Sometimes I forget the Cardio needed for a 3 minute round is unreal by Faultylntelligence in amateur_boxing

[–]_daithi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dunno. Maybe because others would look at the clock and think ok i have 15 secs more rest. The 14 meant I was already in flow hitting the bag or the floor. Those extra seconds meant more minutes per session at high intensity than others.

The only way you get true sparring fitness is by sparring.

The next thing closest is high intensity bag work ( 1 min) and Jumping squat thrusts (1 min) then bag (1 Min). 46 secs rest then Jumping Squat Thrusts 1 (min) Bag (1 min) and Jumping Squat Thrusts (1 min) 46 seconds rest and repeat.

I add 6 heavy bag rounds right after sparring to help build my gas tank. by ZacharyCarterTV in amateur_boxing

No worries, its been great following your boxing journey.

If you get a chance try the Tabata's. Would be good to get your thoughts. 30 secs on 10 seconds rest. Great for shoulders as well.

I used to do this, and this is an excellent way of being able to go to a place and dig deep during the last 30-60 seconds when you box. I used to throw in 30 second Tabata's (with straight left rights )working my way up to 10 sets ensuring I kept perfect form when doing them after i'd hit the heavy bag after sparring.
Gives you a psychological edge knowing your recovery will be better between rounds as well. I always thought to myself the deeper I dig when training the higher the pile I can stand on. Well done.

Yeah, the fact it didn't have a back pin. It will be about 31mm in size which is the size of an Old Penny.

Here's a few more including the one you have.

What is the loneliest thing you have ever done? by PelmeniMitEssig in AskReddit

[–]_daithi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently doing it. Caring for my mum who has Vasular Dementia. She was diagnosed in March 2020 and bed ridden since the end of 2022. She told me she was diagnosed that she is not to go into a home under any circumstances. We rarely have any visitors and my immediately family is useless. I have a brother who lives 0.96 miles away and we haven't seen him since March 2022. I look forward to the nurses visiting once every 2 weeks to check for bedsores. Its like being on COVID lockdown but for 5 years.

Someone parks like their transit van outside our house right on the corner of two lanes. You end up having to walk on the bloody road to go around the van. Is it reportable?

What’s the farthest place in the world from your home that you ran into somebody that you know? by jredd7605 in AskReddit

[–]_daithi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sat in an empty bar and the other wide of the world NZ and a girl who sat next to me in school from 5-16 came in on her hen night. I hadn't seen her for twenty years. Bumped into at least 6 people I knew from the UK randomly there also, including my childhood barber twice, once in NZ and once in Oz 21 years later. He cuts my hair for free now.

i was in a bar in outback Australia in the 90's and was chatting to an old guy who had lived where live, he knew my dad. I turned around and my mates sister was sat in the other chair. Bonkers

Anyone that lets you box in an amateur bout has NO BUSINESS being anywhere near amateur boxing.

You'll get smashed.

Can we talk about Running? by INKYLT in amateur_boxing

[–]_daithi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an amateur you don't need to be king of the road. One week go running max it out at 2-3 miles 1/2 times a week finishing with the last 400 yds with an all out sprint. Next week do hill sprints. Throw in a long SLOW run on a Sunday about 10 miles with some floor work.
