Sparring
So ive started sparring.......... most grueling six minutes of my life. Coming out for the third round my right calf had seized up, I felt like being sick and I was gasping for air. I had another two minutes in the ring, There was no where to hide. No substitutes, no more water breaks, no timeout. Quitting wasn't an…
Boxing Goals -
So, we have a few members that are linked by a common commitment to boxing (in varying capacities), so thought it worth putting up a goal thread relevant to your boxing focus - whatever your goal, throw it up My goal: - Fight an exhibition bout in November at 75kg
Right Calf
Any tips on how to stop it from fatiguing in sparring? My trainers said its normal for it to take a bit of pressure and for it to seize up. They mentioned it will strengthen and build endurance, however I've moved to 3 minute rounds and by the later rounds its often difficult to put weight on let alone throw a…

Sparring
Got rocked & dominated in sparring tonight - my trainer was going through a round robin and stepped up to his own level for more of the rounds and added some heat behind his punches.

I also play football…

Mountain Biking - WOW
Been living in my house for 4 years now and one of the reasons we moved here was the nearby forest tracks that I said would be useful for mountain biking.............. 48mths later and the only dirt my bike has seen is the dust that has fallen on it in the garage! Last night I decided to clean it down, oil the chain and…
8 Sets x 8 Reps - suggestions
A boxing trainer at my club put me through my paces the other day and suggested I implement a program of 8 Sets x 8 Reps of cardio style weights as a way to minimise muscle growth but improve strength whilst providing a cardio workout at the same time (in support of my boxing goals) He suggested I do this three times a…

Boxing Training - Calories Burned

Once a week I do a half hour 1 on 1 training with a boxing coach at a high level of intensity with minimal rest during the session (maybe two water breaks at most). The session would normal consist of the following type of…
Hello, G'Day, Alritey........
New to the forum and new to the whole calorie counting regime. However having finished day one I think it's going to make my goals that little easier to achieve. Three weeks ago my boxing trainer set me a goal of 16% Body Fat by the 6th March (was 19.4% at the time). Unfortunately, with the arrival of a new baby my program…
