How does Adrenaline affect you?

The law of physics indicates that for every high there is a low. I dont want to start a debate or anything,but those who do drugs to "get really high" open themselves up to the exact opposite experience,which is a "big downer" for sure when they have come down....down so far we have a name for that too....its called depression.

Its also said that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I think the effect of adrenalin(a natural chemical/drug) has an opposite effect too when it wears off. It aint claiming it as a gospel truth, but it may well have a good dose of reality to it all the same.

 

Yes that's about it i guess...but you said it shorter and better!!!

 

it just takes time to get used to things and adapt. you could try looking up ways to trigger its release if you wanted but its not really worth it. the more you box the more youll get used to things and learn to handle the rush if you even get it.

 

yes controlling the adrenalin flow has everything to do with the way you think.

For instance...

fighter A is full of adrenalin just thinking of his fight,and hes pumped to the max! hes throwing punches and feeling strong with 6 hours before he has to get in the ring.He cant wait! hes shadow boxing in the change room and his fights only 2 hours away! man he cant keep his mind from thinking a 100 mph and he is just sizzling with 30minutes to go till he will be knocking the other guy out!!.He gets in the ring and the bell goes.Hes feeling a bit flat for some puzzling reason.....Can you guess why?:rasta

looking at fighter B....he is kinda nervous and the more he thinks about his fight the more the adrenalin begins to flow.So he sits down and relaxes by watching an old rocky movie, then goes to have a lie down or read a book...anything to get his mind off the fight. 2 hours till showtime and hes sitting there all relaxed,his trainer tapes his hands and has a few jokes like usual. 30minutes out from the fight hes stretching and warming up with light fast flurries and testing all his shots and finding a rhythm on the pads for 5 maybe 10 minutes.He is about to leave the change room and his trainer tells him its ok to let the lid of the adrenalin jar now! he has deep down wanted to do all day!! The bell sounds and hes full of energy.can you guess why


If you have spent weeks and months preparing for your fight,then keeping your mind fixated on fight night is pointless. Dont wear yourself to a frazzle because the works been done along the way.Save every ounce of energy for when you need it the most....:bbbIn the ring!:bbb

 

Adrenaline causes the "fight or flight" response in your body that used up a lot of energy. The anticipation caused your adrenale glands to work an make you tired.

my mate gets real tense beofre and during fights and the last round he gasses but im the opposite i have a real long warm up then have a real slow first round but by the last im just getting started and then after the fight i have to shadow box to burn off energy

 

That is an interesting way to go about things mate:shock:.If one of my boys has that much left in the tank after hes had a fight, it had better be because he stopped the other guy or won and is pumped about it.

So here is my 2 cents worth,and im never going to claim its the gospel truth, because its only a reply based on a few clues you have posted about your record in another thread,and this one too.No offense or disrespect intended in the slightest ok mate.:hat


If you lose a fight, and yet still have a ton of energy left over afterwards, then why do you start off slow?? leave it in the ring mate,cos that's where it counts.
I read what you posted in another thread about your record.There may be one wee small tactical error that keeps you from getting a favorable decision.

First impressions carry a lot of weight with judges and creates an invisable bias in favor of the winner of that 1st round. If you start out slow and the other guy starts out fast then its more than likely the other guy will catch the judges attention through work rate alone, if nothing else.

Some fighters worry about running out of gas before the last round, so they find ways to make sure that doesn't happen to them.....in the Pros its called taking a round off....

If you are fit, then starting off slowly is not a good option.

Why not?

1) If he cant go 4 hard rounds flat out, and you know you can,then you will never take him into the deeper waters to find that out. Going slowly is like taking a round off in a way...Unless your a Thai Boxer of course...then its just called "feeling the other guy out":smoke


2) You are really helping him out by taking the pressure off by going slowly, and allowing him the luxury of being able to have a good look at you,while finding his rhythm all at the same time.

3)First impressions carry a lot of weight with judges and creates an invisable bias in favor of the winner of that 1st round.


4) Amateur scoring sux ass :smh :ass:asskiss at the best of times:deal

 

cheers mate i appreciate it

im fit as **** but its weird my body takes ages to get warm and im warm in the ring but waiting cools me down abit then i have to start over in the first round so maybe i will just shadow box in the ring. also a bit of it is to do with confidence like im not sure if i can take his punch im not sure if i can cope with him. After the first round my workrate is 10x better and my last round is huge i almost always win the last round.

After the fight im just getting into it its the same in sparring but i can last 5 or 6 rounds before even tiring abit.

i do think its the mental aspect of it mostly though but i also use it as a feeler out round but maybe like you say i should just go for it

maybe i have a bit of mexican in me lol

 

jajajajaja maybe you have amigo :rofl

Well put it this way.....it may have to do with confidence by what you said,but nothing out of the ordinary or unusual about this pre fight though.... Start with really considering a few questions before answering them. Has your heart ever let you down in a fight? have you ever quit?

If the answer is no after all the gym work and fights you have had then i doubt they will ever be a problem.

Every question that is on your mind must be answered.If you dont know the answers,then you need to go find answers from your trainer,your mates,the TV, ESB, anywhere and everywhere you can. Remember this.....good confidence comes from sound knowledge.

Try this if you want....

Visualize someone putting you into a position that you cant cope with.....whats he doing that you cant cope with? Slow the movie in your mind down and shadow box your way through whatever is going on. Come up with simple ways of how to block,counter,evade,clinch, or nullify whatever is thrown at you.

Its funny how you will turn from being worried, to being quietly confident once you've addressed the matter in your mind.

Try this in shadow sparring.....imagine your shadow is attacking you as much as you attack it....just dont go knocking yourself out ok :gsg
Test out your defenses using good techniques, and after awhile start adding counters to everything.... that's the whole purpose of shadow sparring in the first place,but thought id mention it anyway:rasta

 

Thats good to hear:good

When you are doing new things physically, it "scratches" a neural imprint that becomes a pathway in your brain.At first you need to really concentrate on performing anything new.The brain records every sequence and detail related to muscle movement that is used to perform every single task we perform.

If you keep performing any physical action,it will eventually become something that you can do without giving it a moments thought in the end.

Take walking.Or blocking a punch.Or riding a pushbike.

Riding a pushbike takes deep concentration to begin with, but it will soon become a task that needs no conscious thought at all after a while...

In the end it just becomes an entrenched habit...it becomes a sub-conscious and automatic response pattern. Its whats called automatic pilot.

When Lads say they will go do some training on there own before going to a proper gym i frown to myself:-( and feel sorry for their soon to be new trainer:-(

They are learning habits alright......bad ones that usually takes the poor trainer extra time and effort to correctatsch

 

good adise mate

in my mind its not so much what my opponent can do to me its what if i look rubbish what if i make a mistake more sort of thing, im a perfectionist see
