  • Suggestions on my Noobish Training

    I'd appreciate any suggestions and criticism, be savage if you please.
    Im 6 ft (183cm), 156 pounds (app. 71 kg), ectomorph body (slender; low fat, long arms n legs), 21 years old.
    Monday, Wednesday, Friday: These are boxing gym days. I start training with 40 mins of running in the olympic running track (just by the gym), in fast speed but not too fast, then i go in to train for next 70 mins. I do everything with the gloves on. Our rounds are 5 minutes with 1 minute breaks. During the breaks I do push ups or abs. After the warm up I start with shadow boxing for like 4 rounds and then proceed to the wall bag, after that I do a little bit more shadow boxing and proceed to the heavy bag then again shadow boxing. I don't train for long on heavy bag, just a few rounds but I train heavy on it. Occasionally I spar but seldom do any mitts. For the last 10 mins before I leave I do abs (inspired by Pacquiao's), push ups, and squats till I can't do anymore. I used to stretch my legs much as to give a high kick, but I don't do it anymore. I don't lift or use any weight, some believe it makes one slower.

    Tuesday,Thursday, Saturday:
    In these days the gym is closed but I have a terrace. I train in 2 of these 3 days. I train after the sun has gone like 8 pm. I start with 3x3 min rounds of jumping rope then do an hour of shadow boxing with the gloves on but don't do any strength training like push ups, abs because I want my body to recover.

    Diet: On the gym days (mon, wed, fri) I boil a complete chicken breast or seldom consume a tuna fish can. I consume 3 boiled eggs, fruits, vegatables and dairies everyday. No alcohol or smoking. I also have a sugar addiction, I consume so much. Don't use any protein shakes or supplements. Im not trying to put on muscle mass but I want them to be stronger.

    If your trainer designed that routine for you then its fine.

      protein shakes wont build muscle mass, training high volume with weights will build muscle mass, so dont worry about that. It looks like a solid routine for me it would be too much, if you feel you are making progress then keep doing it

        I'd try and do as much as possible to curb your sugar intake. Figure out ways of getting a bit of a sweet fix, without the processed sugar though. It's bad for you and for your training, recovery, and mind.

        Try eating melons when you feel like something sweet, and also some kind of sweet herbal tea. Watermelon, rockmelon and honeydew is one of the my favourite sweet snacks. Absolutely delicious.

          I'm not exactly sure on what you are trying to accomplish. You want to build strength without the muscle or something? My points would be these:

          - add at least one more rest day
          - fix your nutrition: your work capacity is related to your nutrition. If you do not eat right, it will be hard to progress on high volume routines.
          - add pull ups
          - Replace your (weightless) squat with something like jump squats or box jumps.
          - For push ups focus on the right form. Don't flare your elbows out and don't go as fast as you can go (often people try go get more reps by using momentum). The push should be explosive (as hard as you can), and the downward motion should be controlled.
          - Keep track of what you are doing and don't just 'go as long as you can go'. The goal is not to be as tired as possible. Fatigue doesn't build strength, progression does. It will be hard to progress if you kill your body each time. Also, if you don't keep track your training will often be chaotic as you will do what you feel like.

          If you do it right pull ups, push ups and squats can build a solid enough base for boxing purposes.
