believe I will reach a plateau on strength fairly quickly since 6/9 hours a week consist of (an)aerobic cardio?
