I posted this in my motivation thread...but I also wanted to share it with you guys in case you haven't seen it. It gives me a lot of motivation every time I watch, hope that it can do the same for some of you.
I listen to this song almost everytime I'm about to start my workout. Track is amazing.

Damn I tried to find the Official Thread I made, but I guess it didn't carry over from yuku.
Anyway, great program! As I stated before, great way to build endurance, stamina, flexibility and lean muscle.
I think i'm gonna start Tap Out XT probably August though, see how that program goes.

FROM BB.COM:
Train Like Ronaldo: Build A Body For A Better Game
The Sultan of the Step-over’s skill is highlighted by his athletic build. Elevate your game and upgrade your physique with this Ronaldo-inspired training regimen!
On the wings of his magnificent quads, Cristiano Ronaldo came to me in a dream. He challenged me to a battle of football - one v. one soccer can happen in dreams - to see if I had what it takes to make the Portuguese national team for the Euro and upcoming Olympics.
(In my dreams, you don't have to be Portuguese, or a man, to play for the team.)
As our game ensued, Ronaldo was immediately appalled at my lack of sufficient athletic ability.
He insisted that my strength, endurance and power were woefully below where they should be. He sat me down and demonstrated a training program that would bring me up to par.
Sure, I wanted nothing more than to admire his skill (and chest), but he insisted that I get off my butt and train.
Foot Fight
CR7's body is leaner and more athletic than a bodybuilder or fitness model, but it's still worth admiring and aspiring to. He works hard for it; so hard, in fact, that I woke up from my dream feeling badly for spending so much time sleeping while he was training to be a champ. His training emphasizes explosion, endurance, speed, strength and functional movement alongside his many hours of footwork and team practices.
While most of us can't hope to come close to his skill level, we may still find his training routine helpful in pursuit of our fitness or athletic goals. True, your chest and triceps won't get to Hulk-status with this workout routine, but Hulk-status isn't always necessary. I'm not sure anyone cares that Ronaldo's arms aren't comparable to Arnold's.
This training routine focuses on power, explosion and speed. Use it to enhance your physique or combine it with agility training, footwork, stretching and team practices to up your game to baller status.
Every position on the pitch requires different skills, but being a strong, powerful athlete can be universally applied.
Day 1: Repeat Circuit 3x
Barbell Squat 8 reps
Box Jump (Multiple Response) 10 reps
Broad Jump 8 reps
Jumping Lunge 8 reps each leg
Lateral Bound 10 reps each leg
Day 2: Rest
Day 3: Repeat Circuit 3x
Burpee Pullup 10-15 reps
Bench Dips 20 reps
Pushups 20-30 reps
Medicine Ball Toss 15 reps
Day 4: Quads/Cardio
Power Clean from Blocks 5 sets of 5 reps
Day 5: Stability/Core
One-Arm Side Deadlift 3 sets of 5 reps (each arm)
Dumbbell One-Legged Deadlift (Shown with kettlebell) 2 sets of 10 reps (each leg)
Knee Tuck Jump 3 sets of 10-12 reps
Overhead Slam 3 sets of 10-12 reps
One Leg Barbell Squat 2 sets of 5 (each leg)
Hanging Leg Raise 3 sets of 10-15 reps
Day 6: Rest
Day 7: Cardio
Rope Jumping 10 sets of 1 min on, 1 min res
Resistance Sprinting 10 sets of 50 meters

Bros I'm getting back on the court and I pretty much play everyday.
Arms were sore like hell the first few days so I started jogging in between
days. My question is playing moderate to vigorous basketball daily overtraining?
It's hard for me to just sit still and not play for a day even if I'm sore

Lol people have to realize Ronaldo is on the soccer pitch for hours doing major cardio 5-6 days throughout the week. Plus add in the fact he has great genes and a body physique.
I'm sure that workout posted will do pretty good but you'll have to train like pro soccer player on top of it

I have no shame in carrying a small towel on days Im lifting. Folks just have no courtesy of wiping benches and machines down

Why wouldn't you carry around a small towel? I always do. Mainly to put it on the bench or machine that I am using so nobody else uses it. I like to walk around between sets. Also not to put my head on sweat and wipe my own.

i dont carry a towel, but 24 hour fitness has paper towels and a disinfectant that I use to wipe before and after.
i carry a nalgene water bottle to reserve my spot if i walk away for a second.
speaking of gym etiquette though, people who save 4 different machines/benches/racks at the same time for themselves when the gym's packed

I don't carry a towel either and just use the paper towels/disinfectant.

Jumped up 15 lbs on Military Presses rather than the intended 5 lbs
My shoulders were shot after 1 set on the wrong weight, I couldn't even do 3 full sets of the weight I was aiming for.
Shoulders hurt so when I went to squat, it was uncomfortable.
Overall, not a good night in the gym.

Will try again on Thursday though...

I'm at the end of Neil Hill's Y3T training and am also off supps for two weeks.
Starting tomorrow I will be incorporating increased cardio to train for the 8 mile spartan race.
I pray that I don't lose too much muscle mass.
For the runners, soccer players out there,
Can you recommend me a routine to work myself to 8-12 miles.
I'm def going to modify my weight training to mid-light weights and mid to high reps.

He has already earned himself a record-breaking 16 Olympic medals and the world will watch as he propels himself through the water for gold in the next few weeks.
But American international swimmer Michael Phelps works hard for the enviably strong physique that has garnered him an army of female fans as well as a closet full of medals.
The 27-year-old athlete, whose arms span 6ft 7in (201 cm)—disproportionate to his height of 6ft 4in inches (193 cm)— maintains that his performance is down to his highly calorific diet, which sees him feast on a staggering 12,000 calories every day.
He starts the day with a hearty breakfast consisting of three fried-egg sandwiches, three chocolate chip pancakes, a five-egg omelette, three sugar-coated slices of French toast, and a bowl of grits (maize porridge).
His lunch doesn't get much smaller as he devours half a kilogram of pasta (enriched with vitamins and fibre) over lunch, two large ham and cheese sandwiches covered in mayonnaise and gallons of energy drinks.
For his final meal of the day, he finishes off the remaining kilogram of pasta, followed by pizza and more energy drinks.
For his final meal of the day, he finishes off the remaining kilogram of pasta, followed by pizza and more energy drinks.
Jenny says that Michael's energy drink consumption is necessary for an athlete in order to keep his electrolytes balanced and his muscles hydrated.
'Carb and electrolyte enhance drinks should be taken to replenish glycogen stores in muscles and liver as dehydration can cause muscles to fatigue very quickly.
'But I would always check the sugar content on the bottles.'
Phelps' high-calorie diet clearly pays off as his international titles and record-breaking performances have earned him the World Swimmer of the Year Award six times and American Swimmer of the Year Award eight times.
He has won a total of 66 medals in major international competition, 55 gold, nine silver, and three bronze spanning the Olympics, the World, and the Pan Pacific Championships.
His unprecedented Olympic success in 2008 earned Phelps Sports Illustrated magazine's Sportsman of the Year award.
The 12,000 calorie-a-day diet that Michael feasts on
BREAKFAST
• Three fried-egg sandwiches
• Three chocolate chip pancakes
• A five-egg omelette
• Three sugar-coated slices of French toast
• A bowl of grits (maize porridge)
LUNCH
• Half a kilogram of pasta
• Two large ham and cheese sandwiches covered in mayonnaise
• Gallons of energy drinks
DINNER
• Half a kilogram of pasta
• Pizza
• Energy drinks

I think HIIT running would be your best Option, It seems you obviously have a good level of fitness so i would recommend :-
5 minutes steady warm up - (approx 9km)
45 Seconds Sprint
30 Seconds Rest
45 Seconds Sprint
30 Seconds Rest
(Repeat as many times as possible - If you arent dripping in sweat try 1 minute sprint and 30 seconds rest)

He eats way more than what is listed. He's a professional swimmer lol, I am sure he has people who know what they are doing and he knows what he is doing. Plus hes not a bodybuilder either, his protein intake does not have to be that high compared to a bodybuilder

Wayyyy too high in Sat Fat content..sports drinks..all that cheese and sugar..and Mayo..seriously? no matter how may calories he burns in the pool theres no way this is his diet..pasta and bowl of grits maybe..the rest is trash..and im sure he eats more then 3 times a day also..5 or 6 likely..more meals per day at smaller servings
