Wednesday December 19th
Called out from work today
so I could train with Liu at my gym.
10:30am did some light cardio and core work
no running again got to get this fixed
around noon Liu and I went to the gym to go thru his typical Boxing routine
Now mind you I have been reading his log and his room mates log and I must say he took it easy on me for sure! I have a great deal of respect for Liu (king) and if he had thought it necessary to put me thru the more difficult version of his typical training I would have done so without complaint and maybe thrown up my breakfast LOL but thankfully he felt after a night of hard sparring and another training session due for me in the evening that would warrant a lesser version of his regimen
here is Liu's log
A Sinister Tale of the Fisticuffs.
and here is his room mate Diego's log
The Top Rank Runt
those two are hardworkers for sure and I am grateful for all of Liu's help and for both of there dedication to their logs.
set round timer (3 min rounds 1 min break)
ring jacks for 1 round
shadow boxing 2 rounds
heavy bag 4 rounds
several rounds mit work (forgot this at first post, but was reminded that I gassed here pretty good. this is indeed a frantically paced workout that combines several training techiniques together which can really fry you not just physically, shoulders!, but also mentally hence I blocked this memory out forever LOL)
light sparring 4 rounds (Now I really got to see how footwork can make your opponent stupid cause that's what happened to me. sure I was game and wasn't scared LOL but that don't help you if you keep running into punches... I also got to see how many openings my gaurd/stance or lack thereof sometimes has.)
skip rope 2 rounds
*although a condensed version of a boxing training session I really can see the benifits of the flow and how if used correctly it can produce a machine that won't quit coming; even for my MMA pursuits this is great training and will help me become a volume attacker in MMA. And yeah I felt it too, those gloves got HEAVY, Liu keeps a frantic pace even when having to explain things as we go.
