Ok everyone lets start with a short description of me. currently 205lbs 19 years old 5'11 First fight. 188lbs 5'11 16 years old im blue [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iD4CV0fX6U&list=UUGUhJlRTaiwjxVLuqZY8MpA[/ame] Second fight. ????, 5'11 17 years old im red [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGYzTj5Pf04&list=UUGUhJlRTaiwjxVLuqZY8MpA[/ame] third fight 198lbs 5'11 18 years old im blue [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaju9P37xlA&list=UUGUhJlRTaiwjxVLuqZY8MpA&index=1[/ame] I Rematched the guy in my third fight and lost as well these are my opinions on my fights First fight. I thought it was going well in the first round gassed out halfway through the second second fight. went horrible wasn't mentally prepared and was burn't out Third fight. First round beating the crap out of him. second round gas out halfway through and just last the few minutes left of the second round and the third fourth fight. just lost plain and simple First question/opinions I in all of my fights would run 3-4 miles 3-5 times a week as well as attend my boxing club and follow the routine there 2 times a week and 3 times a week 2 weeks before my fight. Currently i am trainning in my garage at home because my club isnt running during the holidays and i will be switching clubs i will explain why later. But i have changed many things in my workout routine. I start with skipping anywhere between 20-40 minutes of skipping every second day at least. if possible everyday with the skipping. When i have time i shadow box intensley for 4 3 minute rounds rounds 3 times with 1 minute breaks. or i have a friend hold pads for me and this concludes my workout at home. But all though its not the amount of working out i want to do which is just due to lack of time. I am finding my stamina is far better then anytime in my entire boxing career from doing the skipping vs the running. and i am now able to loose weight much faster as well. Currently 205lbs, 5'11, 19 years old I am switching clubs because there is too little people at my club so i never get the opportunity to spar or compete will be resuming in january 3 at another club i also want to learn some new training methods from a coach who will be able to teach me new techniques and training methods. The main questions i need some opinions/ answers too. A.what are the best ways to build stamina. I read having my heart rate up to the level that its as if i was fighting is how to build cardio but my coach wanted me to do this by running 3-4 miles which required a lot of time and i have bad knees so i switched to skipping/ shadow boxing which seems to get my heart rate up to where it needs to be in 6 minutes instead of 20-30 am i fooling my self or is this in fact a better alternative to running B. Diet What the hell do i eat on a daily basis that allows me to have energy but avoid gaining weight C. point out any technical flaws you see in my form D. What are some places besides a boxing gym i may be able to spar with fellow boxers on my own time?
Wow, I think the reason so many views and no reply is...we don't know where to start. That's about 20 mins of video you got there with loads of questions, and we don't know much about your training habits or current diet. Plus, after boxing for 3 years, frankly you should have this stuff figured out by now. Sorry if that sounds harsh (not trying to be an ass), i'm just pointing out that you have more experience than well...half of us here, so we don't know wether to start with basics, or get more advanced. Off the bat, most people here will agree that for building stamina, simple running or skipping or shadow boxing is probably doing very little for you (unless you are incorporating sprints, or some real high intensity skipping). I understand you are incorporating intervals into your shadow boxing, but lets be real, it ain't nearly as tiring as sparring or fighting. Sounds like your focus on cardio has been more on the 'quantity' vs quality. You can run 10 miles 7 days a week, but if you're not hitting the same intensity as a real fight, you're essentially training to fight someone with the same intensity as someone who is casually jogging in the park. You need to incorporate real high intensity intervals into your workout, whatever it be. Again, I don't think it matters what you are doing, or how much of it - as long as you do it hard. Also, for diet advice - we have some knowledgeable people here - but they can only help if you are specific with what you eat, frequency and approximate quantities. Technique - no matter what advice you get on the internet - a live coach is the best thing. If your existing coach hasn't done it for you - you're already doing the right thing by getting a new one. Where to find sparring partners outside of a boxing gym....ha ha, f*ck if I know. Walk around with gloves and ask people on the street. lol. Outside of a boxing or MMA gym, you're pretty much on your own. Proceed with caution, you can pick up reeeeally bad habits sparring with nobodies. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
just couple of things ,,when training on the bags slow down your Punch's & break it down making sure your transferring your weight correctly ,,your a big lad make the most out of it (back to basics) and stop stepping in with the jab simly jab and let him walk onto it also when you attack ,stand your ground let you opponent move away from you don't back off ,,,by backing of your telling him ,come and have a go I'm knacked
