Is is possible to get world class fitness one training camp(1-3months)?

[stevexx28]

Don't fighters take like a year off anyway and some like winky did nothing for almost 2 years and came back to fight a 12 round fight. Is your fitness gradual, like how it takes years to build a world class physique or can you just put yourself through one super intense bootcamp and be ready for anything?

Wright has also done that sort of thing his whole life (boxing). If you think some average Joe can become a world class boxer in 3 months, I'm sorry but I'm gonna say you're an idiot.

[MrSmall]

In 3 months you can do a lot but you really really need to build up things like fitness.
It's a LIFELONG Thing.

[twoohands]

for fighters who have been training all there lifes they can possibly get worls class fitness in 3 months after a 1 year lay off. But these sort of guys already have there skills and knowlegde set into there muscle memory and they know how to train.
As for someone coming of the street and wanting to be a world class fighter in 3 months not a chance, but that person could achieve 12 round fitness at a lower level for sure from 3 months of intense training. Its better to build up your fitness and maintain a decent level and peak when you need too.

He didn't say a world class boxer, he said world class fitness read the post properly before calling posters idiots. :good

I doubt you would have world class fitness but it would be very good if you was intense and doing it all at world class standards.

[RDJ]

No. You'd be overtrained in no time.

[elTerrible]

You could do a lot if say you had 24/7 devoted to just getting fit and no job, school, money, family worries.

Look at those guys for 300 where they just spent however many weeks it was getting in good shape for the movie.

[RDJ]

The amount of exercise someone like Wright needs to get back in that shape is enormous. The amount of exercise average joe would need would be a multitude of that. It would end in overtraining within a week. Average Joes can not workout for 5 or 6 hours a day.

[boxingtactics07]

not a chance. intensity and experience is the difference between an average person and a professional.

eh no if a novice took on an intense training regime at world class standards their body would cave in and suffer serious injury's and over training

thread starter this is the worst question i have heard since someone asked how many times do you wrap your hand wraps around your ankles

them guys were bodybuilding and mainly working on their abdominals, there is a difference to that and getting competitive for a fight

Saying they where bodybuilding and mostly working on ankles is a contradiction of terms.

Alot of them where already very toned (an also alot of the abs where CGed on)

The guys from 300 were mostly stuntmen. They were already big strong muscular guys. Gerard Butler was no slouch either. They trained to look really ripped for the movie, but if you took some fat guy who's never worked out before, he could not get those kind of results in a few weeks.

[Bodi]

In a word, no.. infact hell no!

World class fitness comes from many years of world class training, world class diet, world class lifestyle, world class sleep etc.

If achieving world class fitness was so easy to come by, why do we train? Simply put, before you get to a level of world class fitness, you need world class work capacity - i've lost count of the amount of people who ask for Mike Tyson's training routine, thinking it is the elixer to physical perfection, they take this routine to the gym, try it, then die - this is because they don't have the work capacity to maintain the necessary volume and intensity. Work capacity is built up through many, many years of training.

I guarantee you this, if any average joe off the street walked into a gym and tried to do one of Manny Pacquiao's workout's, or any top level boxer for that matter, they wouldn't even get through the warmup, and it would take them more than 3 months to recover from that alone!

A pro boxers idea of a year off probably means only spending 2 hours a day in the gym.

It is also much easier to get back to a level of fitness you have previously had than it is to get there in the first place. Your muscles seem to have a memory for that sort of thing.

i read the training logs of the main actors of 300 pal and they were bodybuilding regimes, 6 to 12 reps doing 1 or 2 main body parts per day and the abs were done every second day, bodybuilding diet too

i cant see how i contradicted my terms there

I think that if you have trained your entire life a 3 month camp will work to get you in shape for a 12 rounder. Even if you have been off for a year or two, your body is used to a life time of boxing training so it won't take as long to get in shape. I noticed when I started training that my body would get out of shape very quickly. After even a week off I would notice a signifigant difference. A few years go by of training on and off and if I have been training hard now and take a few weeks off, I notice I don't lose fitness as fast, and I still feel like boxing moves are natural to me.

The 3 month program will only work if you have been training your entire life.

How would someone go about doing 5 or 6 hours of exercise a day? That seems very hard, I've never done it before, I'll end up doing about 90 minutes or so for my boxing training, though I'll probably need to do more than that when I get to a gym.
