PugilistStudent's Training Log

TUESDAY morning
3 rounds shadowboxing
5 rounds sparring
-Wouldve had more sparring but I broke my sparring partner. I caught him coming in with a straight right on the chin and he was saying that his jaw hurt too much to continue. I knocked him down too with a straight right to the body, it sounds like we where going hard but not really, only about 70% power. The good news is that Im using my right alot more effectively and Ive worked out my problem with the straight right. I still dont like the right hook except to the body but now Im looking at my uppercuts and being more effective with them, I was already starting to work on that today but nothing too interesting to report on that front. I think I got hit maybe 10 times in the 5 rounds but Im not sure, its not like I count them. Ive kind of learned how to be a dick lol once (because its happened to me and I just wanted to see what I could do with it) when his hand was in front of his eyes and it looked like his thumb was lined up with his eyeball Id hit his hands to push his thumb into his eye, an interesting strategy but I wont do it much cuz its kind of a dick thing to do, I just wanted to know I could do it.

TUESDAY evening
10 rounds shadowboxing

ran to the gym from a soccer game
shoulder pre-hab
4 rounds heavybag (1 round was jab only)
5 rounds double end bag
4x30 second punch out drills (3lb)
4x30 second uppercut drill (5lbs)
3 plate pinches each hand
3 one handed hangs each hand
3x30 second fingertip pushup supports (forgot to make them longer but I think I might take them out)
-I only had an hour to train after watching the soccer game so I was going all out on the run there which was probably 1.5 miles, this was my warm up. The shadowboxing I did at home before the soccer game. On the heavybag I was going all out, full power and a huge punch rate, afterwards my left hand hurt a bit. I think the shoulder prehab should only be done 3 times a week maybe. After this easy week its back to doing my morning workouts, last week I only got 2 real conditioning workouts because of being sick but Im not counting that as rest because I WAS sick so its not really rest for my body since its gotta fight that **** off.

Various one handed pushup types (divebombers, standard, one arm 1 leg)
2 rounds counter drills (counter jab and straight right singularly)
1 round "sparring"
-Lost my gloves today, someone must have picked them up by accident or stolen them problem is if they where stolen Im not sure who would have took them because I was training and talking with buddies and not paying attention to who left and when. Hopefully someone just took them by accident and I'll find them tomorrow, otherwise I have to use the gyms gloves. Sparring was ok today, I was a little off my game though. My partner just had nose surgery for a deviated septum but I guess its fine now. We agreed to 50% power because of his nose and of course he went harder. So I kept going light but went hard only on body shots after 2 rounds, which I landed alot of. The last round I went 70-80% since he wasnt going light and if he doesnt want to go light like we agreed then its his problem not mine if something goes wrong with the healing of his nose. Im not letting a guy that outweighs me by 30-40lbs just swing at my hard without getting mine in. So last round I only popped him in the nose a few times but with about 70-80% power. He got me with a good right that I moved into that got me a bit wobbly but I fought through it in the second round. During the 1 round of "sparring" it was just me and a new guy to sparring, I let him throw punches at me while I just worked on counters without hitting him, would have got more in but the gym was closing.

-The defensive sparring was buddy really rushing at me, I could only fight back with body shots though since his jaw was sore again but it was good practice on my left hook and dealing with pressure which I need to work on. Im very relaxed sparring now except for during flurries coming my way, I tend to hold my breath which I've been working on. My time on the conditioning was 8:54, if there was heavier db's Id use them. This is the best my conditioning has ever been

WEDNESDAY morning
2 mile run (5:00 cool down)
20:00 exercise bike (10:00 cool down)
-I did the 2 miles in 11:24 so really it was more like 11:10 since it takes about 15 seconds for the treadmill to get up to speed. On the exercise bike I went at 70-75% HRR and my average speed had to be 18.9 to get my heart rate up to 70% so thats a slight improvement over before. Im going to max out on these two miles but it seems like Im going to need to change my routine from this because gains are slowing a fair bit. I may start to do intervals with an incline.

-The sparring went great but I have to work on varying my attack more. The defensive sparring was just me letting the new guy take swings at me while I defended and I worked in some counters (just touched him or stopped the punch right before his face). My patellar tendon is sore...hope it goes away. I think it may be from the extra run yesterday.

MONDAY morning
1.5 miles (5:00 cool down)
10:00 exercise bike (no cool down)
-Im taking it a little easier on the legs still but not much so I was on the bike less, I think I will start to continue running after the main high intensity run but at a lower intensity so I can build more endurance for my running so I can keep the times dipping down. Did the 1.5 miles in 7:50 which is 8 seconds faster than my personal best before, however I did put my feet on the sides a few times when I was changing the pace.

-That was a failure of a conditioning workout, I couldnt keep do the pullups with that little rest and after 10 and 9 I was doing them in sets of 3 or so until I got up to the number and I'd catch my breath...I replaced 6 and 7 (pullups) with 2 just so I could get going at a decent pace again.
