Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

Mr. Kurz, I am working on my boxing. One thing I see from the old time trainers is that they believe one should not do fixed patterns over and over when shadow boxing. In other words, don't do, say 100 sets of the left-right combo, 100 sets of the straight right left hook, etc, but try to "mix them ...

No answer after 3 months?

Mr Kurz, what routine do you do as far as kettlebells, and how do they mix with squats and deadlifts.

I can now do 30 of the medicine ball crunches at time, so, when I can do 100, I'll move on to the sit ups. I find the medicine ball crunches easier on my ...
