Hitting yourself in the stomach for 'conditioning'

Chris eubank was a good fighter not a physiologist

 

True, but even i could agree from personal experience

 

You can still progress in spite of doing something that is infact detrimental or of no benefit.

 

I have done this myself with medcine ball work - and never considered it a bad thing - saw it as a way ofr conditioning the body to some abuse.

After reading this thread its made me ponder things a little bit. -

I can believe that ******s do it - because I have seen Enzo Calzaghe do it to his fighters down at Camp Calzaghe. - So ******s do it.

All I can say is in my defense - I have never done it to my body excessively hard at all - more quanity rather than power -thats going to damage my ribs or something.

And if I am wrong to do it and just been brainwashed by the "old school" and "camp calzaghe" - and it has gone against intelligent modern training methods................

Then all I can do is quote the Tulsia song to everyone on this thread "Forgive me for what I have done - because I am young - I am young - I'll learn from the mistakes I have done - cos I'm young I am young"

*All young upcoming boxers - should refrain from watching any Camp Calzaghe training videos - led by their ****** Slave Driver Ringleader - the Loon - Enzo Calzaghe.

 

I did some Muay Thai training a few years ago in Thailand at quite a high level gym and the trainer would get the kids to sit ups on the edge of the ring apron and when they came up - WHAM! - he would hit them full force on the abs with a heavy duty pad. I think it's bull**** to be honest but a lot of people seem to buy into it.

 

sometimes i put my nuts in a vice to toughen them up just incase i get a lowbow.
