[Oopgrub]

you know, the whole 5 2 minute rounds on the bag with 1 minute rests and same thing with shadowboxing

I also do capoeira on saturdays

My routine is only to keep me in shape. I am not as concerned about myself, just curious about everyone else.

if I have a partner, I will do 4 rounds on the thai pads, 4 on focus mitts, 4 on the heavy bag, 4 sparring and 2 - 4 shadowboxing. If I am solo, I work the heavybag, speed bag and shadow box. 8 rounds on heavybag, 8 - 10 rounds of shadowboxing and three rounds of the speedbag. daily training also includes 2-3 rounds of jumping rope.

The way i train for a fight is by...doing cardio everyday....and training BJJ and muay thai and boxing 6 times a week for 7-8 hours a day. I ussually split it up by days instead of hours. And i run an hour every day. My diet ussually consists of 60% protein 40% carbs, and i drink alot of whey protein. I also do some lifting so that i have better strength when it comes to wrestling. Before a fight i listen to music that pumps me up and i try to visualize the fight and think of all the positive outcomes that could happen...i like to see everything that could happen and come up with a strategy that i see working in my head.
