Punching heavybag, and doing sittups, EVERYDAY?

[Youngblood]

If you're a boxer, the bag should be included daily
(although Scrap will surely prove me wrong)

But seriously, if you're a boxer you punch everyday.

As for the abs. 3 times a week.

Yea I agree with the punching every day. Often if I don't feel like skipping before say a run, I will do pad work as a warm up and down. Or say if I am working on a new combo, introduction something new...I will use the pads a lot for a bit until I feel comfortable using it in sparring.

Agreed.
I like to change my routine a lot and avail of all avenues.
But the bag is essential, if you're a boxer.

Pads are brilliant. Scrap doesn't rate them , but I thoink when used properly they're brilliant.

That's interesting, Scrap not thinking the pads are as good as a bag. I wonder why? I mean, for eg. right now I am working really hard on my uppercuts, and the heavy bag just doesn't seem to cut it for that.

Scraps rasoning is that if a combonation is thrown incorrectly and the sequence broke, the workout is wasted.

trey two or three days hard training, then a day off. you make your gains while you recover not while you break down muscle fibers.as for gettin into the workout, that is all mental. work on that or consider just doing it for fun or to stay in shape. i only have trouble getting into a workout when i know i am just sharpeninmg the blade for no reason. i actually like the boredom of training...love long hour long stints on an eliptical or 3 hours in the gym working till i am ready to fall down, but i need time to recover and that is when you gain. maybe just go hrd for a 8 week stint then take 1 week off

That's something else! This quote belongs in "I f*cking Hate (off days)".

I work my abs 5/6 days a week lower, sides, upper, and also stability ball for my abs, i split my routine. I do big weights 3 days a week squats, dead lifts, etc. I do cardio mostly every day but i do fun cardio like sparring, basketball etc. I do a lot more than that but i just done a short quick list. But also don't be ashamed to maybe take at least 5 days off to refresh yourself every now and again.

Donny you must have read me wrong. My point is nobody seems to do any work to prepare for improvement in whatever they are doing as regards muscle adaptability or nuiron response to the action they are trying to perform, example you wont get good results by running to get fit for running. You have to prepare the body first to get better results, or you get injured or the skill factor decreases thats a simple fact whatever you do. I could go on but Im sure you get my drift.

uNDERSTOOD.
So what would one do to maximise the benefit of padwork?

In the past I've tried it while keeping my left eye closed, to try increase balance and accuracy. It did seem to help.
