I think it is all about heart, character and .. God's blessing. This is the only way I can explain how old-timers went through 15 rounds and fought 50+ bouts per career
I think it could be, that they were in good condition to Fight, dont think for one moment, that they were not.
Yep, none of them had access to the science that we do currently, but their work pace, in the ring, of the heavyweights then, puts the heavyweights of today to shame!
Just in general training twice per day..? You see allot of athlete's training twice a day in most sports these days "Maybe even more", i personally just think its ******ed. I will only EVER train once per day, i will never ever change this. Apparently if you train twice per day, it's basically forcing you're body to recover faster, but it takes up to 6 months to fully adapt so they say. Also the more you train the more you're body producers cortisol, regarding to boxing i think allot of boxers get carried away with the duration of their training sessions. Training as you know is a damaging process all it is essentially is a traumatic experience for you're body, the more you train the more stress hormone which is released. Which is basically going to have a caticbolic affect on you're body, and if you continently keep releasing high amounts of stress hormone you will become chronically fatigued.... I honestly think allot of boxers are chronically fatigued but..? People in the boxing world just past them off as being shot. I honestly don't think the majority of boxers training regimes combined with diets is in the long term a great life style for any athlete..........."This trend of training multiple times per days, is the reason why most athlete's die young, or look completely ****ed when they retire". This is the big problem i have got with this training twice per day, or 3 times per day bull****. I just want to know what you think..? http://www.charlespoliquin.com/Arti.../421/Stepping_Up_to_Twice-a-Day_Training.aspx [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FAcybRq70[/ame]
Mother****ers dropping some knowledge over here...I'm thoroughly enjoying this discussion, keep it up gents! :good
Love it but can't touch it. I'm just the guy who does the work, not the homework. At least not this deep. Break it down a little simpler for us Neanderthals.
PK has got knowledge, surprised by how in depth he knows his stuff... No offence PK but I thought you was a bit of a nutcase.
Interestingly PK, this has a connection with one of my main Peeves. Working Kids, when there Bodies havent matured enough for Hard Work. Its been going on for years, stopping proper development. I spend a bit of Time at academy's, top soccer clubs by the way. What I see makes me cringe. It did when I watched Boxing Clubs also.
Of interest to the Thread, Now you can work with a Heartbeat, of 145, while working Anaerobically, thats interesting . While creating 30% more Lactic than Running the same distance, without impact.
