Hi welcome and good luck in you're training. Just looking over your training you might want to consider working some sprint training in as opposed to all distance. Do the distance, but maybe try to alternate days with sprints.

As far as the only boxing training Tuesdays go, if you are real keen to start, don't be afraid to let the trainers know you would like to step it up sooner. Bearing that in mind, realize too this isn't a race. The skills training will take time. But often if people don't ask for help or something they are looking for in a boxing gym, they don't get it.

Also, make sure to take atleast one day off and do nothing. Zero, Nadda, Ziltch. Sunday looks likes a decent day for it. Give your body a chance to recuperate.

Again, welcome.

Big kid. You'll be 6'3+" 200+ lbs by the time you reach 21. Goodluck with the everyday routine.

@Youngblood I probably put sunday as rest day, thanks for advice and I also try to add sprint work.

@The congressman I think ive hit somewhere close to my maximum height already but hopefully I might end up 6"3

Going to supermarkets/groceries today. I might add a protein shake on the muscle training day and a multivitamin with breakfast. This starts tomorrow.

- Sunday 13th December - I was going to start this tomorrow but I couldn't wait so I ate most of the stuff on my usual food intake list and did a 3 mile run in about 27 minutes which is a bit slow considering my best time is 22:36

I plan on adding something to eat after 5:30 about 8-ish after my run. Probbably some source of dairy/calcium like cottage cheese or milk.

cottage cheese is a good end of a workout day food, because of the slow-digesting casein protein content. I think it is wise of you to consider your protein intakes post workout, as I see you are thinking about supping wth whey also, given the extensive cardio you have planned.

- Monday 14th December - 3 miles in about 27 minutes

- Tuesday 15th December - boxing gym session, I did 3 miles in 23 mins then worked on throwing a jab then jab and straight () and other stuff xD

Wednesday 16 December - I've stuck to my diet but I havn't exercised.

Thursday 17 December - Same to above.

I break up from school tomorrow for afew weeks so I will be more focoused on training. My boxing gym has closed for Christmas and New year and it re-opens on the 6th of Januany. I'm thinking of stuff to add that doesnt require a gym. Maybey I'll see if I can turn my gargage into boxing gym.

Here is a good thread for strength conditioning. All bodyweight/plyometrics stuff. No gym required. Read thru whole thread as there is lots there.

For considering how to do them, personally I use a tabata based protocol. Where I go from one exercise to another, usually series/sets of 10-12 exercises doing 30 secs per each. You can take a 10 or so sec break in between each exercise to replicate. At the end of each set a 1 min break.

Start with one set, then maybe 2...upwards to 4 or so as you progress. This is very taxing. But it will build strength and explosiveness. I'd consider a well-balanced look at overall body work, core, legs, upperbody and try to mix it up a bit within the sets when choosing what to do, making sure you are targetting all areas.

Be sure to fuel your workout properly by loading up on carbs 2 hrs or so before, and getting some carbs but more importantly protein in you after. A whey protein shake is best 5-10 mins after workout, but if not that, then some other protein rich food.

Just some thoughts to consider for strength training for boxing.

I hate to disappoint you guys but last week I haven't done a thing. You can blame the ice-covered roads for my lack of running but no excuse for my devouring of chocolate and sitting on my ass all day playing fallout 3 and fifa 10 (Surprisingly I've remained at the same weight, maybe my body make it hard to go higher and lowering than 156). Hope you all had a merry christmas.

28th December 2009 - It re-starts here. I've added odourless garlic tablets into diet because I have poor circulation and suppose the more blood flowing the better I can move.

I hope the ice-clears. I want to run and thanks Youngblood for telling me about that thread, gonna add protein shake at 8:00 pm after my training.
