TRAIN WITH IGOR MAZURENKO: ARMWRESTLING 101 pt. 2 # Armwrestling # Armpower.net

Armwrestling demands from its beginners to follow certain rules and regulations. Here are some of them.

()

We can divide training into 3 stages:

I stageabout 3 months.

Training unit consists of 7 exercises, 4-6 sets per exercise divided into:

Preparatory set – 15-20 reps

8-10 and descending, 6,5,4,3.

II stage – from 3rd to about 7th month

Training unit consists of 5 exercises, 5 – 8 sets per exercise divided into:

Preparatory set – 2 x 15 – 20 reps

8-10 and descending, 6,5,4,3,2,1.

HR should not exceed 120130 (forming strength).

III stage – after 7 months

Perform concentric exercises, limited movement range; introduce some isometrics and plyometrics.

Training consists of 4-5 exercises / 6-8 sets / from 6 to 1 reps with isometric balance of weights.

Finish the training with 2 plyometric sets, 4 reps maximum. Plyometric training is based on deliberately damaging muscle fibers in order for them to repair and get stronger during the rest phase.

AFTER 7 MONTHS IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO TAILOR THE TRAINING REGIME TO FIT THE INDIVIDUAL TRAINEE AND CALCULATE THE INTENSITY OF TRAINING FOR MAXIMUM PROGRESS.

The coach must make the trainee realize that deficit is a good thing to experience after a workout. That assures full regeneration of strength before the next workout and prevents overtraining.

The number of meals consumed by the trainee should fully cover their daily energetic demand + the energetic expense during the training; that makes for about 4 – 6 FULLY BALANCED meals a day.
