Legs and shoulders....

[Migs]

I notice whenever I spar or hit the heavy bag for an extended period of time that my legs get very weak and I become flat footed and less mobile. Along with that, my left should tends to give out from throwing tons of jabs. I do my running and continue to try and throw lots of punches when I'm on the bag but I never feel like my legs or shoulders build in stamina. Am I doing something wrong? What can I do to better condition those specific areas? I can't box well if my legs give out and I can't move around and go flat footed, nor can I box well if my jab arm dies and becomes lazy or nonexistent. Help a brother out.

if you find yourself gasing out, then pace your self more consistently, dont go all out throwing hay makers for the 1st minute none stop, that will gas anyone out.

Point taken. For the most part I do what you said but I do put a lot of power into my hooks and straight rights. Any ideas on what I can do to strengthen my shoulders with emphasis on the ability to jab more? Is just continuing to throw jabs as a means to build stamina enough?

on the assisted pull up machine i give myself somthing really easy then do like 6 sets of 20 or 30 as fast as i can with like 15 sec break between each sets. because i dont want the weight to crash and im trying to go fast ill push my self downward as hard as i can when im almost at the top then just pull my self up as fast as i can. trying to make 1 movement each second or less

best conditiong to throw more punches is to throw more punches,

I would use 2.5-5lb dumbells while shadowing for 8 3min rounds, and finish of with 5x25 reps of burpees.

that routine above is pretty intensive for conditioning.

That is a great routine. I like it, but to piggyback, switch it out and do the following:

3 rds with 6 or 8 lb dumbs, just working your footwork with your guard up. Never put ur hands down. Then 2 rds doing blocks (parrys, blocking your ribs, and the sides of ur head), then finish with shadowboxing no weight, throwing as fast as you can.

I have big problems with the legs too, not shoulders. I've been running lots of long sprints instead of so much legwork and it's helping
