Training before a fight

[BladeLee]

Ok, lets say u have a fight coming up in like 4 months. Exactly what kind of training do you guys do. I know you switch it up alot, but just give me 1 random week of what you do..something like:

 

Monday: 8am - jog 2 miles

 

1pm - weight train(push muscles) for 1 hour

 

7pm - Kickboxing class 2 hours

 

10pm - shadowbox 30 mins

 

Tuesday: Rest day

 

Wendsday: 8am - Sprint/walk 3 miles

 

1pm - weight train(legs) 1 hour

 

7pm - kickboxing class 2 hours

 

10pm - Heavy bag, 5 3 min rounds

 

Ok, thats just an example, but just curious what you guys do, what drills you do, how often you run..sprint...weight train..how often you do polymetrics(and what kind of polymetrics), how often you do anerobic exercise, how often ..... ( you get the idea )

 

Thanks alot, it is much appreciated!

Run 20 minutes every day, also skipping, body calisthenics 15 minutes, punch and kick the bag shadow boxing 20 minutes.

 

Might not sound like much, but its far better than any other weight training program I'v done.

 

 

[Kensai]

Meditation, calm my mind.

 

General perfection of techniques.

 

If you have this, then from whatever style you study, you will win!

Drink every Friday and Saturday, train in class heavily the next day, enjoy myself. Practice my sprinting every other day.

You really gotta work on your abdominals. It's absolutely necessary you have strong abs.

 

I do 90 bicycles every day (look it up on a fitness site if you don't know what it is)

 

If you know what bicycles are and you really do them right, you know that they are difficult and very effective at toning your stomache.

 

My stomache is in better shape than any of my other muscles (it's got visible muscles even relaxed), but I hope to change that soon and bring my arms up to par.

 

Running 20 minutes *every day* or 30 minutes every other day will keep your endurance up. It's no good having great muscles if you get tired 10 mins into the fight.

 

The example you gave had some good elements to it, but you should spread it out more. Who has time to spend all day training? And also, you shouldn't rest a whole day either.

 

The key to training is balance and consistency.

 

And don't forget to practice by sparring and reviewing your technique.

people try to sugar coat mental readiness by using "chi" or meditation

 

mental readiness comes from being confident and confidence comes by training hard and perfecting your fighting.........also focus on your objective.....that is the true key to success

[ramcalgary]

never saw any sparring in your workout

 

you must spar before a ring fight

 

without sparring you never get a feel for distance and distance is the most important thing when in a fight
