- Monday: Worked on shadowboxing & rope skipping an hour outside the gym before it opened. 2 hours practice in the gym. Today I got introduced to sidestepping i.e blocking a jab and work the opponent from the side.
I spent alot of time on that together with a partner in addition to the normal training reutine. Also did some barrel-roll practice with one of the couch for some time which I feel I'm getting better at now.
I feel my arsenal is growing wider now than what it originally was, slug-fest with an opponent head on, but I must be careful not to go too far ahead too fast.
Did some dumbells exercises when I got home focusing on erector spinea (lower core back), shoulders and back.
- Tuesday: Less of a workout than what I was hoping for. Didn't really get around to anything today Worked on some push ups, squats, sit ups and dumbells.
- Wednesday: Shadowboxed an hour outside the gym before it opened. Had a very intensive training in the gym today. The couch wanted to drill us on pushups, situps and sprints over and over again. Many of us didn't get to the finish. Sparring today was a bit different. The couch didn't want me to team up with my usuals since they just goof around. So I was introduced to the 220lbs guys. Something I realized by sparring with them is that I move around alot more than what I would do with the ones at my own weight so that's good. The downside though is that I get utterly stressed and I mess up a lot of my punches which in return gives me a bleeding nose :P It's been bleeding all sparring sessions for 1 week now so I'm gonna visit a doctor to burn the bloodveins in the lower part of my nose.
Biking home from the gym there's several ambulance cars in my neighborhood with the sirens on and It appears that the guy across the street from my house has gone and done something stupid as he's getting carried into the cars. Poor guy :8
- Thursday: Today was alot of fun. There wasn't many people present at the gym today except a few so I got one of the trainers for myself the whole training session. At first we did the usual, jumping rope, shadowboxing and hitting the mitts. We had several sparring sessions whereas the first was a 4 round spar with my couch where we alternately swapped from defense to offense every round. My defence is improving significantly and it's getting more natural to move my hands around my body. Then I had a 4 round (2minute rounds) spar whereas I was only gonna defend myself and every 1 minute a new guy was sent in. 4 opponents in total which all had 1 round each. I got myself a breather while another guy was doing the same thing. Then I had a 2 minute sparring with the couch and he said we were only gonna go around and enjoy ourselves... What a lier... He launched a flurry of short and compact punches which was endlessly thrown at me for 2 minutes and I spent 90% of the time defending and 10% attacking. It was such a shock :O
- Friday: Home to my parents place. Took my mothers dog out for a jog. Nothing fancy. Did 30+10 pushups, some situps & squats.
