Full body Weights Workout- Thai Boxing
Hi all, have been doin weights for a couple of months however I don't think I've got it very well tailored to thai boxing (plenty of unecessary isolations).
How about:
Bench Press (Barbell)
Incline bench (Dumbell)
Pull ups (wide grip)
Shoulder Press/Military Press (DB/BB)
Lateral raises
Dips
Bentover Barbell Row
Squats
To be done 2/3 times a week + the usual workouts at training.
how much weight/ repetitions/ sets r u doin for each? Looks like a good set of compound lifts, not sure what lateral raises are. Could think about adding a rotational ab exercise like full contact twists or woodchoppers (try t-nation.com if u dont know), always good for power in kicks and strength in the clinch
i'd leave the lat raises as you're activating the side deltoids when you're doing the pull ups and shoulder press. Some of the best power exercises are simple things like jumping squats -holding a med ball or dumbells to add weight- or supersetting straight after doing heavy weight on a incline leg press or something. Also clap push ups or plyometric ones (when you come up, you try to push your whole body off the floor, feet included. You dont need to do a lot as long as you do them properly and be careful of wrist injuries.
just some idea's:
you might want to modify the barbell chest press to using dumbells and even doing each arm seperatly, think about the tempo too, go fast when you're exerting the force and slow and controlled and the way down. same tempo for the pull ups - Q.are you using an assisted chin up machine or just a free bar?
one thing to remember with weights is that your body will adjust to it and will soon plateau and it will become boring so try to update it every 8 weeks or so.
