How much sit ups & push ups should a featherweight do? Cause featherweight punches weaker, I am not really worried about muscle training, but I just wanted to check.
Right now, I do 50 push ups, 50 sit ups, 50 back raise (or however you call that), 50 squats, 50 neck ups, and I do 3 sets (by the third set, I can't do 50 at once but take breaks in between). Up to the 2nd set, I can do 50 at once. The next day, I do jump rope for 30 minutes straight. The next day, I take a break. Then I repeat this 3 day pattern. When my body gets more used to the exercises (my calves get tensed up for 3 days at the moment after jump ropes), I am thinking of removing the resting day so that I make this into a 2 day pattern (1 day for muscles, 1 day for cardio).
As for my diet, I drink juices & shakes (meal replacement, protein). No solid food. I have been dropping weight (still need to lose a couple kilograms to get into featherweight).
I noticed that lighter weight divisions mostly focus on light endurance exercises rather than muscle exercises. I just wanted to check if my cardio & muscle program suffices for featherweight in pro boxing. I don't do roadwork. I get bored easily & replaced roadwork with 30 minute jump rope which is similar in intensity (unless you sprint in roadwork) but can watch cable TV.
I am 5'7'' or 172cm. Right now, I am 62.1kg. I am dropping to 55kg. When I eat solid food, that should be around 57kg (featherweight).
