Khans new conditioner "I dont believe in roadwork"

[Kagami Taiga]

I would swear that this guy stole his ideas from me. I too hate boring cardio which is why ilove jumping rope as well, especially since I know so many tricks with the rope.

to me, jumping rope is the most fun u can have in the gym without actually hitting something

[mathed]

he said he would rather do sprints, and activities that require bursts then long slow paced road work.

He should do high intensity cardio (HIIT) for high paced endurance but it doesn't help your ability to go 12 rounds. The high intensity stuff can be done for about 20 minutes or a little more but you are exhausted while doing it (provided you do it right) and trying to fight like that, you would get pummeled.

jogging helps you get used to constant activity for a sustained period of time and helps you control your breathing and heart rate. You recover after a round much better and faster if you jog routinely.

Ideally, you should mix up the two...have 2 running days per week add 1 HIIT day. The next week, have 2 HIIT training days and one running day.

I have noticed that I have maintained much more muscle, developed muscle even while doing the HIIT Tabata Protocol, plus I lost almost 20 pounds with little to no jogging. Once you get down to a certain body fat %, add in the jogging - like 5 miles a day, a couple days a week. That way you'll maximize muscle mass and strength while developing speed because of the intense, explosive exercises you have been doing.


Just my two cents anyways. Not jogging at all isn't going to help a fighter last 12 rounds.

well then my question to u and many others is do u think these types of exercises benefit a fighter like khan? these routines are designed to increase power and explosiveness but do u think thats what khan should be focusing on? i really dont, and im not an expert at all but to me, thats not the kind of fighter khan should be. imo thats taking him in the wrong direction.

Yes they absolutely benefit Khan. The HIIT will improve Khan's anaerobic stamina. And they arent really to improve power unless there is some sort of strength exercises involved.

Throwing a punch, or a combination in boxing is an anaerobic movement. The bouncing around, head movement, and footwork is aerobic. For fighters like Khan who throw the quick combos throughout a fight they are likely being gassed by the end of the fight from the combinations, to improve his stamina for that would be to do anaerobic exercises.

You will never ever get it right, Khan......

Timmy B is an excellent example to learn from.....running 3.6 miles in high altitude at a near 45 deg. angle in the blistering heat. On the last 24/7, he did all that family stuff early in the AM, put in a 3 hour workout, then finished off the day with an 8 mile jog.

He can last 12 rounds at full steam, he does a lot of jogging and you can tell. He also does a great deal of HIIT stuff. That's how he does it....

In the late 90s or early 2000s, Joe Frazier and Shannon Briggs were on Howard Stern. Joe said he felt like fighters ran way too much and advised Shannon not to do much road work, because he felt it was bad for fighter's legs.

That's funny comming from a man who ran enough miles to circle the earth according to people around him haha

[BigStereotype]

I don't believe in winning fights. I overthink things and am tremendously ******

Agreed 100%. Damn I feel like hitting the gym now.

[LoadedWraps]

lol, i guarantee u khans gonna regret not believing in it.

This.

he said he would rather do sprints, and activities that require bursts then long slow paced road work.

He should do both.

especially given his high exertion style and **** stamina

And this.

Because it works. I wish I had hills like that at my disposal without having to drive.

And it will all payoff on June 9th.

Nothing against Khan, but I don't think he has what it takes to be a true champion. Not a paper champ, a true p4p king.
