WOH WOH WOH Dude! None of this 60x3 stamina crap. This alone is undoing any technique your learning. When your learning how to punch still you dont want to get fatigued because then you get sloppy and your muscle memory stores the sloppy punches. It doesnt matter if you can throw 180 sloppy punches if you cant throw 1 with good technique. If anything change that endurance stuff to just 10:00 "shadowboxing" going very slow with perfect technique bringing your hands back in a perfectly straight line every time, wrists straight, first 2 knuckles, turn the shoulder over, step etc. Ive been boxing for 2 years and I still have that 10:00 of practice EVERY morning, it really does pay off. Every year thats approximately 315,000 perfect punches thrown with just 10:00 a day.
Thanks for the advice. Yes, I'd try to throw any punch I needed to with the stamina drills to push myself to be in better shape, but I need to slow down on those. My best punches occur in shadowboxing anyways, I'll slow down on my stamina drills tomorrow. Wednesday July 8 8X3 shadowboxing The heat was the worst this week today as I did my shadowboxing, so heavy breathing down the stretch and fatigue but fighting through it were part of it today. I did work on slipping punches, jab, right hand, and slowly building up to throwing a 1-2, and a 2-1, increasing speed every so often to see how good I can throw one with the right technique with the right speed for the time being. 60X2 jabs, 60X2 crosses, 60X2 1-2's I'll be revising this exercise tomorrow. 3X3 heavybag work 20 minutes of skipping rope
