Today's Training: Mixed Bag!

  Today was a day of mixed training which included playing 8 games of singles squash and then followed up with a strength training session.

Warmup: Leg swings, arm circles, lateral squats, rotational squats, Groiners, Inchworms

Squash: 8 games singles. For those that haven't/don't play squash, take it from me. This is great conditioning work...interval style without even thinking about it...just chase that little black ball.

Workout: Speed deadlifts w/bands(short orange)-6 x 3 (on the minute); Spud strap L-seat chins 3 x 8 supersetted with RFESS 3 x 10 ea.
   KB Farmers Carries-2 x 75 yds. @ 32 kg. each

Comments: Good session with the combo of the squash and the lifting. I count squash as interval conditioning work as that is what is it is...short to medium length bursts with very little rest between points.  Squash is one of the few sports where there truly is a negative work/rest ratio i.e. the work periods are longer than the rest periods in most cases.

Train hard and train smart!
