I'm going to try kickboxing, should I swap my lifting to the tactical barbell program? Has anyone here done tactical barbell? What did you think of it?

I'm going to try kickboxing, should I swap my lifting to the tactical barbell program?
There is no need to change your routine. You will quickly feel a need ro up your cardio however.
IDK I think I'd be overtraining with how I currently lift if I added in kickboxing and cardio
Anon kickboxers and boxers do tons of cardio on the side?
Yes but they don't lift heavy 5 days a week
Have you started? My first class will be tomorrow
>Have you started? My first class will be tomorrow
I went to one but I want to try a few schools and see which one I like more (here the first trial lesson tends to be free everywhere).
I definitely felt like my cardio was poor.
kek I'm in the same position opie. I currently do PPL. I think I might just drop some of the accessories. We definitely need to up our cardio though.
Depends what your lifts and all of that are
That being said no. You might need to reduce your lifting overall if you are already strong. If you're weak focus on lifting before kickboxing
I'm strong by IRL standards and a pussy DYEL by IST estat standards
I have 1 plate OHP, 4 pl8 deadlift, I tried 3pl8 squat the other day but didn't fully make it to parallel. (All for singles) Bench is low because I prioritized OHP, my current bench PR is 170 pounds but I rarely max out on it
and your height and bodyweight
6'2 and a chubby 210 pounds
Lmao 210 benching 170, i weigh 70 pounds less than you and only bench 15 pounds less than you baka
ok but i just said i barely bench
how much do u deadlift lol
What's a tactical barbell?
Does it fold up?
It's a book/program intended for strength training for police officers/fighters/soldiers/sprinters etc who can't be sore all the time cuz it interferes with their job/sport/training
So volume instead of heavy weight?
No
Heavy weight for very low volume with decent frequency. Here's one of the example programs in the book. It's not exactly a program, it's more like a programming method. You can move around and customize exercises, and there are 4 different templates in the book
I was thinking of doing bench + squat/ deadlift + chinups. Pretty happy with where my press is currently so
It's pretty much entirely focused on building strength. Advocates against going to failure because it fricks with recovery. Obviously a stupid mindset if the goal is mass but mass is just gonna be a byproduct
Intradesting.
more tactical barbel
hm
11b here, I use TB. I've managed to build decent strength in between field events/deployments/random military bullshit using it. I'm never really sore even after doing the 90%/95% weeks.
One thing I will say is that you should never skip volume - if it says 3-5 sets aim to do 5 even if you have to rest longer. It will pay off later when you test your maxes.
Another thing I've noticed is that week 3 of the 6 week program is the most essential - if you can grind it out and hit full volume at 90% you'll definitely PR next time you test.
Give the author's book on conditioning a look as well, I've heard good things about it.
thanks mate ill take a peek at that book
what lifts do you usually use?
I do squat, bench, and deadlift. I used to do weighted pullups but I'm deployed now and the shitty tent gym I use doesn't have a good setup for them.
Generally once I hit a new 1rm I've found that I'll be capable of repping that same weight one and a half to two training blocks later.
understood
i think imma just do bodyweight im too fat and weak for weighted
No you're not. Do your 1RMs and if you can only do bodyweight then do that but you'll grow out of that phase very quickly due to the forced progression.
I can only do like 4-5 bodyweight pullups though
i still lift 5 times a week
but i swapped entirely to bodyweight and i try to keep the workout as short as possible with a good amount of air from my maxrep
i do
>pplpp
>30 min workouts
>gymnastics rings
i usually lift in the morning than i run for 20minutes
i dont try to push hard on these at all 80% of the times
i do mt 3 times a week for 1 to 2 h
so sometimes i swap from 5 times lifting to 3 or 2 for a month or two when i feel good and try to focus on lifting a bit more ramp up reps and weights and slow down on cardio mt
i think its really a balance act and if you just starting out just really do the bare minimum to keep what you have in terms of strenght and muscles and really focus on your new goals
and once you get kinda into the groove your body adapts you can swing back to lifting a bit if you still want etc.
periodized training if you will so
Nah, I used to do GVT before kickboxing, it was crazy
