Ok a few days training to catch up on here I suspect.
Friday:
(Olympic Boxing Club)
Bagwork;
10 x 2 minute rounds. Spaced ut a different times....No problems
Shadow Boxing;
8 x 2 minute rounds. Again at different times, not very beneficial.
Roadwork;
Was frustrated with training so went for a mile and came back
Padwork;
3 x 2 minute rounds with another guy. Not good technically, but got for fitness. I wasn't fit to go three with him before, this time he was found wanting air.
Calisthenics;
Some pressups.

Saturday;
(Galway City Gym)

It was a bad day at training.
The guy I was training with majorly wimped out when it got hard and I slowed for him like a fool.
Irratating and I'll remeber that in the future.
Pat says he's not cut out for it. He's got all the physical tools but lacks heart.

Sunday was a day of rest.
I got up this morning (Monday) there was snow everywhere and it made for a lovely run. The air was so fresh and clean, it just had to be good.
I did the "boxers jog" four miles, finishing at a sprint. Nice run.

Will be at training later this evening.
Have to review nutrition.

I might try and get a fight or two in England during the summer, but generally I'm just trying to keep in shape and learn some new tricks!

Gotta admire a marathon runner, whats the regime like?

Training today;
Olympic Boxing Club, Galway

Warmup;

Bagwork;
3 x 2minute rounds nice and fast in combination

Skipping;
3 x 2 minute rounds, nice and fast

Shadowboxing;
4 x 2 minute rounds with partner

Defence Drills;
4 x 2 minute rounds, basic with partner.

Sparring;
3 x 2 minute rounds getting beat on hard. Swelled up and disheartened afterward.

Bagwork;
1 x 3 minute round on the heavybag.

cooldown;

Very disheartened, gotta start getting some instructional training.

You have very good footwork and you're good at walking your opponent down. I know its only sparring...but if I were to criticise I'd say work on using your jab to set up your combinations and protect your body more. Just an impression I got from that short clip...

As I said it's only light sparring and I'm not sharp, but I'm pleased you could see something positive in it.
Thank you

Good shit Donny.

I might well need some help Ono!

I want to put on some lean muscle, replacing body fat with muscle and remaining in the rregions of Light Middle.

I'm gonna target my arms, chest and shoulders...any ideas?

Nighttime funeral?
