New to Boxing & Forum w/ some ?s
First of all, I'd like to say whats up guys? I'm new to this forum, although I've been a member of the bodybuilding.com forums which are set up just like this (except for bodybuilding info instead of boxing of course) and I had a few questions.
I'm in a situation similar to Dan23 is with the transitioning from weightlifting & barely any cardio to boxing training which is A LOT of aerobic and anaerobic activity. I have been reading up on the responses in Dan23's "Transitioning" thread too, and was going to post there, but I didn't want to jack his thread.
So basically I have been weightlifting for about a year and a half going very heavy usually doing exercises 3 x 6-8 reps and making sure that 6th or 8th rep was to the point of failure (which was probably ****** because I think it really taxed my CNS because I'd be tired, weak, and no *** drive most of the time) with every set. I also didn't do cardio because I was trying to gain weight and was small as it was. That was for about a year of the weightraining, but for the last half or a year or so I'd play basketball which was some cardio or go for a bike ride, and the last like 2 months I've been jumping rope, hitting the heavy bag, playing basketball, and running occasionally. I just joined a gym and my dads friend is an ex profighter and he's going to train me.
What my goal really is is to drop weight (mostly fat if possible) even though I'm not fat at all, but I'm only 5'5.5" and like 143lbs and with boxing I'd probably be fighting guys a lot taller then me at that weight. I also want to boost my stamina and endurance A LOT, and just altogether become a good boxer and be quick with my hands. I want to know the best way to go about this without going too hard at first because I dont want to pull myself into an overtraining state. I know everyone says to run, but how long of a run should I start with and then move to? what about the intensity? and how many times a week?
I also would like to lift some weights too while training, and from what I hear is for weightlifting to be beneficial to the boxer, 2 days of weight training is plenty and keep it in the 12 rep range, is this correct? Can I still do bodyweight exercises like pullups, pushups, crunches, etc everyday?
BTW if it matters, my diet is pretty much clean. I like to call myself a 75% clean eater. and Supplements I use are just ON's 100% whey protein, L-glutamine powder, gnc megamen multivitamin, and I just started using a creatine called Green Bulge.
