How do you combine tricking and regular gym training?

[tvsmurf]

Hi!

I just started tricking a few weeks ago and I wonder how you combine your tricking sessions and your gym session. I've been to the gym for about a year but since I started my tricking I quit all my gym training because I feel that it interfered with the tricking. So how do you combine those things?

Thanks in advance!!

have you actually just tried going to the gym on one day then tricking on another?

haha, my first post ever! have that in mind! no but i figured that if I go to the gym the day before I I'am about to trick perhaps my "training acke" (don't know what its called in english) would interfere, correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks for fast reply

train, rest, trick, repeat.

works for 99% of the tricking community :good:

train regularly and trick whenever you feel like it

It takes me 1 hour to walk to my gym, so after 3 hours (1 hour walk there, 1 in the gym and 1 back) I have a 30 minuet Tricking session. It wasn't half bad either haha.

my schedule used to be:

monday: tricking for one hour
tuesday: weight training (5 x 5)
wednesday: tricking for one hour
thursday: weight training (5 x 5)
friday: rest
Saturday: Weight Training (5 x 5)
Sunday: rest

and it worked beautifully for me

When I do things more how I feel they should, personally

Day 1: Chest, Triceps
Day 2: Tricking, Back, Biceps
Day 3: Shoulders
Day 4: Tricking, Legs

Posssiblyyy a day of rest depending on how sore my shoulders are.

When I DO trick, (I've only started regular tricking rather than once every 4 weeks like, 7 days ago haha), I trick twice in the day for 20 minutes each time, about 10 minutes dynamic and static stretching before I do it. This way I can trick with full energy each time, it generally goes like

Breakfast-
Shower-
Trick-
Lunch-
Cup of tea-
Trick-
Carry on with rest of day:

Yeah atm i'm training:
Monday = Rest
Tuesday = Back/Biceps/Abs
Wednesday = Tricking in a gym
Thursday = Legs/Shoulders
Friday = Chest/triceps
Saturday = Rest
Sunday = Rest, occasional Freerunning.

Sucks cause my gyms at uni and i dont have uni on mondays. (Takes an hour to get to uni)
Aslong as i dont do any workouts on wednesday, i find my tricking sessions go quite well:D

Then cause i work like 9pm-5am Friday/Saturday night...i get shit all done on the weekend lol

Hello guys what is whey?

[linkrjh]

Monday: run, swim, lift
Tuesday: lift
Wednesday: swim, lift, trick
Thursday: lift
Friday: run, lift
Saturday: run, trick, lift
Sunday: surf/kayak/something random that isn't running, lifting, tricking, or swimming

I'm doing a 3 day split twice a week. It's hard to combine this crap with work and school. :(
