Rick Hatton's Training Program
Monday to Friday (only roadwork on weekends)
Gets up at 9
Full stretch and Warm-up
5-6 Mile Run (at 7pm)
Eats cereal, toast and a cup of tea for breakfast
On day of fight, goes to local cafe for sausages, eggs, bacon and toast
Eats Chicken, pasta, and lots of vegies for dinner, along with water and vitamins
Goes to bed at 10
Usually goes to the gym at 12:30 and leaves at 3:30
Warm Up -10 mins stretchin
Shadow boxing -3x3 min rounds
Skipping -10mins non stop
Body Belt -4 to 12x3 min rounds (depending on stage of camp)
He does this exercise with his trainer. Trainer wears 6-inch padded vest
and focus pads. They continuously throw shots at eachother. He does floor
work on alternate days (speed, heavy bags, etc.)
Bag Bar -4x3 min rounds (1 min rest between rounds)
Uses two pieces of equipment for this exercise: heave bag and 'bar' - a
heavy steel box channel with steel tripod legs at each end. The bar is almost
waist high off the ground, and he starts by jumping over the bar from side
to side for 1 min, then goes to the heavy bag and punches for another min,
then back to the bar for another min. He then rests for a min and starts
over.
Stretch down -10 mins
Ricky also has a last, intense session of training camp on week before the fight. He always does 15x3 min rounds on the body belt. He says its a confidence boost for him, as, when he's done, he knows he is ready to fight everyone.
hope this was useful/enjoyable, lemme know if you want more!
