Didn't over do it, 15 minutes of cardio, chin ups, bench, leg extensions, abs, basic stuff to get my body used to the exertion. Good solid hour of gym time.
Got a question.
I plan on getting into Boxing and some Wrestling/Jiu Jitsu training down the line, what amount of strength and conditioning should I be doing to get me ready?
Currently, it's just my Dad who's helping me with my gym routine, he's the one who got me into it back when I was a teenager, but he's no expert and the routine I was doing was more for definition than for serious strength. I want to put on a good amount of muscle now that I'm in my 20's and my metabolism has slowed down, allowing me to put on more.
I want functional strength over beach muscles though, I want to look good, but I'm not looking to win any body building comps and I don't want to lose any speed(I'm not very athletic, so I already don't have much as is). What are some exercises I can do to increase strength, speed, agility etc, to become a better athlete?
