Where do you people find the time to get all this done ???
We have sessions at my gym from 7:30-9 every weekday so I go there after I get off work (usually 8-5:30 or 6), and 9-10am on saturdays . Some days I get up early to do some biking, crunches, etc before work or I'll do them after I come back from the gym and eat dinner. Theres also a gym where I work so every now and then I use that during my lunch break, although not so often these days since I usually make 5 classes a week. Saturdays and Sundays I try to get a longer run or a solid sprint session in or at least some long cycling sessions. I have a stationary bike in my apartment which is easier on my knees than running and also lets me watch tv or a movie or something while I use it, so that makes it a bit easier to at least get some cardio.
So basically I don't get much free time but I love doing this stuff so I don't mind. The problem I do have is that I do most of my training and such pretty late at night and then eat after that so I usually end up being awake until 1 or 2am and then I have to get up by 6 am at the latest, so I don't get enough sleep during the week. I try to catch up on weekends though and every now and then I take a night off and just crash early.

Hi Gutbuster, how's your left hook coming along?
The hook has gotten a little better I think. I've been throwing it a bit more in sparring, getting more combinations in as well. I still don't throw it to the body enough and I tend to get wild with it at times but I think I'm making progress. Thanks for asking, got any tips to speed the progress along? I'm trying to work on throwing it a little further sometimes too... I tend to swing it tight which is good up close but limits its use at any range.Quote:

Well, I was out of town over the weekend and had family visiting that I got guilted into spending time with every night until Thursday (not that I don't love my family but I was hoping to get a night or two for the gym). So I came back on sparring night and had a decent session with a guy who just moved to the area but had been training at sugar ray's gym in md. This was good since my gym has been a little low on sparring partners lately. I've been doing sessions with a trainer but he's not there all that much at the times i go. Anyway, here's the workout (rounds were 2 minutes):
1 round speed bag
2 rounds double end bag
2 mile run
3 rounds sparring
1 mile jog
3 rounds heavy bag
50 burpees
I forgot, but I did get a very light workout in on Wednesday once I got home from seeing mi familia

I think there was another set but I don't remember.

Had family visiting and didn't get to do much this weekend. All I managed to get in was half an hour on the bile, 500 crunches and 200 pushups. Family obligations should be out of the way for now so hopefully I will have more entries and fewer excuses over the next few weeks.
8/17
We basically just did a lot of sprinting. I don't remember all of it but I'll write down the stuff I do remember. The whole thing lasted about 80 minutes.
100 yards, 5 burpees, 100 yards, etc 5 times with no rest
around 5 200 yard races where everyone but the winner of each race did 10 burpess before the next one
100 yards 10 pushups 100 yards
100 yards 10 burpees 100 yards *2
1200 yard relay race with partner (600 yards each)
1 on 1 200 yard races - losers do 30 burpees
winners of 200 yard races did 1 on 1 600 yard races - losers do 2 miles
I lost my 600 yard race so I just did the 2 miles and was done, but I think the winners did a few more races or something.
8/18
400 crunches
100 pushups

Just for the record here I found out about some changes at the gym last week. The main trainer I've been working with has left so the program is changing up a bit with a new coach and the owner getting more involved, at least for now. While they figure things out it seems the classes will focus more on conditioning. We'll have some skills classes with the owner this week so hopefully the new perspectives will be helpful.

Got some iffy news about my gym last night. Since the main coach just quit or was fired or something the owner has basically taken over training. He's been pushing us hard which is good... especially with sprinting since I had been trying to get more sprinting in on my own lately and its helpful to be doing it with a coach to keep me honest. He's also said he's going to focus on going through the basics with everyone and getting us ready to compete by january.
So far, so good... but he also said he wouldn't have us sparring for awhile. Right now it seems there isn't anyone for me to spar anyway except maybe a new guy from another gym... I've only seen him there once though so I don't know if he'll be back. There was another coach who sparred me usually at least once a week but I haven't seen him for a few weeks either. The owner of the gym is talking about taking us out to this gym in a nearby state that has produced a number of national and gg champions to have us spar top level guys, which is great, but to me it makes no sense to keep us from sparring before that and then basically throw us to the wolves. An as*kicking really isnt my concern, I'm just worried about not being able to spar for several months and losing all the progress I've been making.
So I think I'm going to at least give things a week or two to settle down and will try to talk to the owner about getting some sparring before I start looking for another gym, but sparring seems too crucial (and I'm too old) to not get any ringtime for the next few months.

Man,this is an awesome log.Kep up the work my friend.
Thanks Gamo.
8/30 Update:
I'm pretty frustrated right now because I got fairly sick the last few days and haven't been able to do anything. I went to a party on Saturday where there were a few people who were getting over bronchitus or something... the weird part is that the party was saturday and I was just feeling like i had a little cold until tuesday when my throat and head got real bad and i got a fever and whatnot. I think maybe the extra workout monday lowered my resistance. I'm mostly over it now though... still congested and coughing some but the fever, sore throat and headache are almost gone. I'm thinking about doing a light workout tonight and then hopefully getting back into things tomorrow. Unfortunately this is right before I go out of town so it'll be hard to get good training in next week too.
I've been slacking on the updates here. I didn't do too much in the past couple of weeks since i was sick and then out of town at the beach. I got some running in on the beach each day but that was about it. I'm not gonna try to remember the workouts I did this week so I'll just pick up with last night. I decided to switch gyms and I'm pretty pumped about the new place. The location is a lot better for me, the price is a lot better, and they have a few pros, some amateurs and some newer people for me to spar with. The two coaches I've met also have lots of boxing experience and seem like they can teach me a lot. The head coach was talking about getting me registered soon so I can get to fighting. At my old place it seemed like i was the most experienced fighter there (with like 6 months now) and I was kind of getting the idea that the owner/coach was going to start me out in pro fights. Plus I was getting no sparring and the only technical work we were doing was jabbing eachothers hands for maybe 10 minutes a couple nights a week. The conditioning was real good though, and I like everyone there so it was a tough decision, but I figure I'm too old to d*** around if I'm gonna get some fights in.
9/13
(This place does 3 minute rounds with 30 seconds rest, but tonight we worked through the rest periods during the rope and shadowboxing. So 3 rounds of rope is 11 minutes straight rather than 9 with breaks.)

3 rounds of rope
2 or 3 rounds shadowboxing
5 or 6 rounds of pads
2 round on heavy bag - doing whatever

20 crunches
a few other ab things and some stretching

There was a kickboxing workout scheduled before boxing so I was going to work out with them too and double it up. Unfortunately no one else came for boxing and a few people wanted to sign up at the gym after kickboxing. I worked on the double end bag and jumped rope for 20-30 minutes thinking the trainer would work with me after signing them up but then he said he had to leave soon. The kickboxing workout had some boxing though and was still god cardio and endurance work.
warmup: loosen up, stretch, rope, jumping jacks, shadowboxing - about 10 minutes total
The we did about 35-40 minutes of different combinations on bags, including kicks, knees and elbows which may be helpful for working on rotation at least.
Ended with 5 or 6 sets of 10 pushups (wide hands, knuckles, clap, fingertip, regular, wrist) and 6 or 7 ab exercises followed by some stretching
Next I did the double end and jumped rope as I talked about above.

smh... I've been going to kickboxing when its scheduled before boxing for the extra workout but the boxing sessions so far have been pretty sparse... last night the trainer was basically just doing stuff on his computer and calling out instructions now and then... i'm starting to think i made a bad decision switching but at this point i just need to make the best of it.. At least i'm working on endurance and hitting the bag a lot.
