Welcome on board :good

Where do you train? What's your ambition / record / etc? :)

Thanks

I train at the GP Boxing gym, its been off and on the last few years with college but when Im finished or whenever I get a slack semester I'll be getting a few fights. I want to win the bronze, silver and golden gloves out here and go to (and win) provincials. Im undefeated so far (....no fights :tong). etc?? Im a pressure fighter/boxer...meaning Im more of an agressive boxer but I can and do like to fight on the inside sometimes when theyre more slick than I am.

What about you? where do you train / ambition / record / style/ etc?

[RDJ]

I train in the Netherlands, my record is 0-1 (Amateur) thanks to a close loss. Next match is next Saturday so I hope that's 1-1 soon. My ambition is to have at least a few more fights before they force me to quit (I'm a late starter, 33 years old now). Style is boxer, normally very jab happy but that's in sparring so we'll see if I can take that into the actual fight.

Best of luck with that, you certainly put the sparring in so Im sure you'll do fine. Im an exercise physiology student so if you have any questions about training for anything just let me know. Theres a masters division btw so you'll still be able to continue boxing but I bet thered be alot fewer opponents to choose from.

So thhe 30:00 was light with lots of short breaks, defense drills, counters, etc and I coached him and tried to teach him a few things. Tosh wants a really good sparring partner that can kick his ass so Im asking a pro mma fighter thats in my anatomy & resistance training classes to come spar him, hopefully hes got good stand up since Tosh is the best in the gym.

[PugilistStudent]

Yeesh, this log is sad. Ive been out of boxing (again) but Im starting back up today. Reason is I was training for free before, kinda coasting on the fact I helped fix up the gym and shit but I had to open my big mouth to someone with a bigger mouth and POOF no more free training cuz she went and whined. However, I just got my student bursary so Im going back and I'll pay my dues. So heres what I've been doing lately. Figured I may as well include it.

-Heart Rate after the final round was 192ish, my time was 10:27. I was bloated from the pizza I had for "Lunch" (breakfast) and the supper before that so it was pretty bad. My hip flexors, adductors, hamstrings, and glutes are all kinda sore (hip flexors mostly). I was supposed to do 5 rounds but I was so bloated I think I was going to lose some of that pizza I ate earlier if I continued. I'm going for a long walk soon and I'll be doing the following later.

28TH
10PM
Health Test in the lab
-Tested tricep pushups, partial curl ups, back extensions, sit and reach, grip and verticle jump. I got in the highest ranking in everything except the sit and reach and back extension (it wasn't set up right, I could have gotten to excellet pretty easily but I didnt want to push it too hard and not be able to train tomorrow) which was in the fair category, I knew my flexibility wasnt the best anyhow.

TUESDAY

1.5 mile run (12:00)
1 hour basketball
-I had intended on running more but I saw a buddy playing basketball so I joined in, we got a game of kings court going, I won :good . The kings court was some intense cardio by itself. My legs are killing me, my body just isnt used to the abuse anymore.

[PugilistStudent]

WEDNESDAY

10:00 jump rope
5 rounds shadowboxing
3 easy rounds heavybag
1 round heavybag
4 rounds double end bag
3 rounds shadowboxing
2x12 pullups (light sets)
2 rounds holding pads
2x2:00 rounds abs

TODAYS EATS (1 line=1 meal)
Bowl of cereal, 2 caps extreme lean (trying it out cuz I packed on a few lbs since starting college)
2 pork chops, 1 cup sunny D
1 cup cottage cheese, 2 caps extreme lean
G3 sport drink (@ the gym, 30 cals)
1 scoop whey, multi vites
1 good plate of chinese food (yeah its not the best but I didnt want to cook and neither did my woman lol)

[PugilistStudent]

THURSDAY

2 rounds of the step test (in the lab)

1.5 mile run (11:40)
5:00 cool down (3.5mph)

-I did the run right after class, we did the step test in class and I had to stop after 2 rounds because of those friggin fat burners I just started taking. The test is based on heart rate and they raised my resting heart rate 30 higher than it usually is (around 50) and my blood pressure was just a little higher but really it was nothing. Im just going to avoid conditioning next week so I can kind of adjust and keep feeling out these pills but I'll still do this light cardio.

10:00 jump rope
stretching
3 (4:00) hard rounds shadowboxing in the ring
2 rounds heavybag (still light punches but Im mixing in some hard ones)
2 rounds footwork heavy bag
2 rounds double end bag
10:00 jump rope
2 rounds shadowboxing (1 round pure technique, 1 round pure counters)

TODAYS EATS
1 cup sunny D, 2/3 cup of almonds, 2 extreme lean pills (10am)
1 protein shake, 2 extreme lean pills (1PM, right after run)
1 plate chinese food
Protein bar (I was hungry while shopping and wanted something now)
protein shake (after boxing)
1 everything bagel (with butter), 1 apple, 1 orange

FYI for anybody reading this, I wouldn't buy ISOFLEX protein bars. They have a protein called gelatin in them which is 'junk protein' and your body doesnt use it. It was high up on the list too. The label said 21g protein (or something like that) so your really getting probably 15g of useful protein. Its a marketing gimmick Ive recently become aware of that some companies use to jack up the # of grams of protein. Probably because its cheaper than real protein. Just thought someone might be interested

[PugilistStudent]

FRIDAY

Upon waking:
15-1 Pushup ladder (15 pushups, rest 30 seconds, 14, rest, etc)

2:30PM
1.5 mile run on treadmill
40:00 exercise bike

-I'm going to decrease the rest on the pushup ladder by 5 seconds since it wasnt very hard, if its still not hard I'll decrease rest another 5 seconds. The mile and a half run took 11:08, the runs still arent that hard but Im building back up slowly. My heart rate was 174 after :45 of walking (I forgot to check my HR right away). After the run I walked until 15:00 @ 3.5MPH then hopped on the exercise bike. I kept my heart rate up at 160bpm for 25:00 (16.6speed) and after that I started cooling down, my heart rate was 130bpm when I got off the bike. I walked around until my HR was 100. On the bike I was lazy and just used the posted HR zones (160bpm being "high intensity" or 85%MHR and 130bpm or 65MHR being fat burn) but using the karvonen (spelling?) method I was really going at 75% MHR and 55% MHR respectively.

-I did the 1 mile run in 6:32, I could have done better and gone longer but my calves are quite sore today so I didnt want to push it too hard and be too sore for the boxing gym. Once again I stayed at 160-165bpm on the exercise bike but did it for longer since the run was so short.

THURSDAY

1.5 mile run (5:00 cool down)
30:00 exercise bike (10:00 cool down)
-I'm not sure how fast I did the one and a half mile :oops: but it was either just under 10:00 or it was 10:10-10:20....and for some reason I cant get the treadmill to take my heart rate so I dont know what it was after either. I tried to keep my heart rate at 160bpm on the bike but I had to do some fiddling to figure out how fast I had to go because I have to go much faster now. I ended up maintaining a speed of 17.8 on resistance 4. I think I'll start measuring my intensity with rpms and resistance and not speed. I cant make it to boxing tonight because theres a fund raiser for my lil bros school and I bought tickets to the steak dinner, Im looking forward to that. Im getting in another small workout tonight with my girlfriend, Im making a complex for her since she cant do the cardio she wants with her foot being messed up.

FRIDAY

1.5 mile run + 5:00 cool down
20:00 elliptical stepper (not sure what else to call it)
15:00 exercise bike + 10:00 cool down
-I did the 1.5 miles in 9:58 and I still have a good bit in the tank, I think when I wittle it down to 9:00 I'll start running for 12:00 and start increasing the distance covered in that time. 10:00 on the elliptical stepper (its an elliptical and a stair climber combined :-s) @ 170bpm (pushing with my left hand and left leg at the same time & vice versa) and 10:00 @ 160 (elliptical style) then hopped on the bike for 15:00 going at 100rpm with a resistance setting of 5 which kept my heart rate between 160-165bpm followed by the cool down.

Your diet is extremely low in fruits and vegetables. Just saying, there's a lot of room for improvement there.

[PugilistStudent]

Your diet is extremely low in fruits and vegetables. Just saying, there's a lot of room for improvement there.

I wouldnt say EXTREMELY low but yeah theres lots of room for improvement. If you think its low now you should have seen it before, its an improvement though, at least Im sporadically getting what I need some days and getting close to the lower recommended intake others. Im working more in by eating veggies with my eggs and Im trying to have them every supper. Im having issues with fruit because they generally go bad before I eat them since Im rarely home (college) so thats why my only fruit sometimes is the fruit cocktail (canned :-s) but my girlfriends addicted to jugo juice so Im getting fruit that way too and thats around 3 servings of fruit per drink. I was eating dried fruit alot before I started recording but I did some research and found out they add tonnes of sugar so I cut them out, thats kinda what prompted me to start recording my food. I'll be analyzing it hardcore soon after these mid-terms and practicals, I just havent had time yet. Thanks for the input.

MONDAY

6 rounds shadowboxing (everything was closed today)

MONDAYS EATS
3 egg omelet (onions, green peppers, chives, mushrooms, hot sauce)
1000 calories in candy approximately (Im cutting it out tomorrow)
Stir fry (1.5 chicken thighs, 2 cups stir fry veggies, 3tbsp black bean sauce)
1 cup green tea
2 cups milk
--running total--
4-5 meat and alternatives, 4-5 veggies, 2 milk products

EDIT:
I looked up the canadian food guide and I need...
5-12 servings of grains a day (1/2 cup oatmeal=1, nuts count too)
5-10 fruits and veggies (1/2 cup cooked veggies=1)
2-4 milk products
2-3 meat and alternatives

I wonder what green tea counts as...

[RDJ]

Your fruit problem can be solved with a freezer and smoothies. Also, recommendations are for average people doing average stuff, you should aim for at least two times that amount.

[PugilistStudent]

Your fruit problem can be solved with a freezer and smoothies. Also, recommendations are for average people doing average stuff, you should aim for at least two times that amount.

I'll keep that in mind thanks, but if I tried to eat two times that amount I'd really have to choke it down and I think itd be no fun at all unless I had sneaky ways of creeping them in. I decided on the smoothies today just before I logged on, I'll mix 1 or 2 servings of fruit into my protein shakes along with my new plan I whipped up last night so Im close to the veggies and fruit amount you suggested. I will of course be changing it slightly as I see holes, Im new to the whole really watching what I eat, I always ate pretty healthy just never closely scrutinized it.

TUESDAY

1.5 miles on treadmill (5:00 cool down)
15:00 on exercise bike (10:00 cool down)
-I did the 1.5 miles in 9:20 and I can still definately go faster but slow and steady (although Im really advancing that slow lol). On the bike I did resistance lv 5 at 100rpm for about 75% of the time, the rest of the time it was lv 4. This kept my HR at about 165bpm. I wanted the climber/elliptical thing today but it was being used.

10:00 jump rope (hard)
6x4:00 shadowboxing
1 untimed round doing counter drills
2x4:00 sparring (no break so it was a 9:00 round...ugh)

2x4:00 heavybag
1x3:00 heavybag (jabs only while stepping left or right...300)
-I had to wait forever to spar but it was good, except Im not sure what I was thinking. This dudes like the jolly green mma bodybuilder giant...at least 220-240 and ripped with arms as thick as my legs, I wish I where exaggerating. So I got hit with some damn nasty shots one of them really shook me and made my eyes water. The 1(while stepping up/left)-3 is still catching people and I did a little work with the jab znd a couple rights to the body. didnt do much but it was good.

TODAYS EATS

FOOD STUFF
So I came up with 2 days worth of meals that meet the canadian food guides criteria with foods that I like and generally do eat (I just have them paired up in a more favorable way), heres the end daily servings:

day A: Meat 3, Dairy 3, Fruits & Veg 8, Grain 6
day B: Meat 4, Dairy 3, Fruits & Veg 9, Grain 6

I'm going to talk to a buddy of mine that always mixes his protein shakes with fruit and stuff for some good recipes that I can incorparate to get my Fruits & Veg to at least 12 servings a day. I may also throw in a pre-boxing or after dinner snack (depends on the day) that incorporates fruits and veg to bump that up even more. I am so going to feel like a rabbit I think.

[RDJ]

I'll keep that in mind thanks, but if I tried to eat two times that amount I'd really have to choke it down and I think itd be no fun at all unless I had sneaky ways of creeping them in. I decided on the smoothies today just before I logged on, I'll mix 1 or 2 servings of fruit into my protein shakes along with my new plan I whipped up last night so Im close to the veggies and fruit amount you suggested. I will of course be changing it slightly as I see holes, Im new to the whole really watching what I eat, I always ate pretty healthy just never closely scrutinized it.

Smoothies and veggie soup are the easiest way to fix it, once you get used to it, it's not much of an effort.

1:00 Slow rowing (recovery)
x 5 (5:00 cool down)

-I covered 2800 meters on the rower. On the bike I did 100-110rpm on lv5 the whole time and my HR was at about 165bpm the whole time. I couldnt do my usual run today because the cardio class was in there and only the rower wasnt being used lol. Oh well its good to switch it up.

[PugilistStudent]

THURSDAY

1.5 mile run (5:00 cool down)
10:00 ellitical stepper thingy (no cool down)
-I ran the 1.5 in 8:49 this time, its a bit more of a jump than I wanted but thats ok. After that I went on the "thingy" and did 10:00, the heartbeat monitor was screwed up and was totally giving me the wrong readings and I know it someone mustve had a heart rate monitor on somewhere. I just didnt feel like doing cardio today either, I think my quads are getting overworked a bit maybe and thats why they're just kind of fatigued. Or not enough carbs this morning. Or Im just tired of the same kind of cardio I've been doing. Or its the intervals yesterday. Im just not sure but next time I'll have some toast with my eggs too. I think its safe to start doing various kinds of conditioning now, I dont think these pills will cause anything bad to happen. I'll start mixing it up next week. Boxing later.

WHATS Vector dude?

those sandwiches look nice

Its a cereal. Its like a supplement in a way, its completely loaded with extra vitamins, I swear its got something like half the vitamins you need in a day just in 1 bowl with more protein than any other cereal Ive seen, plus it tastes good.

The sandwiches are awesome :thumbsup

MONDAY

1.75 mile on treadmilll (5:00 cool down)
18:00 on elliptical (14:00 cool down on bike)
-I thought Id increase the distance from now on and move my starting time back to 12:00 and start working that back again in increments like before. It took 12:00 for the 1.75 mile run. On the elliptical I did it on resistance 10 at 80-85rpm this brought my heart rate to about 165 most of the time but by the end it was 178 I think, I cant be certain though.

tch, a poor ol college student like me living off 50 bucks a week can afford performance enhancing drugs and growth hormone infused cereal? I wish, then I really would be a meat eating (super/mutant) rabbit that punches his opponents into submission lol just kidding.

Theyre like corn flakes but thicker with granola chunks in it, they taste kinda cinnamony actually. Its good stuff but expensive in comparison to other cereals and after eating it for too long it starts tasting like cardboard :verysad.

TUESDAY

1.75 mile run (5:00 cool down)
18:00 on exercise bike (10:00 cool down)
Rested for a bit then...

1x3x313 deadlifts, double overhand grip (took it easy, I'd normally do 5)
1x5x205 bench press (needed help on the last one, I thought I had 195lbs lol)
1x3x70 weighted pullups (gotta drop a bit of weight)
1x2x495 Leg Press (normally 5-8 isnt that bad but 2 today was a stretch, probably because of the cardio before)
1x5x130 seated machine overhead press (need to increase the weight)

-Did the 1.75 in 11:23 (9.3mph), it would have been quite easy but that stupid bar I ate earlier was giving me cramps (I normally dont eat for several hours before cardio to avoid that). I did lv5 at 100rpm on the bike the whole time, my HR was between 160-168 the whole time, its getting easier. I kinda did my exercises out of the ideal order but I was mostly just testing what Im still capable of. I need to work on my deadlift form a bit, angle my elbows on the bench downward more, drop a few lbs for the weighted pullups, do leg press sooner and do a warm up set, start doing seated dumbell presses soon instead of on the machine. I think my gym got rid of the calf raise machine so I may have to do them on the leg press or with dumbells.

10:00 jump rope
10:00 shadowboxing
Pushup routine (see below) x3
pullup routine (see below) x3
15:00 shadowboxing (jab only pretty much)

PUSHUP ROUTINE
5 one arm lockoffs on med ball (each arm)
5 power overs (each side)
5 tricep pushups hand on med ball
5 pop ups
-Just brutal all around.

PULLUP ROUTINE
2 pullups
2 commando pullups (each side)
2 chinups
2 around the worlds (each side)
-The around the worlds turned into typewriter pullups in the third round, I think I'll switch commandos with around the worlds.

TODAYS EATS
2 egg omelett (lots of green peppers and onions), 1 toast, 2 cups juice, 2 fish oil, 1 multi vite
1 slim fast bar (my girlfriends, I needed to grab a snack since I didnt have time to run home to mix a shake)

WEDNESDAY

1.75 mile run (5:00 cool down)
5:00 exercise bike
-Did the 1.75 miles in 11:09, wasnt too bad (9.4mph with bursts of 10mph). I skipped the exercise bike today because Im doing conditioning at the gym tonight, plus I walked for about 3 hours today straight.

10:00 jump rope
3 rounds technical sparring
3 rounds conditioning (see below)
2 rounds punch out drill (30 seconds punch out, 30 seconds rest [partner goes] for a full round)
3 rounds abs (see below)
-I ran a conditioning class today for some guys on the local hockey team, some of em had to lie down lol. Did the same with abs. Didnt get much done today but at least I got some "sparring" in, one guy was experienced and the other guy was new and fought southpaw so needless to say it was pretty damn awkward lol.

CONDITIONING ROUTINE
30 seconds burpees, 30 seconds high knee dumbell presses, 30 second lateral jumps over medicine ball, 30 seconds burpees, 30 seconds high knee dumbell presses, 30 seconds lateral jumps, 1:00 rest, 3 rounds only.

ABDOMINAL ROUTINE
30 seconds crunches, 30 seconds sit ups, 30 seconds knee hugs, 30 seconds chinnies, 30 seconds side jack knifes, 30 seconds side jack knifes other side, 1:00 rest, 3 rounds. Not overly hard but still a pretty good routine, I had to tone it down from the one I wanted to do because some couldnt do v-ups.

TODAYS EATS
3 egg omelet (green peppers, onions, oregano), 2 pieces of whole wheat toast, 1 cup juice, 1 V8, 2 fish oil, 1 multi vite

THURSDAY

1.75 mile run (5:00 cool down)
10:00 exercise bike
-Did the 1.75 miles in 10:58, average speed was 9.5 with a few short bursts of 10-10.5mph. Im glad Ive got a back off week coming up I need it lol. Im just worn out and keep finding excuses to cut my cardio short. I forced myself to go on the bike for the 10:00 I was stretching after the run and contemplating leaving but I got off my ass to do the 10:00, it was at varying intensities but about 5:00 was at the usual speed. During conditioning yesterday I realize Ive got to do more circuits like I used to do, its just a different kind of fatigue that I need to build up a resistance to. I'll work on it after this back off week. Im also lean enough now so I can drop some of these longer cardio days in place of real conditioning, Im still not at fighting weight but Im really lean again, I didnt have much to drop anyways though. Im not sure what I weigh now because the scale is broken but Im guessing 168-167. Boxing later.

10:00 jump rope
??? shadowboxing (see description)
4 rounds heavybag (all rounds where intense, last round was just hard hooks)
2 rounds footwork bag
4 rounds double end bag (kinda half assed)
2 rounds speed bag
-During my shadowboxing I was asked to show the hockey players proper punching technique so I showed them the stance, jab and cross. Probably spent about 10-20 minutes with them until they where doing good (fast learners) then I put them through the magic 50 which one of them liked, the others didnt...pussies lol. Anyways Id say I got around 15 minutes of shadowboxing or so. I guess Im now officially their coach which is good since theres an odd number of them I can work myself into some of the drills and get some more quality work in so theyre not a drain on my training. Its good that Im getting coaching experience though so its a trade off Im willing to make, it just means I have to stay a bit longer at the gym to get everything in, no biggie, and it might pay off.

FRIDAY

I found out a couple days ago that the guy I sparred a few weeks ago was in king of the cage. I knew he was in it but it didnt click that it was a PPV thing or even pro, for a while I just thought it was a fancy AM thing. But no it was pro and on TV, I saw the poster up in the gym yesterday. Go raphael.

I also bought bruce lees "expression of the human body" and started reading it today, halfway done already. Its been a good reminder of things Im neglecting so Im going to be incorporating some of these things.

TUESDAY morning

1.75 mile run
5 rounds shadowboxing in the pool (nobody else was there :D)
10:00 of swim intervals

-I took 10:03 to do my 1.75 mile run today so that week of rest really did me some good. The shadowboxing I did with my arms underwater and a few times each round Id take a deep breath, go underwater and throw 2 or 3 five punch combos (still exhaling a bit with each punch) I find that hooks get the most resistance. With the intervals Id swim the length of the pool (its a small hotel pool) twice with either the front stroke or the back stroke (Id alternate) then rest for :30 and keep going. Pool intervals are really effective, Im definately going to continue with these for a while (my quads will hate me for it though). Afterwards I stretched in the hot tub for 10:00. My (anterior) shoulders are a bit fatigued/sore from yesterday.

MONDAY morning
3 rounds shadowboxing
iso-dynamic punches (jab & cross)x5
10 rounds sparring
-my arm has tonnes of scratch marks and bruising down it from coming over punches and countering with my left, Im starting to not like velcro on gloves for that reason. I was pretty much untouched during sparring but I really have to work on landing my right, I can land anything with my left all day long but my right is pretty much only for defense right now. Next time I'll do a few rounds with just my right and I'll work on it alot while shadowboxing. with the time change today I was tired even before I started sparring so Im going to do the conditioning tonight.

I'll make an appearance at the boxing gym on thursday I think. I hate gyms, too many people all trying to use the same equipment, and if they cant get the equipment they want then its too much bitching.

-The 1.75 mile run took 9:37 with only one 10 second break. On the bike I stayed at 70-75% HRR. Im making great improvements with my conditioning overall, Im loving it. I think a large part of it is my diet and I noticed an improvement when I started taking 2 multi vitamins each day with the fish oil. Plus Im really pushing hard and people are starting to notice.

-I didnt do any bag work today to take it easy on my hand. That didnt work because I found either the cause (which I doubt it is because Ive done them before without any issues) or just a way to aggravate it, after the second set of power overs the ache in the bones of my hand came back. This is just weird. Anyways, next week I increase the sets on the grip training by 1 and same goes for the wrist extensions/curls. Im going to have to improvise if I want to do wrist rotations.

-More failed conditioning, looked good on paper but my grip just didnt want to let me finish a full round without having to put down the dumbbell. Im going to stick with ross's stuff for conditioning and the ones Ive made, I think I can edit this one though so itd be a great conditioning routine. However this would be a good one to do after a weight workout for a few rounds. I'll add it in two weeks to my regime after lifting weights maybe.

-Kind of a messed up night because I ended up talking alot at the gym because theres alot going on with raphael taking over the gym and junk. Concerning the sparring I was watching for a while and waiting for my turn to jump in the ring, I thought we where just doing technical sparring (very light punches, working on defense mostly) because thats what he was doing with everybody else (everybody else though was either a girl or new). So when I jumped in he opened up, hes a light puncher so I was confused if we where actually sparring lol he still might have been holding back some power though. It wasnt until the end of the round that I started to actually spar and then I mentioned I thought we were just technical sparring and he just wanted to do that (I wanted to spar regular but I wanted to know for sure that we where) after I mentioned that he just wanted to "technical spar", I was okay with that (technical sparring) seeing as how I wanted to work on landing my right and hes really good defensively so it was good practice. I wanted to go at least 1 more round actually sparring but by then he was tired so we called it off. FMI (for my information) dont do fucking power overs anymore, whatever is wrong with my hand is agitated by the power overs.

TUESDAY morning
3 rounds shadowboxing
5 rounds sparring
-Wouldve had more sparring but I broke my sparring partner. I caught him coming in with a straight right on the chin and he was saying that his jaw hurt too much to continue. I knocked him down too with a straight right to the body, it sounds like we where going hard but not really, only about 70% power. The good news is that Im using my right alot more effectively and Ive worked out my problem with the straight right. I still dont like the right hook except to the body but now Im looking at my uppercuts and being more effective with them, I was already starting to work on that today but nothing too interesting to report on that front. I think I got hit maybe 10 times in the 5 rounds but Im not sure, its not like I count them. Ive kind of learned how to be a dick lol once (because its happened to me and I just wanted to see what I could do with it) when his hand was in front of his eyes and it looked like his thumb was lined up with his eyeball Id hit his hands to push his thumb into his eye, an interesting strategy but I wont do it much cuz its kind of a dick thing to do, I just wanted to know I could do it.

TUESDAY evening
10 rounds shadowboxing

ran to the gym from a soccer game
shoulder pre-hab
4 rounds heavybag (1 round was jab only)
5 rounds double end bag
4x30 second punch out drills (3lb)
4x30 second uppercut drill (5lbs)
3 plate pinches each hand
3 one handed hangs each hand
3x30 second fingertip pushup supports (forgot to make them longer but I think I might take them out)
-I only had an hour to train after watching the soccer game so I was going all out on the run there which was probably 1.5 miles, this was my warm up. The shadowboxing I did at home before the soccer game. On the heavybag I was going all out, full power and a huge punch rate, afterwards my left hand hurt a bit. I think the shoulder prehab should only be done 3 times a week maybe. After this easy week its back to doing my morning workouts, last week I only got 2 real conditioning workouts because of being sick but Im not counting that as rest because I WAS sick so its not really rest for my body since its gotta fight that shit off.

8 one finger pushups (just proving I can do them)
Various one handed pushup types (divebombers, standard, one arm 1 leg)
2 rounds counter drills (counter jab and straight right singularly)
1 round "sparring"
-Lost my gloves today, someone must have picked them up by accident or stolen them problem is if they where stolen Im not sure who would have took them because I was training and talking with buddies and not paying attention to who left and when. Hopefully someone just took them by accident and I'll find them tomorrow, otherwise I have to use the gyms gloves. Sparring was ok today, I was a little off my game though. My partner just had nose surgery for a deviated septum but I guess its fine now. We agreed to 50% power because of his nose and of course he went harder. So I kept going light but went hard only on body shots after 2 rounds, which I landed alot of. The last round I went 70-80% since he wasnt going light and if he doesnt want to go light like we agreed then its his problem not mine if something goes wrong with the healing of his nose. Im not letting a guy that outweighs me by 30-40lbs just swing at my hard without getting mine in. So last round I only popped him in the nose a few times but with about 70-80% power. He got me with a good right that I moved into that got me a bit wobbly but I fought through it in the second round. During the 1 round of "sparring" it was just me and a new guy to sparring, I let him throw punches at me while I just worked on counters without hitting him, would have got more in but the gym was closing.

-The defensive sparring was buddy really rushing at me, I could only fight back with body shots though since his jaw was sore again but it was good practice on my left hook and dealing with pressure which I need to work on. Im very relaxed sparring now except for during flurries coming my way, I tend to hold my breath which I've been working on. My time on the conditioning was 8:54, if there was heavier db's Id use them. This is the best my conditioning has ever been :D

WEDNESDAY morning
2 mile run (5:00 cool down)
20:00 exercise bike (10:00 cool down)
-I did the 2 miles in 11:24 so really it was more like 11:10 since it takes about 15 seconds for the treadmill to get up to speed. On the exercise bike I went at 70-75% HRR and my average speed had to be 18.9 to get my heart rate up to 70% so thats a slight improvement over before. Im going to max out on these two miles but it seems like Im going to need to change my routine from this because gains are slowing a fair bit. I may start to do intervals with an incline.

-The sparring went great but I have to work on varying my attack more. The defensive sparring was just me letting the new guy take swings at me while I defended and I worked in some counters (just touched him or stopped the punch right before his face). My patellar tendon is sore...hope it goes away. I think it may be from the extra run yesterday.

MONDAY morning
1.5 miles (5:00 cool down)
10:00 exercise bike (no cool down)
-Im taking it a little easier on the legs still but not much so I was on the bike less, I think I will start to continue running after the main high intensity run but at a lower intensity so I can build more endurance for my running so I can keep the times dipping down. Did the 1.5 miles in 7:50 which is 8 seconds faster than my personal best before, however I did put my feet on the sides a few times when I was changing the pace. I ran a half mile at 12.5 miles an hour (4:48 mile pace) because thats the fastest it will go lol.

-That was a failure of a conditioning workout, I couldnt keep do the pullups with that little rest and after 10 and 9 I was doing them in sets of 3 or so until I got up to the number and I'd catch my breath...I replaced 6 and 7 (pullups) with 2 just so I could get going at a decent pace again.

Im taking some time off, Im just not feeling it lately I think with the low motivation and the funny little pains in the knees and elbows I may be overtraining (:lol: ya think?). So Im taking a break until after finals, Im still going to maintain my fitness by doing the same ol stuff 3-4 times a week but no boxing. I may start with some basic gymnastics stuff just cuz I like it but thats it. Dont expect to see me here for a few days. Peace.

TUESDAY

1.5 mile run (12:00)
1 hour basketball
-I had intended on running more but I saw a buddy playing basketball so I joined in, we got a game of kings court going, I won :good . The kings court was some intense cardio by itself. My legs are killing me, my body just isnt used to the abuse anymore.

If it's only a 1.5 mile run then why not do it best effort? I use to be able to complete 1.5 mile runs in under 9 minutes best effort, even though I'd be blowing at the attempt.

Honestly, running is by far the best way to go when it comes to pure fitness. I use to be a runner, and there is not a better way to get fit than to run your lungs out!

Thanks man, I'll be starting my log again in a few days. Im finished finals now but I started a job at a lumberyard so when my knees and feet get used to walking on cement 10 hours a day I'll be back at it, it'll be soon. Im waking up at 5am now though...It'll be a bitch to get enough sleep and get a morning workout in before work...

A 10x10 drill is pretty simple, throw a 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 (10 punches) combo as fast and hard as you can then duck/weave/sidestep quickly and throw another 10 punch combo immediately (10x10 punch combos). Simple and specific I quite like it.

-The gym owner told me I was looking really sharp today and it was a joy to watch me lol. Strange cuz I felt awkward with the new...fixed...footwork I was working on, it was likely just encouragement. It seems like I never spar when hes around and he was saying its a good thing Im not like everyone else and just jump in the ring and try to wing it, that its good Im getting the fundamentals down and smooth....I wanted to mention my sparring but...probably not a good idea as I have to get my physical again for this year and Im not supposed to be sparring lol (I know I'll pass but thats not the point). I think he's seen me spar once lol.

-Ive decided I need to start training my handspeed. My speeds good but I want my speed to be a bit intimidating. Im going to start doing ross enamaits punching with power routine as well, it includes handspeed training. I have to change it a bit though because of my access to certain things on certain days. So...

Wednesdays weight training on tuesday
Fridays handspeed and plyometrics on thursday

....and thats all I have to change. I know I'll probably be too sore to complete the first week without missing some training so I'll just keep repeating the first week until i can get through it without it hindering anything.

did well in sparring today, had alot of fun with feints and countering. a little reckless when Ive got someone cornered but I learned something new today that I'll have to try next time when I get em cornered (following the jab in with a solid guard and an overhead right so I can really get close and do business).

How do you use the maize bag?

Do you have somebody stand on the other side and lightly tap it for you or do you just move it by yourself?

I find that having somebody stand on the other side and tap it helps me out a lot more than just moving it myself. I rarely have anybody to help me out though so I usually am forced to use it alone. I'm always looking for different variations of using the maize bag so that's why I was curious how you use it.

I just let er swing man. Ive never thought of having someone tap it. Sorry, not much help here. Its funny that you mentioned that though cuz today I forgot to do the maize bag cuz I got sidetracked.

Oh well, it's all good. But yeah like I said having somebody stand on the otherside and tap it will help you out a lot (at least it did for me). I would try it out at least once to see if it works for you.

pulled my bicep or something, I think I did it yesterday maybe during sparring...im not sure but I left the gym early. no boxing tomorrow since Im busy.

[PugilistStudent]

Ahh shit. When I felx my arm the bicep looks a little fucked up and weird...maybe I tore it a bit? I figured itd be more painful if I did that and theres no bruising but it still looks weird, hopefully its a cramp or something (it is quite tight right now) thats making it look fucked.

-Did some shadowboxing with a different coach working on a few things, he used to come to the gym but left now hes back and the other coach wasnt there today. Hes trying to get me to box taller and fully extend my right more...always an issue with me :-(. Sparred with a buddy whos quite new so I went easy, tried to show him a few things.

TUESDAY

stayed home to nurse myself back to health, curled up with a bottle of buckleys and a pot of coffee. Coffee just makes me feel better...

WEDNESDAY

5:00 jump rope
stretching
25:00 shadowboxing
5:00 maize bag
1 round heavybag
lifted weights for shits n giggles
3 rounds abs (ab roller-decline russian twists)
20:00 partner drills

I got up to 150lbs for a single for a clean+overhead press (I say that instead of clean and press because I didnt use momentum) and benched 225 for a single, maybe could have gotten 235. Not too shabby since I havent lifted weights for a loooong time and I sure wasnt expecting a 150lb overhead press when I only weigh 165 and Im not even super ripped right now. That and I only got 3 hours sleep last night and thats why the rest of my training was devoid of intensity today. The partner drills were done with a buddy at the gym whos 6'3" cuz I need to work on fighting taller guys I think, if theyre the same height or shorter Id "out point" the fighters with a few fights (I have none) but taller guys that play the same game I do have trouble with. But doing the drills its really just a matter of doing the things I used to practice that Ive let fall by the wayside....long post today.

Oh and I really need to get my ass conditioning this is getting rediculous.

[PugilistStudent]

TUESDAY

10:00 jump rope
stretching
10:00 shadowboxing
4 rounds heavybag
3 rounds on the....er....postbag?
3-2-1 135lb clean and press

Wow no ambition lately to train. Anyhow, the "post bag" is a gym mat wrapped around one of the metal support posts in the gym with some really stiff foam underneath it. Sounds stupid but its actually well done Im pretty impressed. Hurt my right elbow again by overextending, been doing that alot since I pulled my bicep...

[PugilistStudent]

MONDAY

3 rounds jump rope
stretching
3 or 4 rounds shadowboxing
3 rounds heavybag
2 rounds sparring
3 rounds working head movement with a new boxer (defense only)
2 rounds of:
10 high pulls
10 hang cleans
10 overhead presses
10 squats
10 walking lunges
10 stiff legged deadlift
10 burpees

stretching

The jump rope was intense, mostly double unders and I tried double under crossovers (or whatever theyre called) and I can pull em off not too badly. Sparring went well, I worked on slipping the 1-2's and landing body shots, landed a few other combos I wanted to work on, got caught with 2 nice straight rights that got me on the button so my jaws a tad sore but its all good. The conditioning was good, I havent done this one for a while, did it with a few guys from the gym and they like it, 1 quit after 1 round, I stopped at 2 because I have to work tomorrow and I know Ill be sore and the other guy went on to do 3, he finished last each time but he kept truckin. Yeah so, a good day Id say.

[PugilistStudent]

THURSDAY

3 rounds jump rope
stretching
4 rounds shadowboxing
3 rounds heavybag
2 rounds of:
12 V-ups
12 Knee hugs
24 chinnies

Jump rope was intense again, lots of double unders. While hitting the heavybag the I hook broke and the bag fell but I was in the middle of a 1-2 and my second punch was already coming, hurt my damn elbow again for like the 6th time since I pulled my bicep, fucking pissing me off, Im buying one of those elbow supports because I think when I pulled my bicep before I must have stretched something and its looser now and thats why it gets aggravated so easily. I finished the rounds with my left hand only. I think thats how Ill have to train for the next few weeks and see if that helps.

[PugilistStudent]

Well Im back. Just a quick update to bump my log up to the top of the list so its easier to find later. Im not sure if this is the log I fucked my knee up in but its still a bit fucked (habitual log jumper here!). Ive moved to yellowknife and have allowed myself to rust up so if theres anybody here in yellowknife that wants to spar drop a reply, Id even get back to yoy today. Theres no boxing gym here so Im thinking of kickboxing but my flexibility in ny legs is shit. Im going to the kickboxing gym monday, I need sparring. I have worked on hand speed a bit and I have sped up for sure. Looking forward to real training again. I'll drop another update when Ive actually done something ha ha.
