Have any of you guys got fizzled out of boxing training?

It also doesnt help that I go to bed at an average of 1am. Then get up at 6:45 for work neither. I need a new bed time.

I take a lot of naps. I come home from work, I have a nap, I eat, I go train.

I take a lot of naps. I come home from work, I have a nap, I eat, I go train.

After work I go straight to boxing,cause usually I get off at like 5. So I have no break in between.Then after boxing,like 2 hours later I run.

are where its at. Thats exactly what i do and if i go to boxing at around noon i shower then nap and go lift weights at night.

By the time i go to training i have alrewady been awake for at least 12 hours, worked between 8-10 of those out in the sun lifting heavy **** and nail gunning which is no fun on the hands/wrists. Sometimes i just skip a day at the gym as i know the body needs an extra two hours sleep. You just have to do it sometimes. You know your body best, so take a hint from it.

Its been harder for me to keep training everyday lately but i think thats just because its been almost two months since i've gotten to spar. When I'm sparring its so much easier for me to do the other stuff because I can see the benefits and have a better sense of what I need to work on.

Yah its needed more often then some people allow,for me it's just a mental thing I always think of something I wouldnt be learning or something that wouldnt be improving if I took that day off.

I'm in agreeance with this. I don't have a blue collar job so i can't say that i'm busting my ass physically but sitting in a cube for 8-10 hours mentally drains the **** outta you and can make you really lethargic. I've found it easier to excercise doing hard labor because you already have the blood flowing and your body has been active.

Vers, i can relate to your sleeping schedule. I'm usually asleep by midnight and am up at 5:30am to do cardio, then I go straight to work where i sit in light traffic, work all ****ing day, then I sit in anywhere from an hour to and hour and a half of traffic to get home and then to my gym. Needless to say I'm ****ing beat but again I have to mentally prep myself, and maybe chug a redbull or something, to get my **** together to go train. I know if I don't I'll beat the **** outta myself mentally for not doing it. Sometimes you have to let your body rest though, I've done it and will have to again soon i'm sure but until then i just keep pushing on.

you definityely need to take brakes if u have a physical labor job and box. i was in the same situation as you and it beat the **** out of me. u need breaks dude whether u like it or not. 1 or 2 days off every now and then.

[ForemanCrossArm]

ive done physical labor before (last summer) and I actually get burnt out more right now, from just working out, than I did from that. And that was in 100 degree oklahoma heat with the sun sitting at high noon position from 10 am (on good days!!!) to 4-5 pm!! and me working WAYYY harder then I HAD too, even! shiiiit. but, yeah, working out a lot is killing me.

im really suprised i havent stopped for multiple days. i have yet to go 2 days without doing a workout. and most days i put in multiples it seems like! jeez. i actually am a little thankful someone knocked down the heavy bag in our gym, otherwise i would be completely dead right now..

i still have one not-completely-healed fractured knuckle.. i had two broken pinkies (both healed now, only took like a week, i have amazing bone/muscle recovery). hands were pretty bruised up, but its been a week since i've hit the bag and they feel good again. it's also got me hitting the weights more and actually looking to do more cardio. have actually been running, just running lately, not playing basketball or anything, just running lately haha.. jeez.

i think inspiration is the best cure for workout fatigue, honestly.

keep it up. and i'll keep it up. and he'll keep it up. and in 5 years ill be beating all your asses at SMW/LHW.
