My Career: On the Field, With the Field, and Off the Field

On the Field

Endurance, Perseverance, Determination. These are all traits required of someone hoping to reach their deepest goals and aspirations. Here I will share my perspective from a unique point of view on sports. At 30 years old, I have played many sports throughout my life, and have had the opportunity to work in the sports industry on a few occasions. I currently have the chance to play on a local county cricket team, which is a sport I hope gains recognition in the United States. I plan to share the performance of myself, our team, and Cricket in the USA, in a blog post located at the middle of this page. In accordance with this path, I also enjoy athletic training and will keep a section of this page (My Workouts) updated with my latest weight lifting and cardio workouts.

In addition to Cricket, I will be updating a full page discussing professional sports in America and internationally, this will be located on the My Future tab. I will be creating a frequent update of sports articles and presentations covering a variety of topics. The content here will have opinions and analysis from a diverse perspective, and will be presented in understandable format. The posts are available for comment, and I hope discussion is generated!

The content may not be focused on any specific teams, but I will keep frequently updated analytical articles posted in blog format. Please visit the My Future page to remain updated.

Off the Field

I enjoy physically training to maintain and expand on current strengths and wellness. Between cardio exercise and weight training, there are many ways to improve upon individual wellness. I will share my most recent workouts in a section at the bottom of this page. Most of my workouts are intended to be suitable for people of all ages and physical states, and each can be varied to your personal well being.

I encourage and request feedback on the workouts as I am always looking to add more to my repertoire. I also enjoy varying the workouts to avoid being stagnant. Feedback and suggestions on other workouts that work for you would be very helpful, thanks!

Please view the end of this page to receive the latest updates on workouts. I will also provide a link to more detailed files on the workouts, and nutrition advice located on the My Wellness page!

Weight Workouts

Here I will give the details on my most recent workout routine

Free Weight Barbell Bench

185 - 225+ lbs

Begin with a warm up set of 20+ repetitions at a comfortable weight, then gradually increase weight by 20-50lb intervals. Repetition amount will decrease with weight increase, but for best productivity it is good to do at least 5 sets of at least 10 repetitions of each weight.

Pull Ups or Lat Pulldowns

Varied

Weight amount can vary based on individual preference and experience level. You can perform this exercise on open bar or weight machine. But as with the bench press, it is best to do 5 sets of at least 10 repetitions at each weight.

Close Grip Free Weight Bench

Varied

This is similar to the bench press but is done with your hands placed closed together, nearly clenched, above the chest. Your hands then remain at this interior position when continuing with the bench press upward. This focuses on the interior muscles of the chest, and can be done with free weight dumbbells or on the bench. Weight can be varied on preference, but again it is best to do at least 4 sets of 20 repetitions.

Chest Flies

Varied

This done from the bench position, begin with a light weight. The starting position will be with arms outstretched, spreading the individual wingspan, with one dumbbell weight in each hand. The next position will be with both arms directly above, brought together from the first position as if making a clap form. Performed with the free weight bench, it is best to do 4 sets of 20+ repetitions

Seated Row

Varied

This can be done on machine or via free weight, but is great way of strengthening the same muscles as the pull up. Whether using the machine or free weight, the position will be different. It is important to maintain comfortable weight while focusing on the proper technique of the routine.

Dips

Varied

This can be done in a free form and is a great means for accessing important core muscle groups and maintaining a full body workout. It takes time to build strength but progress can be made with dedication. Here are the two best positions for performing the routine. It is best to do at least 4 sets.

Bicep Curls

Varied

A commonly used but understated workout, these curls can be valuable muscle strengthening exercises for the upper arm. Can be done in barbell or free weight form. Max productivity is at least 4 sets of 25+ repetitions.

Overhead Tricep Raises

Varied

This is a common exercise to balance out the same muscle groups addressed in the bicep curl workout. Choose a comfortable weight and perform at least 4 sets of 25+ repetitions.
