I use several different weight training programs that I put together for myself over the years and thought I would share this one as I’ve had good results with it and it might be of use to some of you.
I’m 54 years old and have been lifting since my teens, which puts me in the experienced bracket for exercise and have taught strength and conditioning but I have several health problems that somewhat limit my ability to pursue training as I would wish, so I’ve become familiar with ways of working around problems and trying to still push forward and keep myself in adequate shape to be able to defend myself.
My approach to all training, and due in part to the aforementioned physical limitations, means that I try to look for ways of cutting down ideas to their core substance to get useful work done but without superfluous ideas that I don’t need.
The following program is for building strength endurance and consists of only two movements. I chose the two lifts to be useful for aspects of fight training rather than obstructing it with a competing goal as well as suiting me personally, so bear that in mind when trying them yourself but they might be useful for you if you need a good functional result in the minimum amount of training time and trying to fit that in around fight practice, a busy schedule and life commitments.
