My training log

[Dave1066]

First off. Some back ground information. I started boxing at the beginning of the year at the age of 26. I used to goto a Boxing gym back at the beginning of the year. My technique and fitness was good. I was fast rising amonst the ranks. With the aim to sparring when the coach thought i was ready. The gym i goto uses alot of old school techniques and train of thought. Which is why i picked it. I only had use of the club gloves. The velcro came undone in flight when i was punching a right hook onto a heavy bag at the last minute. I did a serious injury. Where instead of just fracturing the bone. I bent the bone behind my little finger knuckle. Which caused swelling under the bone service. Which took the NHS an age to diagnose. X ray, inconclusive, CT scan inconclusive, MRI scan bingo! What didn't help is i'm in a manual labour trade. So my hand didn't get much chance to heal. Was in pain for along time. In the down time. I started researching old school boxers. And boxing manuals. To make good use of the down time. I have just started training again. At home for now to get my fitness levels to a good standard before going back to the gym.

One of my favorite old school boxers and boxing manuals is Jack Dempsey's. I use alot of his stuff. And it is working well for me! You can find his Championship Boxing manual online for free.

I'm 6ft, Weight 166.6 Pounds, Male. I aspire to do local competitions. At ABC level.

My training regime is this.
Monday, 2 minutes skipping, Then hour speedball and Heavy bag.
Tuesday, 2 minutes skipping, Circuit training, then speedball and heavy bag upto the hour
Wednesday, 2 minutes skipping, Plyometrics, then speedball and heavy bag upto the hour
Thursday, Rest day
Friday, 2 minutes skipping, then hour speedball and heavy bag.
Saturday, 2 minutes skipping, Circuit training, then speedball and heavyball upto the hour
Sunday, 2 minutes skipping, Plyometrics, then speedball and heavy bag upto the hour.

I will state my fitness isn't great at the moment. If that doesn't look impressive. But it will change drastically when i become fitter. I'm not doing any road work at the moment. As i don't want to loose weight.
