Baki's "Newspaper" Workout

This workout is a little different. Toward the end of the series, Baki, in a display of his grip strength, demonstrates his ability to close his fist entirely around a whole newspaper page. You couldn't see the paper at all. What's the big deal, right?  If you have ever tried to do this, it is extremely difficult. The method is a little more than that, though. You take a page of a news paper--just one page--and lay it flat on a table. Then, you place your hand in the center of the table and, using just the fingers on one hand, crumple the paper up and close your fist around it as hard as you can. After that, switch hands.

These are the pages where Baki demonstrates this amazing skill.

Repeat this until the entire newspaper is gone, or until you can no longer continue. But that's not all...

Baki's Newspaper Workout

1. Grip Training w/whole newspaper
2. Juggle newspaper ball on fists- 10 Minutes

Notes:

• You don't have to complete the entire newspaper, but just go until you can't. If you want to push yourself, wait until the sale paper comes out for the week. If you drop the ball, don't worry, just pick it up and start again. Don't stop the clock. 
• What I mean by "juggling" a newspaper ball on your fists, I mean that you should attempt to keep the crumpled paper in the air for as long as you can, using nothing but your fists. Baki did this after he closed his fist around the sheet of newspaper. 
• This workout is about grip strength and coordination. You probably won't get out of breath and literally anyone can do it, because you're only training with a piece of newspaper. 

That's all for today, until next time, good luck and train hard!

Yu Yu Hakusho: Yusuke's Manic Bike Ride

I've been re-reading Yu Yu Hakusho and there is a scene where Yusuke is using a bike to chase a truck to get back Kuwabara from Sensui's gang.  He passes a sports car in the process (which I imagine was very confusing for the driver) and chases his enemies for several miles. Since Real Anime Training does not have any cycling workouts, I figured this was the opportunity I needed to go ahead and add one. This workout should preferably be done on a real bike, but you may do it on a Spinning or stationary bike if that's all you have.

Yusuke's Manic Bike Ride

Bike 10 Miles as quickly as possible


Notes:

• This is an extremely simple workout, but the first bike workout for Real Anime Training probably shouldn't be outrageous. 
• At the beginning, you'll have to focus on just getting through the miles, which shouldn't be too bad, since it equates to about three miles of running and you could always go very slowly or stop when you need to. 
• The faster you do the workout or the more hills that are on your course, the more difficult it will be, so you can modify it as necessary. 
• If you're on the road, I recommend wearing a helmet for safety. 

That's all for today! Until next time, good luck and train hard!

Stephen Makes Stuff Up #2: Dead Rising

Yet another workout I made up. The point of this workout is to simultaneously tax muscular strength and endurance, while also keeping your heart rate relatively high. You'll start with a low weight and increase it as high as you can using the following format: (Please note that you can start wherever you like, but must follow the prescribed weight increments)

15#, 25#, 45#, 65#, 95#, 135#, 185#, 225#, 275#, 315#, 365#, 405#, 455#, 495#, 545#, 585#, 635#, 675#, 725#

The weights can go very high and I doubt many of you would be able to touch a 700+# deadlift, but it's there just in case one of you is a world class powerlifter and you want to make a point or something. The score on this workout is the highest weight you lifted without failing on any of the sets. Therefore, if you got to the fifth set of deadlifts and only completed three reps without stopping, your score would be whatever that weight was (as this will be an accurate gauge of your strength, endurance, and cardio combined). However, you should go ahead and attempt to complete the workout anyway. More on that in the notes.

On a side note, I like clever names for things. :P  Thus, the name of this workout.

Dead Rising

1. 10 Deadlifts
2. 25 Push-ups (One Minute Limit Each Set)
3. 9 Deadlifts
4. 25 Push-ups
5. 8 Deadlifts
6. 25 Push-ups
7. 7 Deadlifts
8. 25 Push-ups
9. 6 Deadlifts
10. 25 Push-ups
11. 5 Deadlifts
12. 25 Push-ups
13. 4 Deadlifts
14. 25 Push-ups
15. 3 Deadlifts
16. 25 Push-ups
17. 2 Deadlifts
18. 25 Push-ups
19. 1 Deadlift
20. 25 Push-ups

Notes:

• So this means that if you started with 15#, you would do 10 reps with it. Then you would complete 9 reps with 25# and 8 reps with 45# and so on. 
• You may need to use a smaller bar for the 15 and 25# sets, because a normal Olympic bar is 45#.
• If you get up into higher weights during the workout and need to break up the listed reps into smaller sets of 1 or 2, that's perfectly fine. However, your score for the workout will be the heaviest weight you completed in an unbroken set.
• If you are unable to pick up a listed weight for a set at all, your workout is over and your score reverts to the heaviest weight you lifted prior to that set.
• Pay attention to the fact that you will also be completing 250 push-ups during this workout. Don't worry about failing on a set of push-ups, because you are allotted a full minute to complete all 25. If you are not able to complete 25 push-ups in one minute, your score will revert back to the heaviest weight you lifted prior to that failed set. Go ahead and attempt to finish the workout, however, in order to push your endurance. 
• It will obviously take a little time to change your weight in between sets, but that's fine and has been taken into account. 
• Once again: Your score is the heaviest unbroken set of deadlifts you completed. 

That's all for today! Until next time, good luck and train hard!
