I heard Freddie Roach on one of his tapes say they use a 2 day on 1 day off workout schedule. but this is the only other time I've heard it applied to boxing. does anyone else use a 2 day on 1 day off schedule here?
man theres no way you could know all of these guys routines , i could start a thread make up a whole bag of **** about somebodys routine you wouldnt no the diffrerence , you should post the source at least !!!!!!
Listen- the whole point with the training is that it is progressive. You can't do the same thing every week- so this is only a snap shot -more interesting would be the rate at which the programs are periodized.
Unless I see an un-edited video I'm still calling bull****. The last sprint in 13.5 seconds? My fastest 100m sprint when fresh, is about 11-12 seconds. He supposedly ran 13.5 seconds after 99 sprints? Bull****.
I'm with you, I don't believe it for a second. 30 seconds is not long enough to recover to be running that fast after that many sprints.
Exactly :thumbsup It would be far more interesting to me to find out what the top guys do when they are not in their training camp to maintain and how they build up their fitness. I think alot of people think that if you do the boxers routine you'll become as fit and as good as that boxer. Everybody is coming from a different place with different skills and different training intensities.
Lefty, if you search the interwebz- a guy who trained Reggie Johnson posted his full program including how he progressed it on a forum. Can't find it now but if you put some time into looking you'll prob dig it up. It was very in depth with weights and heart rate recorded throughout. Perhaps a little too perfect for me- there's no substiute for hard work but still a good read. Johnson lost the fight I believe and the guy never posted again- try find it. :good
Am I the only one that just trains and doesn't give a damn about heart rate? I keep seeing the "target heart rate" thing, just train for ****s sake.
If you're trying to achieve something in particular it is important, also helpful to see how quickly you're recovering and so on. If you just want some general fitness then yeah you just get out and do it without thinking about it but if you have specific goals you need to be training at the right intensity and if you want to monitor progress knowing your heart rate is very helpful.
Yeah, I believe in it completely. I think it is very beneficial. I found it motivating to watch my heart rate recover from low 170s to 135 in one minute after spending 6-8 weeks training for certain cardiovascular adaptations. It took over 2 minutes for it to drop in the 130s when I started. I think knowing you anaerobic threshold is very important as well. However, a HR monitor is not necessary to be an aerobic monster, but I think preferred.
They also put the last 20 sprints down to 15 seconds recovery. I don't think it's humanly possible to do what they're claiming.
