How Do You Train?

[The Italian Stallion]

The title explains it all.

I do 100 sit-ups, 30 push ups, 110 pounds on the bench press with 12 reps, yoga, 130 on the leg press, shadow boxing, i make the peanut bag sound like a machine gun, I spar a little, I let it out on a punching bag, and i try to run two miles a day. I plan on joining the "Hard Knocks" boxing gym in Phoenix really soon so i can expand on my skills.

I eat no junk food.

My day usually consists of

MEDICINE BALL WARMUP
Shoulder/Core Prep
Hold a 10-lb ball with both hands, arms extended in front of you, and move it in 10 large clockwise circles. Then move it in 10 counterclockwise circles. Raise the ball above your head and repeat.
Medicine Ball Squat
Hold the ball behind your head with both hands and squat. Two sets of 20
Medicine Ball Calf Raise
Hold the ball behind your head and go up on tiptoe. Two sets of 20

PILATES-20 MINUTES

SPEED AND ENDURANCE
6-uphill sprints up and run backwards downhill on 6 different hills to give me a different incline for each one.

Rubber Ball Hand-Speed Drill
Stand in the middle of a large, open room. Bounce a small superball on the floor and catch it on the first bounce. Repeat, but bounce it a little farther away or a little softer, so you have to move even quicker to catch it. Keep varying bounces. Five minutes

3 rounds Jump Rope
3 rounds heavy bag
3 rounds shadow boxing
3 1 minute rounds of punch out drills
1 minute round of speedbag to cool down

Abdominal Work
30x4 crunches
30x4 bicycle crunches
30x4 Standing Twists

3-6 Rounds of sparring every or every other day.

I don't know if it did or didn't but i haven't seen it around for a while so it prolly did. Do you have any recommendations of gyms that are close to Scottsdale?

Depends for the length of time in bout , and whether it is amatuer or professional. I mean, theres no point in doing 10 x 3 min sparring, skip 5rounds and 5 rounds on bag.... if you are doing 4 x 2min amatuer bout. title bouts would require intense workouts!

Yeah, I was told it had, which is surprising because it was a nice, well-equiped gym.Not many people, but I usually went in late morning, not afternoon.Prime time is usually late afternoon/early evening.

I moved back to Michigan, and aside from a few weeks during New Year's, I don't get back much.I have no idea what gyms are out there now.I trained at Hard Knock's for a bit, and was looking into the Madison Garden gym before we moved back.I had heard there was a really good coach out Scottsdale way though.Look here:

An aquaintance of mine fights pro out of Phoenix, I'll ask him if he can recommend a good gym.

My training routine:

1) Get up at 6 am and watch the training scenes in Rocky IV.

2) Drink raw eggs

3) Go to boxingscene.com and chat for an hour

4) Punch the heavy bag for 15 minutes

5) Look at pictures of hot naked senoritas, and tell myself if I don't get in shape I'll never get one

6) Go to work 9-5(I'm an accountant)and daydream I'm Ali or Tyson

7) Come home, eat diner, and drink 3-4 Guinesses

8) Watch boxing on television or downloads on computer

9) Go to sleep and do it all over again!
