    Default Strength Training.

    It's a commonly held opinion that weight training daily isn't a great idea when preparing for a boxing fight as it will make you muscle bound and cumbersome..
    I've started taking a little protein shake after every training to prevent my muscle breaking down too much. I'm wondering whether or not this will affect my boxing If I increase the amount of press-ups, pull ups and sit ups I perform...Assuming the protein shake kicks in and promotes muscle growth and I increase the reps and sets I do will I actually be hurting my boxing

    The question is....Under the same logic that disallows weights daily, is it a bad idea to do push ups situps and pull ups daily

    If you work to your optimun 3 times a week, will 5 days optimum give improvements. No it wont WHY,contraction has a lot to do with it and Gravity dont help.

    Actually i've been confused about the same thing Hitmandonny I don't understand why with Abs particularly everyone says to work them everyday but all the other muscle groups you're not supposed to.

    I would have thought the same rule would apply to the Abs?

    At the moment I don't do an Ab workout everyday but I guess the routine I've come up with is reasonably intense and covers all the muscles I know how to target. I can't really compare the difference between doing them daily and not because I'm doing a different routine. It seems to be working ok though ............ suggestions/ explanations?

    When you say contractions Scrap do you mean that the muscle needs time to relax and lengthen again?

    This has been on my mind too since I've been thinking lately that a lot of my misalignments seem to be related to things that are too tight and contracted eg hip flexors.

    How does that work with normal boxing training like bag work and sparring etc? I aim to train 6 days a week for boxing but I take it I should still consider how intense I should make those sessions and alternate power days with say technique days maybe?

    Simply, amuscle generates power through contraction the more you do it without stretching the less contraction will happen long term and the more likelyhood of injury occuring and less likelyhood of it getting rid of the Bi product of hard work latic acid. Its bad preperation for increasing VO 2 Max its best to train smart long term. If not injury will occur, when injured its hard to stay fit, even harder to get fit. remember scar tissue on muscle doesnt repair theres always a problem long term.

    With Scrap here, I had to learn the hard way to get out of the 'no pain no gain mentality'

    Not everday should be like a Rocky Montague and if your muscles are sore and tender from previous training let them bounce back first.

    Don't agree with training your abs everyday sharla, but the reason why you're probably hearing different things for different muscles is because of the different muscle make up of certain muscle groups...

    I'm useless with the names but for example your arms will be made up of mostly one type whilst your legs and core others.

    You have type I, Type II and then there's Type II a and Type II b... or something along those likes... ages since I've been over this

    Thanks Scrap and Adam,

    I looked up the muscle types you were talking about and found this:

    Muscle Fiber Types and Training

    I guess reading that it sounds like maybe your abs tend to be made up of a higher proportion of slow twitch muscle fibres since they have a role in maintaining posture etc and that means they're likely to be more resistant to fatigue so you can work them harder/ more often maybe.

    You were right on the money there Adam

    Cut the runs down to 3 miles and up the pace just twice a week. Sprints also twice a week try !5 sec sprints with 30 secs recovery x 10 warming up first 2 laps of the track then stretch take your time stretching. If you are in the gym 5 times a week thats enough its being selective with what you do which is important

    Cool Scrap, Perhaps I should just increase the time I spend on technique instead.
