Answer 1

As usual retro has no idea what he is talking about..



You have a thing called a training cycle, you want to peak around the time of a fight. Most pro fighters do not train 365, at least not in this way.



I'd stick to a 5 day schedule, keep in mind boxing is core and leg heavy exercises, as well as cardio.



But wanting to work as much boxing with weights I can understand trying a 6 day rotation.



I'd go Mon, Wed, Fri. Weights. (Mon, Wed, upper days, Friday lower.)

Tues, Thurs, Sat: Boxing (with Cardio in the morning, boxing in the evening.)

Sunday rest.



This will give your legs two days off to rest, which in your routine are taking the bulk of the work. In reality for boxing and fighting, the roadwork, footwork exercises, and activity itself gives you everything you need for your legs, no real time weight wise is needed to work on your legs.



Your body needs time to repair your muscles, if you are just starting then this needs to be WAY revised.



Mon, Wed, Weights. (all upper, different muscle groups)

Tues, Thurs: Boxing

Friday: Cardio.

Saturday, Sunday: Rest.



That schedule is more than realistic even if you want to fight, as you build to a fight this is a typical work week. As you progress through your cycle, Saturday would be a day you do sparring, you would pick up morning cardio sessions.



As you got closer to the fight, you begin to go lighter on the weights, heavier on the boxing and sparring.



Two weeks out you are essentially training 4 or 5 days just on timing, light sparring and speed, with cardio sessions. By fight time you are ready to go.



But asw far as just looking to get ready for a couple of months...



I would start with a 5 day program for 6 weeks, move into the 6 day program after that.



This would be just a general idea.



Ideally every 6 weeks you change your training routine to keep your body in shock and acheiving the most gains...



Example.



1st 6 weeks.



5 day program, with our Monday and Wednesdays being upper body weight stuff...



2nd 6 weeks:

6 day program with your weight days being strictly plyometrics and bodyweight exercises, the 6th day is just for sparring.



3rd six weeks, do superset weight routines, Olympic Circuits, full body workouts...



You can constantly switch it up and go through a good training cycle.



I can tell if you if are looking for boxing, or fighting you are far better off spending the majority of time doing cardio conditioning then weight training, even your weight training should have cardio elements to it... (hence supersets, and circuit routines, where you can keep your heartrate elevated).



That is what I do with my guys, and pretty much the standard formula through every combat sport, be it wrestling, boxing, MMA, etc.

Answer 2

In all seriousness, you will have NO trade doing early life paintings if you realize Scripture so poorly that you are asking anything like this on Yahoo Answers. You do not even understand how to make use of Bible research equipment like a concordance or topical Bible? In any occasion, you are coming near this in wholly the mistaken approach. You do not include an time table or "factor" you are looking to get after which appear for verses to again it. That's prooftexting.

Answer 3

To throw my hat into the ring, I endorse judomofo 100%.



You are overtraining. You don't need to work 7 days a week. You increase your liklihood of serious injury to say nothing of your mental condition when you start training that much. Give yourself the weekend off or something.

Answer 4

I think that you are over training. It is great to train hard. However most people either train to little or to much. You are in the latter category. There are several problems with over training. Some of them are:

1) increased chance of burning out mentally

2) increased chance of getting sloppy with your form resulting in you not doing things a little off.

3) increased risk of injury due to being over tired or simply not being as aware of things.

Answer 5

One day should be for some down time.

Answer 6

That's great. Most pros workout daily so this is just fine.



Just make sure there's a lot of variety in your training so you don't overtrain a particular area.



I also recommend you look into crossfit. They have amazing workouts that will serve you well in boxing.



*edit - as usual the 'pros' on this board know nothing about training. Train EVERY DAY. If you want to be a pro, you have to train like a pro, which is EVERY DAY. Go search for yourself. All the great boxers trained EVERY DAY. The myth of 'overtraining' is something perpetuated by idiots who know nothing about training cycles.

Answer 7

your body needs to rest. you are going to burn your self out.

drop at least one day
