Fast Twitch Training Day!!

Today the workout is going to be short but sweet.... and by sweet I mean a hard work phase for ten seconds followed by 50 seconds of rest. The rest period is pretty damn long for the amount of work done, so that ten seconds of work has to be really, REALLY hard. This will focus on the Anaerobic-Alactic energy pathway with the idea of increasing the density of mitochondria in your fast twitch muscle fibers. These are the muscle fibers that are great at creating short bursts of speed or power but fatigue very quickly.... hence the rest between sets.

Today's quote is from Muhammad Ali:

"I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark."

Workout: Anaerobic-Alactic Training Day
Warm-Up:
Rowing Machine, 10 minutes
Workout:
20lbs. Slam Ball Slam, 20 sets: 10 seconds of work, 50 seconds rest

Have a Great Day!!
