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
You got a skipping rope? always a good way to warm up and cool down.. there cheap aswell so theres no excuse !!
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.
Tuesday May 12 15 minutes of skipping rope 2X3 Shadowboxing for warming up 4X3 Heavybag work, emphasis on jabs, right hands, and a little more improvement in double jabbing 100 sit-ups
Wednesday May 13 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.
Thursday May 14 More emphasis on weightlifitng for a change today Incline bench 5X5 A few upper body machine sets involving lats, triceps, delts, shoulders, etc... did about 6 or so of those in either 5 X 3 or 5 X 5 Some freeweights in a 5 X3 shoulder press or a 5 X3 flat bench press 100 jump-ups on a box 100 sit-ups
Friday May 15 Rest Saturday May 16 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.
Sunday May 17 I ran 6 laps around a track at the local park, that was about 2 miles of running. I did 6X3 rounds on the heavybag, I was able to do some decent one-twos and my jab is devloping everytime I do this. 100 sit-ups.
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
Tuesday May 19 15 minutes of skipping rope 6X3 Heavybag work, trying to speed up the double jab but at the same time working on technique, right hand, and left hook. 100 sit-ups
