Training Schedule

[Metsunami]

Anyone feel that they need a new training schedule i have a good one in case anyone is interested?

[RobertG]

Sure, since you created your own style at the tender age of 15. We'd love to hear your schedule.

I need a good schedule [im 15 years :P]
but how do i get to 200 knuckle pushups from one day to another?

every week starting from 50 and then every week plus 10 or something like it?

You want to do 200 pushups? They're not that useful in a self-defence situation, but if that's what you want to do, then OK...

Start at 100. Test yourself to begin with. Do as many as you can until you need a break. Keep the break as short as possible, and start up again. Repeat until you have reached 100. You might find that you do 25-25-20-15-10-5 or something like that. So now you know it takes you 6 sets to get to 100. Now begin to work on that.

Three times a week, do weights. Pushups require strong biceps, triceps, pecs, and upper and lower back. They also require a good core (abs). So to get to your goal, go to the gym (or improvise at home) 3 times a week. Do bench press, tricep bench press, latt pull-down, etc. And whatever you can find for abs - situp machine, weighted situps, pilates-style hovering, etc. Your aim should be to do about 5 sets of 15 reps, as heavy as you can handle.

While you're doing that, 3 days a week (not the days when you're at the gym), keep doing your 100 pushup test, aiming to reduce the number of sets. So when you can do a few more pushups, you might get to 35-30-25-10 - now you're down to 4 sets. Then you might get to 40-35-25.

Once you're down to 3 sets to reach 100 pushups, you need to work on your endurance. Decrease the weights at the gym, decrease the sets, but increase the reps. Do 3 or 4 sets, but from 20-30 reps. Increase the pushups at home to 150, keeping the "go till you can't do any more/rest/go again" method. Once you've reduced the sets needed to reach 150, increase to 200.

how the hell would you get a 7th dan in karate and 5th in tkd if youve been through like 10 different styles. and your only 15. i have a feeling your style would look like a monkey on cocaine.

[cakegirl]

The 'reputable' karate organisations, such as JKA, SKI, etc, have age limits for Dan grades after nidan anyway.

? what do you mean that im overtraining myself?

[eXcessiveForce]

I do not believe that any organization of TKD will issue a 5th degree to anyone under the age of 21. In Songahm TKD you must be 21 to test for 4th degree.

In WTF there are junior blackbelts and adults. at 15 you are not eligible to test for an adult rank.

Get real. You do not earn rank from watching power rangers and ninja turtles.
