what kind of conditioning do you guys do apart from the sports specific?

I only get about an 1 and a half of training each day. Like you said, he tries not to push us to the point we don't want to come anymore. We do have a few people who are lazy and are satisfied with the bare minimum, but I myself want to be ready for anyone

 

i find that too Paloato

right now were doing excersises for everyone so ven the non fighters/unfit kids

and all it does is bore the living **** out of me

 

No kidding, and it gets annoying as **** when I see people stand around taking breaks and complaining -.-. Their the reason I spar maybe once a week if I'm lucky...

 

Train me? The only type pf conditioning we've been doing is with our arms, and occasionally some plyometrics....

 

do you have a medicine ball at your gym? Lots of different exercises you can do off of that. Also for leg strengthening theirs always lunges and jump squats and wall sits. My trainer sometimes has me do wall sits while going on the mits. It helps use your shoulder and back when you punch and the whole time your legs are burning. also if you guys have any long workout bench their is a good workout with it that i dont know what it is called but i will describe it. stand facing parallel to the long side of the bench and jump over it from side to side about twenty times. it helps with speed and its great for when you already worked out your legs a bit. also if you have a weighted bar you there is a workout where you have the bar on your shoulders, put one leg forward and bend down with both legs and turn your body to the outside of the leg that is forward. that helps a lot with balance. Hope i could help.

 

I was planning on conditioning during the summer. Maybe a 3 mile warm up run, then 5 min break, then start sprints

 

That's a good point, but keep in mind that you need to train to go to war for 3, 2 minute rounds. If you're running 3 miles as a warm up, you're spreading your energy out over a 25-30 minute period when actual competition is only 8 minutes. Your intensity during training needs to mimic competition.

 

I like the idea, let's just see if I can actually finish the 3 miles like that xD

 

So what you're saying is, I'm trying to train for a pro fight (marathon). When I should be training for an amateur fight (sprint)
