Any of you guys do Cardio with a gas mask? I do alot of sprinting & roadwork. Doesn't seem to really help my ring cardio though, I just get better at running. Gasmask seems like a good option.
What??? Your ring stamina will improve by sparring, nothing else. It depends for a large part on being relaxed and remembering to breath.
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
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.
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.
what you dont train in a gas mask? whats wrong with you? you dont look like a normal runner without a gas mask
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 :|
