Hustling Hat's training log

[hustlinghat]

Hi guys I thought I would use this to keep myself accountable in my training.

I use to compete competitively (armatures) and haven't been training for the past few years. I will spare you guys my issues but in the last few years life beat me down. Lost 2 people I cared about, spiralled into depression and alcohol abuse, lost my job and tried killing myself and lost the will to live.

I'm on the way to recovery in that regards and trying to build my life back up. My therapist suggested I focus on things post depressed me enjoy and training was one of them also my parents keep shoving Tyson Fury's story down my throat and they really think that the sport that I once loved can be a great tool. So that's' the reason for this log, to keep myself accountable.

I will be training boxing 3-4 times a week as well as weight training ( my body is a mess right now and I look like a starving crack addict). I will post all my workouts here and thoughts etc

Thank for reading

Today's gym workout

Deadlift: 5x4 with 130kg/286lbs and then worked up to 1x5 143kg/315lbs (which is a PB 5rm)

Deficit deadlift: 2x5 with 114kg/251lbs

Sumo Deadlift: 1x5 with 122kg/269lbs

5xRows
4x DB rows
5xpull ups


6 sets of Bicep work

As you can tell my goal is to become stronger and also put weight back on so I will be focusing on the compound lifts and running an athlete version of 5/3/1

Boxing training today

Warm up
3 rounds on the pads with the trainer. Not happy with how this went, timing felt off and didn't have any pop. Trainer also commented that I was throwing lazy shots. Guess muscle memory isn't that fast.
8 rounds on the bag focusing on my jab and footwork
3 rounds shadow boxing in the mirror making sure I fully extended my shots.
Circuit to end the session

Life can knock down even the toughest of us.

I wish you the best of luck on your road back up.
