Try doing them going fowards and backwards, doing monkey bars for a few weeks increased my chin up amount big time.

    stairs work is nice. i know a place near me that has roughly 150+ stairs that run almost continuosly up and down to a local beach area. i usually hit 'em up after a 20 minute jog. i recommend doing them after running for some reason.

    monkey bars are ****ing awesome!

      Get in a really crowded street and go through the crowd without touching anyones shoulders, bumping into anyone or stopping.
      That's a good way to get some extra sparring practice in.

        actually, the crowded street thing is old school. just not necessarily in western boxing. it was most often a way to practice while doing everyday things.

          Actually your best form is when you walk real fast witohut looking weird, just moving your body slightly but being able to avoid any sort of contact.

            A beauty for improving reflexes is running through woods and trying to stay on your feet, while avoiding branches and leaves from overhead.

              well obviously you don't want to look weird. there isn't a big trick to it once you know how to train certain things.

              higher level guys i know practice without you even being aware of it. that's how some people get so good it seems like they have superhuman powers or some **** - they can practice 24 hrs a day.

                  My method is the opposite, in order to practice my techinique i go up and down the street attacking as many people as possible.

                      Archi Moore used to walk alot on his hands to develop punching power.
                      Easy enough- except for the fact that he walked up and down stairs on his hands...

                      In general, I'd say that whatever hurts, whatever is physically grueling and difficult to do is worth training on.
                      If it doesn't help you physically, it helps you mentally.

                      And whatever crazy **** you can think about doing, there's always someone else going through something worse.

                      The Yamabushi warriors in Japan for instance.

                      They have 1000 days over the course of 7 years with unbelievable things they must go through in order to be accepted.

                      Every day for a 100 days they must walk 84 km (52,5 miles)- on straw sandals!
                      In the mountains, not on the beach.
                      They carry with them only two things; a rope and a knife.
                      Yamabushi code state that if they don't complete the journey, they must either kill themself by hanging or cutting up their belly.

                      The last test they go through is astonishing; 9 days and nights with no food, no water and no sleep.

                      Only 46 people have completed the 1000 day trial over the last 400 years.

                      When I think I hurt, I think of these warriors. Then I'm fine
