I mostly do shadow boxing and hard surface kicking (old boat) with construction shoes (front/straight kicks mostly, circular can turn dangerous with those shoes). I don't have equipment except a pull up bar, a jump rope, and a barbell I use like a bo staff (basic left/right/left/right crosses like strikes at torso level like a madman, for both power and stamina, some basic spins, old and spin at arms length). I don't go to the gym, too much NPCs on spinning wheels. The rest is classic, pushups, series of jumps, nothing fancy just moving stuffs/dynamic stuffs. Because the main problem of body building is "staticity", like you train your body to remain camped during effort, that's not a good habit and that's what the body will reproduce during stressful situation, like combat. But I have nothing against power training, to be clear
I just kick the bottom of the heavy bag for shin conditioning. And I tap and roll myshins with a wooden dowel when I'm sitting around watching tv or chilling.
Power training is definitely not the only thing I do. It's to supplement my training. Which I'm going to have to grind out hard since I've been sick with the jewflu for a week. Rolling and sparring is going to suck balls the first week or two when I go back. The docs said I'm not cleared until the 14th.
Nothing replaces sparring. Sucks to have the chinese shit. You're diagnosed as covid19 sick?
all flu has been classified as covid as far as I have heard. I haven't heard any otherwise. It has been lasting longer, albeit a bit weaker than the typical flu, tho. But the last time I had the flu 3 years ago it felt like death, but shorter.
I'm just now eating solid food today. I should be able to at least shadow box and do some bodyweight exercises here in a few days. probably start with a little focused stretching to open up
edit:now. not not
