Its all good man.. Just did not like the mom comment and would still like an apology for it. You did look pretty impressive in that video. I will give you that... You seem like a hard worker, dedicated, etc. I love to fight and played serious ball when I was younger. We have **** in common. I will apologise for being a dick last night. I should not have laughed about Norwegian football, just shocked me. That being said I am still bigger and stronger than you, possibly faster as well. :rofl Anyway it is a new day. Squash it?
Its all good man. Just got snappy over bicep curls. . Then dude brings my ma into it. Hard to brush that off you know? Ya Ingar looked good in his training video. Ya I would still fight him though. He may even win.. I don't give a **** though when it comes to mom. Im over it now. So I will not be trying to own anyone and even will apologise for dissing Norwegian football... :yep
Ingar, did doing those plyometrics like long jumps, depth jumps, etc. have noticeable effects on your boxing game? Was it better than weights or different? Just wondering b/c I do some plyos but mainly squat thrusts, knee tucks, and claps.
Well, it's all part of a whole, eh? It doesn't have the exact same effect as anything in particular, but it is closer to weight training and sprinting than anything. It's mostly for improved neural firing speed and/or anaerobic endurance. As far as my boxing goes, my main attributes was always in my speed and power (which is what plyometrics are for), so I guess you could say it helped since I was doing this type of training long before I started boxing. Then again, my stamina isn't as good as one should've thought from all the training I do, I burn out quickly. But that's got more to do with my genetics again, as does my main strengths. Lots of fast-twitch (Type IIB) muscle fibers. People with these types of genetics react better and faster to this type of training, and slow-twitch (Type I) types react better to endurance training. Rocky Marciano comes to mind as the slow-twitch example, Mike Tyson is whom I would regard as the most "fast-twitch" in the boxing world.
You are right. I couldn't stay in a single discipline for too long when I realised that not only are you fighting the opponent, but you have some twit who's learned to play the system, and eventually you end up fighting *that* too. If you could do what you're really capable of, the guy would be dead. I think every discipline has 'holes', and if you are someone who thinks outside the box, you will feel ever more shafted. I presume you made this decision based on the last match you had with that annoying Ref? I dont know who the judges are, but sometimes you get some incompetent ****head who doesnt know what he is doing, and he assesses things based on his own bad discretion or some illogical criteria... Whatever. I digress. Anyway good luck with your 'career change', you're young and you can go straight back into all the kicking you already learned in JKD, plus now you can also Box. I look forward to seeing how far you will go. Keep us updated.
I wasn't going to substitute anything. Ingar, thanks for the response. You basically reassured what I had guessed, about neural firing speed.
