Hi
I'll keep this as brief as possible.
My routine is like this:
I do weightlifting aimed at gaining strength throughout the week including squats, bench, deadlift etc and two boxing sessions:
Boxing A - 12 x 4 minute rounds, 1 minute rest in between each round, on bag
Boxing B - short bursts of left/right on bag, then hooks, then body shots (all on bag), finish off with ab/neck work
Routine is like:
Mon - Boxing A
Tue - Weightlifting, Boxing B
Wed - Weightlifting, Boxing A
Thu - Boxing B
Fri - Weightlifting, Boxing A
Sat - Weightlifting, Boxing B
Sun - Rest
I do no running as of now. After weightlifting I do a couple of bodyweight exercises but I also currently do no circuits/bodyweight exercises.
I've been doing this the past few weeks as I haven't been able to get to my boxing club. I've been hitting it fairly hard I'd say, but today (Wednesday) I got down to the club and did sparring, hadn't done sparring in a while.
to be honest I felt ****. I got in the ring and just felt weak, and dizzy - was it nervous energy? I feel gutted, and it's getting to me a lot already. I really want to do well but I was too nervous to throw punches, felt like I was slow and weak and dizzy?! Pissed me off when I got out. I feel like I have potential, but I just felt light and useless today - and got hit, whilst I was barely hitting the other guy - and he was lighter/younger than me. Is it just nerves?
What am I doing wrong? How do I increase speed, endurance, power, everything?
Thanks a lot!
Side question: will dropping bodyfat (and minimal muscle/strength) and therefore weight, make me punch and move faster?
Also, if it was nerves, is there anything I can do to toughen my mindset? agh.
Thanks, sorry for all the text.
