Thread: mike tyson program

hi can someone tell what mike tyson's daily program was what he did every day. And i also have a other questing did mike tyson took weight when he was in his prime (1980- 1990)
thank you

Might I ask why?

Your training program should be tailored for you and not Mike Tyson.

And he started using weights predominently when he went to prison, he was just naturally built like that and Cus put a fine edge on him.

At 13-14 he was the same size as me at 22 years old...

If I had no job or anything else to worry about I'd fucking love to train everyday like that.

Good point though, try fitting that shit onto your daily routine

No you wouldn't....No offense...

When Mike was young in the Catskill camp w Cuis his whole life from sun up to sun down involved rigourus training....

Mike may have been one of the most completly trained fighters of all time

I think its more like this. It seems like it backfired on him in the long run.

You are confusing mental breakdown with physical

Actually watched a tyson documentary this morning on the biography channel and they had they micky rooney on.

Was saying how early tyson used to run 6 miles a day more than any welterweight,, middleweight etc they had in the gym at the time.

Also showed how nervous mike got before a fight and how he had serious confidence issues and struggled to look someone in the eye when they were talking to him due to that.

He went from running 6miles a day to 1-2miles which is still pretty good though you do realise why mike was indeed the animal he was back in the mid/late 80s as he was almost superhuman!!

How did it back fire? Please explain.

Mike Tyson was one of the most complete fighters in the history of the sport. In his prime he had a superb jab, his combination punching was precise and blinding with speed for a HW. He worked the whole opponent body, head.

His stamina was fantastic and his chin was way above average.

I agree, in his prime Tyson was the complete package IMO.

The two are very related.

Monotonous and rigorous physical training and lifestyle could have possibly contributed to a lot of his problems... how ever fantastic it made him.

This is what I was suspecting ^^^ but we'll never really know. I agree that young Tyson was one of the most complete fighters in history but unfortunately that was short lived.
