Time for me to work HARD...

[Spacey1991]

So, basically... I was told Tuesday that I could make the 8 o'clock session at Boxing (advanced class... where all the amateur fighters go) if I keep up the hard work, and they said they will put in a word.

Yesterday, the coach told me and my mate that we aint miles away from being at the 8 o'clock session... and all we need to do is build on our stamina, advising us to run most nights. This is my message telling me I need to work harder than ever, I am gonna run most nights... do press ups/sit ups every night as usual and do more excersises.

Can anyone recommend any other excersises to do at night? At the moment I run, do press ups and sit ups, and punch with 2kg hand weights...

if you want that next level stamina and in addition build up your legs back shoulders tris and forearms try adding complexes to your routine.

its at the bottom the main routine but i do the rest times differently. i jump rope or shadowbox or throw power shots to the bag for 1 minute then go straight back for the next set. this is a whole new type of cardio pain. this will test your heart physically and mentally because the workout usually wont max out fatigue the muscles that are being worked. it will max out your cardio vascular system because of the combination of compound and isolation work. when your heart rate is at 200bpm but your muscles can still work its a matter of pushing yourself to keep going until the end. i got a vid too if your interested. it wasnt as perfect as i would like just because i did it comming back from not doing it for a while but i can pm it to you for an example of how its done.

Thanks for this, and the video would be a fantastic idea if you don't mind? I go Boxing Tues, Thurs, Fri... and run around 2 miles on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, but I have been a little slack on it the past week... me and my friend got back to it about Wednesday/Monday time. I just ran 1.5 miles, was gonna do 2 but I had only eaten my dinner 45 mins ago so I decided to run a little less cause I didn't want to be sick haha.

The video would be great though thanks...

The fastest way to boxing stamina gains is to A) Box and B) Anaerobic conditioning. Your runs are fine but they are mostly aerobic in nature, one of my favorite forms of conditioning is minute drills. Pick 6 exercises and perform them each for 30 seconds one after another as fast as you can then rest for 1 minute, repeat at least 4 times. A routine that made a huge difference even though I was already in great shape was this one:

30 secs burpees
30 secs shadowboxing
30 secs burpees
30 secs shadowboxing
30 secs burpees
30 secs shadowboxing
60 secs rest
x 4-5 rounds

It worked really well for me because the burpees (with pushups) would tire everything out a bit more than it would just shadowboxing so I got good at forcing myself to keep the punches snappy and my footwork fast. I always went hard during the shadowboxing portion and it paid off. I didnt spend any time thinking about what I was doing when shadowboxing I just went through every combination I really work on at a fast pace. I save the 'thinking' for when Im working on my skills. I would average 10 burpees every 30 seconds so shoot to maintain that kind of pace, with the shadowboxing I always tried to throw 2-3 punches every second (60-90 every 30 seconds). It seriously made a big difference in the ring after doing it 3 times a week with my running 3 times a week as well (seperate days).

That's a pretty intense routine. Ross Enamait?

Thanks for the help, makes sense... I will try this, probably for less rounds at first though...

Good for you?

I was asking for help unless you can't read? I just explained the situation so people know why and can give a reasonable response and so they know what to say and what not to say... the help has been great so far.

Can anybody else give me some advice please?

yea i worked somewhat of the same thing with Lou Collazos strength and conditioning coach.. its pretty brutal except for the 3 shadowboxing is was mountain climbers, jumping jacks, and pushups in between the burpees
