  • Beginner seeking advice for training routine

    What's up guys
    Been interested in joining a kickbox/boxing gym by me and started to practice at home shadow boxing and hitting the heavy bag and running...but that's all I got...I don't know what's effective to do after hitting the heavy bag. im asking for some effective workouts to follow shadow box/heavy bag sessions...?

    I'm more interested in boxing right now and building my stamina...I wanna make sure my arms can stay up and last to save some time in the future (hopefully)

    Should I be doing pull-ups, dips, shoulder shrugs after punch sessions?
    Bench right after? Run right after? Idk I have no fighting knowledge.

    please all advice welcomed...I know nada

    Although this often gets debated here, light weight and high reps are the way to go. Lifting heavy kind of works against you sometimes, in that you can (again, debatable) lose flexibility. Plus since you're just starting out technique is way more important than how much muscle you have.

    Kettle bell workouts and calisthenics are really good. Honestly working the back, legs and core is going to give you more power in your punches than just working your arms. Remember that although it may not feel like it at first, all your power is coming form the base.

    Another thing is if you're doing boxing competitively, you're only going to be in for a few rounds. Same thing with street fights if you're looking for self defence. Stamina's really important but so is working on explosiveness. Jogging is always great, and so is skipping, but nothing hits harder than hill sprints IMO. Best thing to do for you is get into a gym and your coach will see your weaknesses. Don't worry about not having enough experience (or none at all or not being in shape, as soon as you join a gym everything will sort itself out.
