How often do YOU train?

[Rockin']

people don't believe that anymore

they can believe what they like it means nothing to me for I dont need their respect. I have the respect of my peers in the game and thats all that I need.

Why dont you go to Jackie Kallens web site and ask her about me and my training methods. I'll bet that she will tell you that nobody trained harder or had a more strern coach when it came to physical conditioning. Ask her about Rockin' Robbie and she will fill you in................Rockin'

6 hours a day, you must be a great boxer then.

Keeping the 1 1/2 hours travel, and the basically three hours that really isn't boxing related, that leaves about 2 hours of BOXING a day... and honestly, no I'm not that good... yet.

[PunchDrunk]

I believe the Rock, why not? The funny thing is, this guy was a pro, and he only trained half as much as Trick says he does...

And Trick, even if it's not boxing related (which I'd say it is, if you're doing it to benefit your boxing), it's still 5 hours of training a day, which only the hardest of pro's and international level amateurs do. It takes years to build up a work capacity like that, and I just don't buy it. I'd like to follow you around to your training for a few days, and see what you're doing.

same in here but guy like Jaun Daiz and Nobuire are good role model of college student and boxing champ if he could have a degree and boxing belt why cant you train intest and be golden gloves champ and get good grade or at least be in shape which is more important.

for me i dont train much long time ago i was training daily for 2hr boxing stuff then go for a swim ia stayed like that for about month or so and reduce to boxing and somedays swiming and by the time i near to college i drop it all andcome just few time a month

Well, I've only been really trained since February, but I've been an "athlete" for quite some time. When I used to play soccer for my school, having a 2 hour morning practice and then a 2-3 hour evening practice was not condsidered "extreme". I suppose I'm used to it. Not to mention, my saturdays are lighter, and I obviously rest up well on sunday. I also ran X-country for me school, and while boxing's tough, sometimes I think that running up a hill after your 8th km can be much worse... So ya, over the years, I've developed into being able to take that much.

Just to clarify, when I say 2 hours, I don't mean I have a weight in my hand for two hours, I mean, I take breaks between sets, take rounds off between things at the gym, if you want some count of PURE activity, I donno man, I'm not weird enough to try and count that up.

I don't plan on being the world champ or anything, but I guess I have high enough ambitions. I've been around boxing my whole life, but like I said, I've only been training properly since February (I'll be 20 this August), so I've got lots to make up. So I train hard. I've never claimed to hit like Foreman, have the speed of Ali, or move like Mayweather, but when someone says I don't work hard, I take it pretty personally man, 'cause I do, and I sacrifice a lot in the academic, social, and financial aspects of my life to do it.

I guess I don't mean you, considering you don't even know me, I mean, you have no reason to believe me, I could be some lard-ass behind a keyboard, so no disrespect.

But PunchDrunk, I hope you train your fighers tough. I mean, I'm new(ish) so I'm not the greatest. But my two trainers spend the time with me 'cause I work. Do you not do encourage your young guys to work if they wanna get noticed?

I guess you can say that that level of training is uncommon, but you can't say it's unneeded for those who aren't at the top. How else do you get to the top? And those at the top train harder I should hope. If De La Hoya is only training 5 hours a day, I wish him the best of luck against PBF... And I doubt I'm the hardest worker on here. I'd imagine Vers works at least as hard, especially given that he's a mover (or was, or something right?).

Haha, when you come over here to "teach McAlister the hard way" you can follow me around if you wish. But I'm much more concerned with impressing my trainers than some trainer 3000 miles away... over the internet... Believe what you want man, it's of no consequence to me, my point is just that as cliche as it is: "when there's a will, there's a way" if someone has it in them to train hard, they can. So I think that's important for any fighter to realize, that nothing should be able to stop them from training as hard as they want.

Haha, ok, I just wrote a three hour exam, so I'm in a long-winded mood I guess... didn't mean to that to get so long.

Peace,
Trick

BTW, PunchDrunk, I mean no disrespect, I'm just defending myself

[veldrak]

Geeez guys... by the sounds of this I don't train enough... I mean I run every morning, for a half hour or so, and then maybe 1-1 1/2 hours per night? every day? sounds like not much compared to you guys... and i'm fighting in a week ...

[Trick]

that's fine bro, that's my routine minus the weight/fitness training afterwards

[veldrak]

By looking at the threads over months, it seems I to be on the lower side of the amount training!!! I do push myself though... but I guess we'll just see.

[PunchDrunk]

Hey Trick, no problem, I'd been irritated if I were you, and some dude on the internet kept saying I was full of it. The funny thing is, I don't take you for a White hope "full of ****" type of guy at all. I just have a hard time believing you train 5 hours+ a day, while in college.

You better believe I train my fighters hard (and sometimes not hard, depending on what's needed). I think their level attests pretty well to that. The ironic thing is that this is precisely why I find your story hard to believe. Because they don't train 5 hours a day, in fact they can't train 5 hours a day, take care of jobs or school at the same time, training with me. If we trainined that much, they'd need to be pro's and spend the rest of the time recovering. But I guess there might be a difference in intensity between what I do with my kids, and the way you train, that would explain it? I don't know...
