[AfroBandit]

i did a 8 minute constant squat it was epic

but apparently the best way to train for parkour is 2 do parkour...

[Zack Weldon]

Heh i agree or the most part but like on muscle ups a couple months ago i wasnt able to do them so i trained on a pull up bar and tri-cep pushups and now I can do a muscle up pretty decent ;)

SATURDAY: Swim
Your choice of swimming exercise for 30-45 minutes followed by static stretching.

SUNDAY: Off day – eliminate lactic acid build up
Double water intake - Nice.
2 Protein shakes - More protein = more muscle repair.
Static stretching
Static stretching is an effective way of removing lactic acid buildup in muscles and also a good way to relax. When Sunday comes around, stretch the muscles that are most sore. Guidelines for static stretching:
Breathe slowly and deeply
Increase the stretch over time but always without pain
30 minute walk - Walking is also effective at removing lactic acid, as the muscles pump the acid is pushed out. This is the same reason that Tako can squat 275 and not be sore the next day, he bikes to work and pumps out all the lactate. Clever Korean.
