Displaying items by tag: rope sprints

When you look at the picture of Mike Tyson with that jump rope in hand, or indeed ANY of his pictures, THREE things stand out.

The chiseled CORE.

The MEATY, SOLID forearms that could likely knock a damned gorilla out!

And that solid, muscular CHEST OF HIS. Slabs of muscle as it were, like no other!

And while I’ve covered pushups before, the one thing I haven’t is rope sprints. Done right.

At least, I don’t think I have.

I’ve covered hill sprints before.

Bourne sprints.

Regular sprints (and pulling my Achilles while I was at it!)

And BIPEDEAL and other sprints (that’s the next email, by the way!)

But not rope sprints.

And as I get done with a super, super workout, let me tell you something.

If there is one thing that burns and shakes when you’re doing jump rope sprints right, it’s your FOREARMS MORE THAN NAYTHING else!!

OH BOY!

Quite literally.

And . . . gasp, your TRICEPS.

Try doing a set of pull-ups or pushups right after these rope sprints, and youll see what I mean.

If you’re doing ‘em right, you’re not going to be able to do more than 15-20 seconds of this REGARDLESS of the shape you’re in – if you do ‘em right!

The very same thing I talk about in Advanced Hill Training and the very same thing that causes fat to FLY OFF YOUR BODY like nothing else!

And the breaks, you ask?

Well, you REDUCE them.

And while that may sound hard to do while you’re breathing and panting up a veritable storm, it’s easy if you know how.

One way is to do what I said the other day, do an easier exercise.

Maybe a few reps of it.

Or, BREATHE Deeply like I’ve taught you . . . that by itself is an exercise unto itself.

Or, do another exercise (a complementary one).

The key is this – don’t stop to smell the roses (or sweat) for longer than you have to, and REDUCE that time.

Keep reducing it no matter what.

And the MENTAL part, of course.

There is a tendency to waffle around once you get tired, or start to.

During these times, AFFIX that IMAGE of yourself - - the PERFECT YOU as you exercise.

And imagine yourself super fit, and CONSTANTLY GOING!

Rep after rep, set after set, and you’ll see the exercise times going on, and the breaks, the heart rate hammering through the ROOF, and your gains too!

And last, but not least, don’t think for a minute think that this sort of thing ain’t gonna add strength.

Oh yes, it will.

Strength + conditioning in one package, and if there ever was a benefit to Rahul Mookerjee’s stuff it is THAT!

P.P.S. - Taking a break from Animal Kingdom Workouts. I've decided to stop at 68 exercises for now, and am through writing the descriptions etc for 25 of them. Steady progress, and very much in the works! Back at it tomorrow, but for now, I figured I'd write to you. ;)
