Nice :good What you doing strength-wise? obviously you cant beat pull-ups/chin-ups and press ups, but i found kettle-bell work outs were a great addition to boxing training. one exercise in particular, but cant remember what its called :huh you basically start by holding it at arms length and squat then swing it up to chest height and repeat etc. a few 3s of that warms you up nice :good
I don't do much strength training at the moment. Did some weights (dumbells) about two weeks ago, which for me is very rare. I used to do a shitload of heavy manual labor (roadie work, construction, etc) so I never needed it.

Yeah i know what you mean, i'm not a big fan of weight training as a supplement to boxing training either. i love pull-ups/chin-ups, dips and press ups though :good

I found that out when I got clocked in the nose for the first time in god knows how long, with a jab for ****s sake. I was bleeding heavily, my white shirt is red now. Didn't see hooks coming either so I sparred a few more rounds without it and did fine. After that I was persuaded by a heavier guy to do one more round, and was given a nice shiner, same place as the one two weeks ago.

Love your bike rides you dont ya I'm doing an 18 miler tomorrow across the moors. its a 16 mile route but the train station is 2 miles from the start point. i carry a 30kg bergen on these walks but push myself to do it in around 3 an a half hours so i have to run on some stretches. I love bergen/hill training. after about 12 miles i'm in a world of my own, mostly filled with pain :good its usually raining up there too which helps motivate me to keep going.
