Gasmask Training

What???

Your ring stamina will improve by sparring, nothing else. It depends for a large part on being relaxed and remembering to breath.

 

no running helps. Sparring helps a Shitload but running helps your wind a lot and is very necessary.

 

Agreed , i would say im pretty fit, usually run 4 -6 miles each day. But iv been told my biggest thing i need to work on is relaxing in the ring and breathing. I did 2 rounds in a row the other day for the first time and i was goosed! And yet i know im more than fit enough to do it if you know what i mean. Just need to relax and breathe

 

You're not fit enough. You're aerobically fit in an anaerobic sport. Different type of fitness.

 

I've seen Wandy Silva use a snorkel, that **** didn't look healthy! Still hardcore though.

Running, rowing, skipping, swimming do help in the ring, the best hting is actual sparring though. it has to be the hardest thing to replicate in training.

Even the heavy bag workouts, we were doing really good 40 minute circuits mostly on the bags. THen when sparring came around it is a differant ball park for fitness. Theres nothing like fighting.

 

Exactly. High altitude training would be another option. :good

 

yeh sometimes i just pick up that gas mask i have lying around my house and go for a run

 

While I don't care that much whether people frown at me or not, a gas mask is something I would not wear outside. Hell I make sure I'm alone before I even shadowbox.

 

I agree its abit far now there are easier ways to train seems a little ridiculous to me:huh

 

what you dont train in a gas mask? whats wrong with you?

you dont look like a normal runner without a gas mask

 

I do altitude training despite living below sea level. I just wear a mile long snorkel.

Coach got me to put on 20oz gloves and work hard on bags when I didn't have a partner to spar with. I think that worked too. But I did about 8 rounds (3 mins each)

 

Let me get this straight. To prepare you for punching three minutes in a row, he let you punch a heavy bag three minutes in a row? How can that possibly work? :blood

I miss the old days when we constantly fought over sports specific training vs. weights :|
