Off-Season Conditioning

[briancurtin]

i dont officiate other sports, so i do have an off-season, in which i get back hard into my weightlifting and cardio routines 5-6 days a week. during the baseball season i lighten up on the weights because if i do squats with my full weight, i'll feel it for a few 2-3 days afterwards...something i dont want hindering me if i have a game within that range. upper body groups i dont really have to lighten up on during the season, but i do take things a bit lighter with them at the beginning of the season.

i dont add/remove anything for in-season/off-season, i just change the intensity of what i do (so far).
however, that may be changing -- i might try to start playing some pick-up basketball games at the gym if i can. running on the treadmill is nice but it doesnt have the intensity of running a full court, or even half court, basketball game.

Crank that puppy up to 8mph and 7degree loft then come back and tell us about the treadmaill having a lack of intensity.
