Week 1, Day 2 Fight preparation

Today I was lazy and decided to only do minute drills. I did three rounds of 30 seconds each of the following:
Burpees
Mountain climbers
Jumping jacks
Push-ups
Bw Squats
Run in place

Cardiovascularly it was easy. I died on the mountain climbers and the push-ups but otherwise, I finished pretty strong. I think next time I'll do shadowboxing instead of running in place. I need to do more skill work but I just don't have the time right now. Allegedly, conditioning is more important in amateur matches then skill. I guess we'll see.

Week 1, day 1 Prepping for the fight

Today's torture:
Started with 4 200 yard sprints

Then moved on to the strength routine: (Three sets of five, 2 minute rest between)
Double 28Kg Squats
24Kg Clean and presses
Pull-ups
Push-ups (sets of 15)
28Kg rows

On the third set, I think I shorted out my neural network because I was done. My form went to crap and I had trouble cleaning the weights. It was like a power outage. Kinda sucked. I finished my strength routine with 24Kg snatches for two minutes straight.

I then did core: (30 secs each, 5 sets, 2 minutes rest)
Crunches
Double V-ups
torso twists with a 12Kg
Supermans

Plank for 1:30

I am hurting but I'm not completely destroyed. Tomorrow morning's workout should do me in pretty good.

Bad blogger, no biscuit

So I haven't blogged in a while. Just been too busy. Last night I went and trained with a professional boxer. It was ugly as I ran out of gas. I have alot of conditioning to do before I'm ready for my fight. On the plus side, I made it for a solid 30 minutes before getting smoked, but it's not enough.
I think I'm gonna have to drop the Convict Conditioning for a while as my focus needs to be more on stamina then strength. Strength is great but if it doesn't last, what good does it me?
Apparently my technique, especially my punches, is alright, but I still need alot of work.
