    I'm trying to watch videos, read, and talk to others about learning how to box. So I figured I should have a training log about what training I'm doing. People are welcome to comment on what I need to improve on doing.
    Sunday May 10
    About 18 minutes of running 15 laps around my house
    4X3 Rounds of doing footwork around the heavybag, no punches, just stance and footwork
    125 sit-ups

    Yes, I have one, I'll work on it throughout the week. And the only reason I'm not going to a boxing gym is because there's none in my area. But here's the work I did today
    Monday May 11
    8 30-40 yard sprints with 30 seconds in between sprints, and 2 50 yard sprints
    3X3 Shadowboxing, mainly working on the jab and right hand
    4X3 Heavybag work, working the jab, right hand, attempts at double jabbing, and right hooks and left hooks thrown sparingly, I'm really trying to sit down on my punches now
    150 sit-ups
    Tomorrow I may try some moderate long distance running with more heavybag work.

    16 laps of running around my house(About 20 minutes of running)
    Shadowboxing 2X3 (Warming Up)
    Heavybag work 4X3 Jab emphasis again, right hand emphasis too, attempts at double jabbing at times but clear work on defense

    I think I may end up losing too much weight with all this cardio, I'm going to lift weights tomorrow so I can maintain my weight and strength and not get below 165.

    6X3 on an actual Heavybag. I had trouble at first getting the jab going because of the bag moving back and forth, but I was able to get my rhythm going with it after a couple rounds. I was at my sister's Project Graduation event and they had an actual heavybag there so I used it, it was good and less painful on the wrists than my freestanding bag.
    I also played a couple hours of volleyball where I was moving around running trying to make plays, so there's some unorthodox training as well.

    While hitting the heavybag, I hurt one of my muscles in my left shoulder while overextending on a left hook, I think it came from me weightlifting and my muscles being still not fully recovered from it. But it's probably not a tear, as I can throw a left hook today, it's probably just strained, but it's very sore.

    Yes, I'm able to throw a decent one-two now while sitting on my punches. I'm still working on perfecting my jab, it's come a long way, the right hand is something I'm also trying to better, and my left hook isn't so bad or slappy anymore. My right hook was a natural punch for me so it's an easy one to add to a combination. I'll post a video again soon, hopefully by the end of the week or a little later.
    Monday May 18
    2X3 Shadowboxing(Warming up)
    4X3 Heavybag work Jab, working more on throwing a good 1-2, practice of left hooks a little more than usual, they're better and not as slappy anymore, my jab is nearly a snappy one everytime, things are coming more natural now. My right hand still needs a little work, but I'm getting there.
    Session of weightlifting
    Incline bench press of 155 pounds 5X3 times
    Seated rows, both backwards and forwards, on 5X3, one 5X5, abdominal crunch machine, tricep machine, shoulder press, and a couple other machines with 5X 3 reps. Freeweighta with freeweight shoulder press 5X3 and freeweight flat bench 5X3.
    250 hops on a step
    100 sit-ups.
    It was a big day of training.:yep
