I completely forgot about this post......... how things have developed since! Sparring is no more daunting, in fact its just a part of the process now (like bag work, road work etc). Since this was posted ove rtwo ywars ago ive probably put in hundreds of rounds (if not 1000+). Get a real buzz from prepping fighters for…

Ended up choosing Prodigy - Poison :)

Had a bout last year, unfortunatley had to fight 3kg heavier than normal as our matchup wss based on technical ability so I had to get closer to his weight. Unfortunatley this led to a height differnence of about 6inches. Didnt gelp that I had to go to india/UAE for two weeks 4weeks from fight night, lost on a very clowe…

Brissie here :)

It should never get easier, instead your desire to push yourself further should intensify. For me, I'm at the stage where I am seeking physical intensity - if I see a set of stairs, I want to run them. If I finish 5km, I do a set of squats. If I do 3rnds of sparring, I ask for a 4th. Its when your at your last 10% of…

To be honest - I rarely notice what's going on around me, to busy training! I'm at a boxing gym so everyone is relatively focused, disciplined and respectful.

Bump.......... n grind

I've been doing a bit of research on supplements as my training is ramping up and I am eager to back up push ally and stay sharp. Supplements in use are: - magnesium tablets (i also have Epsom Salt bath twice weekly with ginger added) - blackmores men's multi vitamin - fish oil (triple strength) - VitC/Garlic/Horseradish -…

obviously it varies person to person - but I read between 15-22 calories per minute?

Unfortunately it looks like my gym wont be holding any exhibitions this year, so November goal is dead. Although the owner of the gym is talking about bringing a team (including me) down to the Masters next year so that gives me an even bigger focus.......... hopefully get a few bouts in the leadup as prep. Whats the…

Im going meat free for the next 7-days, give my digestive system a small break.

sorry, I meant how long do they keep in there after making before they go bad?! ;)

how long do they keep in the fridge for?

Ringside Gel Tech 14oz gloves for Pad & Bag. Ringside Safety Sparring 16oz for sparring.

Ha Ha - thats one of the tunes on my list (that and Kyoto from the same album).

they are definitely on the list - being a band full of Scotsman who lived in Aus........... kinda fitting for my own life! Any particular AC/DC tune?

Qld here!

didnt get to the run............. but I'll be adding it to my list for tomorrows goals!

For me I'm coming off the back of a non-training period (4wks Torn Ankle Ligaments, 1 wk shoulder, 2wks new Tattoo) so I'm itching to get back into it. However, with a fight in 6mths I think the extended rest period was perfectly timed as I head into an upward trajectory culminating in an 8 week aggressive pre-fight…

Seriously, there are a lot of haters in here who need to chill out. I can understand some of the things people are raising (from a courtesy point of view), but to be honest, if you have the energy and time to notice half this stuff then you're not working hard enough!!! As for the grunting & sweating, that part and parcel…

bump - I'll ask my wife (she's pregnant and has heaps of info on training while pregnant).

He's grunting because he's pushing himself past his boundaries............... he should be applauded not ridiculed. Its' a gym where you're supposed to work hard. If you want quite, try a library! My gym (boxing) I was encouraged to make noise when on the heavy bag / pad work as the breathing was timed to punching and…

We do heaps of ab & core work at boxing. Although we also do medicine ball drop on the abs or peppered punches (with gloves) in the mid region................. always wondered what benefit it has beyond getting me used to body shots?

I go to a boxing gym that has a mixed bag of clientele (fighters to people who just want to shed weight)................ nothing annoys me because the vibe is simple, 'work hard'. Most people who use the facilities in isolation are training for sparring/boxing with the bulk of the members going to the group…

Got this done last week (pic was taken that night):

wear only underpants while eating dinner.

Just got it done today!

<Thoughts on this design as a tattoo (Upper Arm/Shoulder)?

Welcome to the group! Whats stopping your from starting back into boxing now and using it to compliment your goals?

You get rid of 75%80% of your genitals................. yikes!!! :wink:
