On monday i'll be starting my serious training regime for the scottish uni's in December, what do you guys think of this? Slow running 1-2times a week sprints 3-4 times a week weights 2 times a week (stop week before the fight) Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sunday Box Spri Box Spri Box Sprint REST W LSD W LSD Fight - 5.12.2009 Start this routine 21.9.2009 W = Weights LSD = Long Slow Distance Box = Actually in the boxing gym my weights will consist of heavy weights low reps and sprints will be anything from hill sprints to sprinting 80mtrs walk back spriting 80mtrs and after the first week i will have an idea of much to do ie is 10x80mtrs too much or too little the long slow distance will consist of running 3/4miles or swimming 3/4km (use to swim competitvely when younger so i know what i'm doing) and i've decided to mix up the running ie do it before training and some days do it after training so that my body gets used to working hard when its completely done My diet will be a balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit, veg carbs protein fat, after reading RDJ nutrion guide i've taken alot from it and will try and put it to use The fight will be at light-welterweight 64kg and at the moment in the morning before eating i'm weighing 64.8kg what do you guys think? anything looking wrong or can anything be done better?
ignore the timetable can't get it to come out properly, its like this Monday - Weights and Boxing Tuesdays - Sprints Wednesday - Long Slow Distance and Boxing Thursday - Sprints and Weights Friday - boxing and long slow distance Sat - sprints Sunday - Rest Day
I'd box on sunday as well to be honest, even if its just light bag work, pads, shadow boxing/skipping etc. rest after the fight! Looks ok though :good
ya think? read lots of articles on training like rest is important....don't wanna burn out before the fight was thinking a rest days keeps me fresh?
3 hard days of boxing and 2 lighter days of boxing. I would cut the weights out by the end of September to be honest. You'll need the 8 weeks to focus on just the sport and conditioning. anaerobic running 3 times a week and 30 minutes of running or biking 3 times a week (alternating between the two) would be a better choice than weightlifting. It's unlikely you will lose a match because of your strength at this point. The calisthenics and boxing exercises will provide enough resistance and conditioning.
If you need time to recover drop a weights day, not a boxing/cardio day. like the other lads have pointed out, i dont think 3 days of boxing is enough. not if your fighting :good
yeh this will be my 5th fight....is a tourny so possible i could fight twice on the sat and twice on sunday but i dont think it will that busy.... i could go to the gym on either the tues or thurs....4 sessions a week? i can't really afford to go anymore, money and time wise
I used to love fighting like that, we did that in the army a lot Do the 4 sessions a week, and mix in some shadow boxing, skipping and circuit training on your weights days, you do weights at home yeah?
