pad work- how often?

We have a crowded gym, so not very often with the trainer. We do get paired up to punch each others gloves often, it's like a cheaper version of pad work.

 

Same here, except when the people who come in for the "classes" we don't do much of anything except for stations -.-

 

Pad work is second only to sparring in terms of importance IMO/

 

Seconded,pad work is very important,builds sharpness.The more I did the sharper I became.

 

I only hit the pads when I have a fight coming up, and even then it'll be about twice a week.

 

Rarely do padwork nowadays. done more sparring which for me is better in a way cos its better experience in a way.

 

Same here, usually two people alternate on the pads.

 

pads everyday:yep

 

we dont do alot of padwork at our gym we used to do heaps but i spoke to a pro trainer and hes really high on the stuff and got me doing Mayweather pads which he says im made for

 

jeez im surprised at this. we usually do it twice a week and extra pad work with the coaches for those in the build up to fights.

 

I use pads everyday with my best fighters who has fight´s coming up. Pads are good but I think teqniqual training like offensive or defensive practice man to man is even more important if you do them in a high good pace.
Sharpness, yes you get very sharp of doing pads.
