I did p90x for a time, but Tony Horton's face just enraged me too much. I had to quit. :laugh:

Also, I mix it up in terms of working out, how do you feel about running steps? I figured it would be much better in terms of burning fat and not losing muscle (over long distance runs).

There are a lot of stretches that can solve that issue, and also using a firm foam roller helps tremendously as well. When I coached wrestling and led workouts, I def had my wrestlers run steps. It's a good workout that increases explosion.

Seemed more like he was just trying to shed some fat off the lazy catchers/pitchers who weren't overly active.

like_that;1461449 wrote:Based on your description it just sounds like you guys ran up the steps for 30 minutes, maybe at around 85%. 30 minutes of the same exercise and steps seems excessive. I am talking pure explosive sprints up steps. I don't just do sprints either. I do side shuffle steps, ski jumps, one legged hops, two legged hops (1 or every 2 steps), double tap on each step, etc.

What are ski jumps?

This is the only video i could find lol, but it pretty much shows the mechanics. I use the same mechanics hopping up steps.
