Anything from days, to weeks, to months just feeling like complete ****. I've had it for a month and I can't get anything done in the gym.. My power is almost completely gone, I'm so much slower, sloppier, getting hit so much more in sparring and hitting others so much less. On top of that I fatigue much faster. I feel like I am legitimately getting worse which I don't know was even possible with training everyday. Has this happened to you guys? If so what did you do to overcome it? Take a break? Push through it? Different routine? Thanks.
take a break dude chill out eat some pizza have some ice cream I don't mean get lazy and fat I mean stop beating yourself up and give yourself a break have two, three, five days off go swimming or walking to keep active ( active rest ) then start planning your diet and routine for when you get back training
Lower your intensity, but don't stop. Change things up a bit. Do the spin bike, bodyweight exercises, something to help you with mentally feeling "stale."
Make sure you're eating right, and getting all the nutrition you need. If not start supplementing. Take a day off here and there, at least once a week, and focus on being strict, getting everything into your punches, and not getting sloppy.
You're probably overtraining. I would consider taking some time off, maybe a week to rejuvenate. Stretch during that time period or do an activity like Yoga. Then focus on strength training, and get away from the boxing ring for a while. You don't need weights. Just use bodyweight. You can get incredibly strong using your own body, but you have to do the research to find out what to do and how to do it. Let me know if you need any advice. I'm also a proponent of kettlebells (for now), but I keep it simple. I don't use anyting more than Turkish Get Ups and Swings. For boxing, I don't believe you need anything else. I would approach bodyweight training just as you would for weight training. Develop a program initially based on hypertrophy, then strength, and then power. In other words, initially, do less sets and more reps to tire out your muscles, and as you progress, more sets and less reps to train your nervous system. You can add in some pylometrics and sprint training and increase the weight of the kettlebell for swings as you progress in your program. Just be careful not to overtrain. Once you get to a certain level where you feel comfortable, reduce the amount of strength training to 3 times per week and concentrate on boxing.
This is garbage advice and reeks of someone who doesn't know what they are talking about DO NOT FOLLOW THIS **** ADVICE Dude doesn't realise hes talking **** either :rofl Bless em' Peice, educate yourself, pink kettleballs are not the answer to everything :deal You probably one of them skinny mother****ers who think they are strong because you like to do dance classes with pink kettleballs, them classes are for bitches, so they are good for a ***** like you :hi:
I know you're just trolling, but I'm speaking from experience. I used to win and place top 5 in weightlifting competitons PfP and overall. I know, you're young, so you think that's the way, but as you get older, you realize it's not. It's hard to break that mentality, but once you start training more advanced calisthenics, and you realize you can develop both mass and strength, plus have better control over your body and make your body feel fresh and young all the time, you realize weights are mostly bull****. You don't need them. Especially for boxing. Now, if you were playing in the NFL, then sure, absolutely use weights, but the NFL uses people like thoroughbreds. They use them up and spit them out. Boxing is a different sport. Hopkins proves over and over and over again that he can punch and he can box deep into old age despite not training heavy weights. You need to learn to have more control over your body. The problem is it's much more work than hoisting up weights. It requires a lot of concentration and determination to master your bodyweight. You have to learn to use tension and bracing instead of mindlessly adding weights. And I was always skeptical of kettlebells until I started using them and reading more of the science behind it. Kettlebells swings in particular are a great conditioning tool, and they develop power in the hips. It is an excellent tool for boxing. And I know you wanna talk **** about me, but I know you couldn't do what I could do, and you defenitely can't do what I can do now. So why even talk shlt? If people follow your advice, they will be worse off. You'll find out soon enough unless you change your mentality.
You are probably overreaching imho. Take a break. Rest your body and your mind through the activities you enjoy. If you continue like this its likely that you will injure yourself and start to hate boxing. After some time you will get "hungry" again and then return to boxing slowly. Sort your diet and your recovery properly. Best of luck to you brotha.
