Level-Up your HEMA Training

[@IPostSwords]

Multi-disciplinary training is extremely valuable, from general fitness and conditioning to specific exercises (like footwork) and sparring all contribute to a well rounded HEMAist

This is very good advice, especially for those who are just getting started, well put and well done 👍

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thanks!

[@corrugatedcavalier5266]

Agree with all of these! I've neglected my footwork training a little bit, gotta get back on it.

[@Davlavi]

Well said.

[@Noone-y5z]

Brilliant advice.

#3 is so important. This is really how the feedback loop starts - you are your own worst critic 😅

[@FedericoMalagutti]

True!

[@417hemaspringfieldmo]

Federico have you tried Mike Tyson push ups....you won t regret it . Also I have been regularly using ball maces for years..very recommended.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

I am now following a structured barbell training system followed by a professional, so I’ll stick to it ;-)

How is your progress on major three?
I suppose you are more focused on a strenght progress than on a physique imrovements.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Yes, I’m also working on the overhead press, other that bench, squat and deadlift. Working over strength mainly. It’s going pretty well! I’m now focusing a bit on form on deadlift, while pushing forward with new PRs the others. I’ll maybe make a video at some point about my workout and PRs

*me watching this from the toilet seat: "I'm already doing great 👍"

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Indeed, you are! XD

And then there is psychological training. And who is not into mindfullness, meditation, introspection and visualization, should at least care for good sleep and rest!
