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.

More Convict conditioning

My arm seems to have healed up nicely but I'm still gonna rest it a little longer and only do light KB work. Today I did my Convict Conditioning. I moved up the rep range to the next progression but only kept it at one set. Going slowly. Some of them actually made me exert myself a little. Oh well.

Pain yo

Didn't work out Christmas or the weekend. Tried doing it today and my arm burned pretty bad. Top that off with my head being on fire and an inability to stay off the toilet for longer ten minutes, I decided to take it extremely easy. So I took a light KB and did some cleans. Seems to have helped. We'll see.

Convict workout

Tried convict conditioning for the first time today. I just did the beginner standard for all six movements. Really, really easy but I guess that's kinda the point. My left arm hurts from the KB workout on monday. I guess the supporting muscles weren't strong enough. Oh well.

Trying to blog again

So I haven't been posting my workouts. My bad. Life's just been a tad bit hectic. I have been still working out pretty hard though and have been seeing the fruits of my labor. My core is more prounouced and I've made some pretty big strides in my shoulder strength. So much more work to do.
On Wednesday, I'm going to incorporate Dragon Door's Convict Conditioning into my workouts. It should be interesting to see how it works out (No pun intended). I'm going to start slow and work my way up like the book suggests. I know I could crank out alot more and skip ahead, but I don't want to. Oh well, here's today's workout:
3 rounds (2 minutes rest between round) of
5 24kg Clean and presses (R/L)
5 Pull-ups
5 Double 24 kg front squats

Finished with 3 rounds of 20 32kg swings with 1 minute rest in between round
