Jakes pre season cricket log

[Jakester1288]

OK, firstly, welcome to my log.

So I've taken a bit of a break from the weights, training, whole working out thing. I'm back now, and am ready to go again. I plan on starting fresh, again with light weights, good form, and be a lot more cricket specific.

I have some old cricket magazines that have plenty of training ideas, hints, tips and the like, and am going to use them regularly. I am going to do cardio often. I am not going to be following a high protein diet like I have previously, rather just make healthy choices more often, combined with my exercising.

Program:
Monday - Back, Biceps, Forearms
Wednesday - Legs
Friday - Chest, shoulders and triceps

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday will be bodyweight workouts, cardio and cricket specific exercises and training. Wish me luck!

Yeah, I am a seam bowler.

Meh that's what I would have thought spinners (like me) wouldn't dream of doing that to save their lives.

I don't understand why you're training like a bodybuilder.

I suggest you go to www.rosstraining.com, he'll explain about sports specific training.

Weight training is a very important part of training for cricket, but training like a bodybuilder will not help your cricket. If you want more information, feel free to visit my website www.getfitforcricket.blogspot.com, I've written an article about bodybuilding.

If bodybuilding is your goal, good luck. If becoming a good bowler is your goal, I really think you'd be better off rethinking your plan.
