Quit playing. If it's not naturally easy for you, then don't do it? Why would someone want to actually have to work to get better at something..?


Great motivational speech!

Do insanity for 2-4 weeks. Your cardio will skyrocket.

Or just do some at home cirucit training/sprint drills.
Prison pushups /spiderman pushups
Burpees
Body weight jump squats
Running planks
Oblique plank runners


Do like 45 sec of each or something. Rest Rinse repeat

Recently I had games back to back. I was playing Thursday Friday . Was always a bit tired for my Friday games , I also use to squat on Friday mornings but I got rid of that and only squat 1x a week on Tuesday.

Thinking about adding HIIT on Wednesday


squatting should have no effect unless you can't walk after squats lol. this Saturday I played archery tag (like dodgeball), then went to gym and squatted, then played ice hockey, then ate at a buffet (carb load), then played ice hockey. I was fine during hockey.

Effects me everytime so I had to stop , I could feel my legs were "heavy".

My cardio is on the same level as most , I just want to be faster stronger etc than most so I have an advantage.

When I was trying to gain endurance in my legs for my firefighting testing I would do a beep test as a warm up then run stairs with a 55 lb vest and another 75lbs on my shoulders with 5lb ankle weights. I did this in a car park where I'd go up 3 storeys and back down 3 times without stopping. I would do it twice

I would then go to the gym and squat 185 for max reps to failure, 3 sets (25 first set, 20 second, 15 3rd set usually) or do 225 for 5 sets of 8 reps with only 1 minutes of rest in between sets. I also did a couple other finisher exercises after but this was the gist of it.

I'm only 165 so it would whoop my ass, but my leg endurance and muscle recovery was off the charts. If you think you have good cardio, try what I was doing, and you'll probably reconsider lol

Join the army, join the fire brigade. Anyone has some serious advice?

For your particular needs, do interval training. Jog - sprint - jog - sprint - jog - sprint and prolonge the sprints / add more gradually. Keep track of it. Ask yourself "whos a pussy?" before you begin your workouts.
