lol. to be frank...training before nationals last year I got all Trainer Monkey paranoid and was near convinced "those people" were following me around spying trying to get an edge.

So I axed it.

Am really glad to see you and Salty back posting and will likely start up another one soon. I am doing a half-assed one elsewhere, not even a boxing forum...that I started back when I was still crazy-paranoid and made sure not to use terms, names, places easily googled.


congrats on the run, btw.
Understandable - i myself have always been drawn to the tin foil fashion trend Pity it doesn't breathe so well!

Seriously though i can understand why you would do that - googling is sooo easy - at least you don't use your real name on here which helps.

So this morning got to the gym at 7 and had to leave by 8 - really should try to get there when it opens at 6:30 but no one woke me up this morning - I guess that's what happens when you suddenly have the bed to yourself again!

10 mins on rower
2 min skipping rounds alternating with the following (mostly in 2 min rounds)
-upper body warm up - arm circles, punches, holding arms out straight etc etc - about 4 mins
-footwork 1 min orthodox, 1 min southpaw - twice
-shadow boxing 1 min orthodox, 1 min southpaw - twice

Last few rounds of skipping involved 5 sec sprints with high knees and then 10 secs normal to get the heart rate up and did one round of skipping to finish. Won't go to the bag until i feel a bit more balanced in southpaw and want to give my body a chance to get used to it gradually again so that was enough boxing for a start.

Then did 3 sets, 15 reps of counterweight chin-ups and tricep dips
followed by 2 sets of shoulder press (15 reps) and seated row (10 reps)

finished with some pilates 100s, a plank and stretch band chest stretch but wish i'd allowed myself more time.
