Hello everyone. Lately I’ve been thinking about different programs combining different lifts that normally aren’t associated with each other. For lack of a better word, Hybrid. I’m wanting to possibly incorporate tools that I’ve learned over the last few years but not sure how. A combo of bodybuilding, some Oly lifts (cleans, C&J, etc.) and kettlebells. I’ve combined certain lifts before and seemed to work well but my mind is drawing a blank. I have some general ideas but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I’m on vacation right now, a much much much needed vacation but I was hoping to slowly start back next week. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks! |

The DJ's Workout Generator might be a wise choice.

I've been following your log for years, and I think your mixes are awesome. What do you feel is missing?

Have you ever had that feeling that you’re missing something but can’t exactly pinpoint what? That’s the feeling I have….just feels like I’m lagging, stuck in a rut…could be just one of those things too I guess |

I can't remember where I read this (ultimate athletecism by Max shank?) but it mentions doing power/Oly moves first when fresh, then the more strength grindy moves, then maybe finishers last. So you could do Oly lifts first when fresh. Bodybuilding as the strength grinds in the middle. High rep KB moves as a finisher. Another suggestion by max shank was time blocks rather then necessarily sets/reps. This is good if you need to get a work out done in a set time frame. However I think you could also use the types of reps to suit the type of training. For example 15 minutes of progressively heavier singles working upon to a reasonable weight in the Oly lifts to start (maybe change each workout). Then 15 minutes doing sets of 5 to 10 in an EDT (Charles Staley) type of format supersetting bodybuilding exercises.(maybe change each workout). Then a 10 minute finisher of high rep KB work/loaded carries kinda thing.(maybe change each workout). Done Hits your three different strength modalities in their somewhat normal rep ranges & arguably using them for what they are well suited for. ??????? |

After reading the original post, I thought of Jim Wendler as well. Especially the "North of ..." -template: 1. Warmup (foam roll, stretch) 2. Lift weights 3. Condition (Hill sprints, Prowler, jumping rope)

Expanding on this a bit, one idea to build some sort of training routine around this would be that you chose a bunch of movement categories, for example: - Push - Pull - Legs Then you'd choose different exercise categories for each of the movements: - Strength - Bodybuilding - Conditioning For "Pull", this could be: - Strength: Power Cleans (or Deadlift, Trap Bar Deadlift etc.) - Bodybuilding: Row (or Pullups, Curls etc.) - Conditioning: Sled/car pull (or Ski Ergometer etc.) If you combined the exercises above, you'd get a "hybrid pull workout". Or, you could put together a bunch of hybrid whole body workout sessions: - Push: Strength (The Press) - Pull: Bodybuilding (Pullups) - Legs: Conditioning (Sprints) - Pull: Strength - Legs: Bodybuilding - Push: Conditioning ...

You and I usually combine strength work, bodybuilding, and conditioning in the same workout, but I'm going to see what happens if I give each its own day. May not be our way; however, it might be fun to switch gears for a few weeks. Take a look. Maybe you'll get some ideas.

I think you’ve just invented Sensible Crossfit. And I love it!

I was just thinking about Jim Wendler who recentishly wrote about 'Bodybuild the upper, athlete the lower' which is, basically, do your lower body stuff for relatively low volume, with a focus on speed and crispness, and then do volume work and such for the upper body. Which appeals to me a lot, for whatever reason. |

(And also conditioning work for the legs - sprints, jumps, etc) |

I think you’ve just invented Sensible Crossfit. And I love it! Ha, thanks for the compliment! This might be one of those "chasing too many goals at the same time" workouts, but I bet it could be fun.

Which is perfect for people who, like me, don't really give a damn about results as long as we're having fun.

I think you’ve just invented Sensible Crossfit. And I love it! I really like this! What a great template with so many combinations. I'd like to explore this more.

Explosive Push Ups Sled Push Pull Strength Deadlift Power Cleans Trap Bar Dead Weighted Chins Bodybuilding Rows BW Chins High Rep Rows Curls Conditioning Sled Pull KB Swing DBL Cleans. DBL Swings. Snatch. DBL Snatch Legs Strength Squat Deadlift Split Squat Pistol DBL KB Squat Bodybuilding High Rep Goblets / Slant Board Squats. Lunge BW Pistol Conditioning Hindu Squats Sprints Sled Drag Sled Push Prowler Some cross over categories obviously.

Instead of looking for new ways to work harder, why don’t you try doing the DMPM for a month and see how that makes you feel. |

Instead of looking for new ways to work harder, why don’t you try doing the DMPM for a month and see how that makes you feel. This, kind of. I'm doing easy Clean and Press (ie quick lift) 3x3 ESOL,Deadlift (strength) 2x5 EES. Then Sprint (properly for speed not to get tired) or carry the plates around for a bit. Design for life. |

(guilty) I am too. But sometimes, just sometimes, maybe, when I feel there’s something missing and I’m not making any progress the thing I’m missing is recovery… |
