Newbies posting vids about how great they are

Threadstarter knows **** all about boxing clearly.

I think it is ok for someone to post a video just asking for advice etc unless they are ****y as you say and already think they know it all. I think people should encourage beginners to post videos asking for tips and advice on how to improve.

Of course there is NO problem with that. What he means is when new guys post vids saying they fight with their hands down cause they are the second coming of Roy Jones Jr. That's when the problem starts. If the video is posted to get help and improove people will be inclined to help.

Oright yes fair enough, like shawn?

Not for nothing but....

doing 1000 press-ups a day, 1000 crunches a day, running 5 miles 5 days a week, adding sprints and stairs to that and then boxing training....

Thats a quick recipe for overtraining, joint destruction and general burnout.

You were going great until you posted workout routines you yourself do not follow.

Hahahaha. Some people do make me laugh. The Rocky comment was funny too. Some pro's do alot more than that. It is impossible to burnout on a standard workout if you build up to it at a sensible pace.

I been on holiday and comeback and my stance is still the same. Too many attention seeking jokers from the ******* generation. Some of the silly comments and confrontational manner of the posts make me laugh. Not interested. People should try to be more pragmatic. As for posting my own vids, I could be a show off but all I'm really bothered about is how my name will look on boxrec.com. Y'all should do the same.

YNWA.

There are many other excersizes that should be included in the regimen besides running push ups and stairs and Im sure you know that.

Starting out with 1000 push ups/5 miles a day, is not a start....

Where do you find time to do 1000 push ups, 5 miles and stair routines 5 days out of the week?? What about bag work, mitts, roping, lunges, sparring etc... your talking about a 6 hour workout here.

I never said anything about stairs or just doing that. It is more like 2 hours a day. The boxing in the first hour and then skipping and fitness in the second hour. Run at dawn. It is not practical for people who are not self employed or who do not have an easy job on their own timetable but they can at least do half. Depends how far you want to go really. If you really want to go to the top though, I think you will find very few top pro's who can't do a 1000 press ups and 1200 on stomach without major problems. If it seems daunting to you, then you ain't fit enough to fight.

Get that boxing workout book which has all the top fighters in. Analyse that. Trust me, you need to do alot of fitness work as well as alot of gym work too.

I have several relatives whom are professional boxers (you might have heard of them) and I know what they do vs. what they work themselves up to before a fight.... I have quite a few amatuer fights myself and have been training for about 7 years. I have never routinely done 1000 push ups and 1200 situps per work-out nor do I think it is the most effective way to spend your gym time.

Honest question: Are you saying that it is feasible to do 1000 push ups and 1200 situps in 1 hour right after hitting the bag, mitts, lunges, shadow boxing etc for an hour??

One must remember that muscle recovery is just as important as the work out itself.

Feasible? It's more than feasible and some idiots do more. Occasionally they get burned out. Like everything else in fitness you build up to it. You may know this, but others seem to think I am saying they should be doing it from tomorrow. Where have I said this? It took me a year to build up to it and I think it has helped my conditioning a huge deal. At first I did the huge quantity qorkout on alternate days. After a few months I did it everyday. Nowadays it is routine and if I stop, I find myself unable to keep up with pro's.

Like every other fitness rotuine, you cutback after very intense sparring. Sorry for not mentiongn this before, I assumed it was obvious but now realise not everyone may have seen pro's train. In pro gyms you would **** this out on days when you do not do heavy sparring, ie. most days.

Even alot of am's who only come up for sparing now an then can do alot of press ups. Alot of them have hard day jobs (not a good idea for aspiring champs) but still **** out 500 per day standard. 500 should be easy.
