How many times do you do boxing specific training per week?

5 or 6 if I can make it. Anyone starting out should be at the gym as much as possible. Practice makes permanent!

 

With my new trainer we do sparring drills everyday, <<<< it's light contact. We also work a lot on technique, after each round he gives us a talk and fixes what we did wrong; if we feel odd about it he finds away that would work better for us

 

sounds like a good trainer, so many are absolutely shite imo! if you can only get to gym then shadowboxing for 125 minutes a day really thinking about what you are doing in front odf a mirror slowly and getting the technique right will work wonders.

 

should say 15mins!

 

Way better than my old trainer who made us do nothing but bag drills. My new trainer is a bit obsessed with mitts though xD

 

What!?! I love the rain!

 

5 days a week...usually 2 days sparring with that..5 weeks before the fight i pick it up to sparring for 4 times for two weeks...then 3 times the next week...then 1 time...then a few days off and the fight....

i also lift 3 days a week...run 4 days a week...

 

Sounds a bit too much

 

Really? Im retired now,but used to run 6days per week. Long runs hill runs and track work is all a part of the training. Facing better and better opponents makes training like thisl essential.

Mornings were for running and stretching routines.

Midday was for skipping and bag-work on your own for at least an hour.

Evening was club time and did whatever the trainer had in mind for an hour and a half.

anytime that you give to training is up to the individual to decide about.

If you train 3 times a week and your opponent trains 6 days a week,who do you think has the advantage over who?

 

You have to remember that rest is just as important as training.

 

Not really. I cycle more than he lifts to be honest, but the lifting he does would screw up the recovery I need from boxing practice.
