Re: Colstreamer's 2015 training log.
So, today I went to the boxing club again.
Warm up was jogging round the hall with different types of step. Sideways, backwards etc.
6x2 min rounds sparring against a shorter guy and a talker guy. I kept the shorter guy away with my jab and landed some cool shots. The taller guy was a pain. Firstly he was talker with a longer reach and secondly he was a bloody southpaw! I hate those guys. So I threw a lot of straight rights but it was hard to land a decent shot as he was good defensively. I'm also good at not being hit so it was a fast bout between us with few decent shots actually landed. Although, I did get him with a SWEET straight right to the body which knocked him back into the ropes. That gave me a window to get in close. Which I did, 5 seconds before the final bastarding bell!
Bag work, pad work and circuits after sparring. The session was a total of 80 minutes. Then I jogged home; interval jogging 60 seconds fast, 90 seconds slow. A total of 2.78km in 25 mins.
Did a bit of stretching at home then had my dinner. A big fat steak!
Re: Colstreamer's 2015 training log.
Boxing again.
5 mins warm up, jogging round the gym, sidestepping etc.
6x2 min rounds sparring. There were some heavy boys training tonight. I took a decent right hander right on the nose and gave back some decent lefts and rights. My inside game came more into play tonight and I threw more body combinations.
Finished off with circuit training. In total it was a 60 minute session. :D
Re: Colstreamer's 2015 training log.

Ah bollocks! I've been slack at keeping this updated recently. I've been training, mainly running and kickboxing. I stayed with my brother for four days and we did some old school kickboxing training (no sparring though). It's been a long time since I've trained with him. He still hits harder than anyone else I know. Today I went to squad training with the British squad.

Yeah I'm ok. I was just busy with other shit. And yeah, my brother was a fighter too. He hasn't fought since he left the army though. It's s pity really. He was bloody good. I mean he's a proper fucking badass in the ring. He's beaten everyone he's ever faced. There were a couple of times he got beaten but he beat them in rematches.
I've kept up my training, more or less. I decided that I wanted to improve my grip strength. Specifically my crushing grip strength. So I bought some heavy hand grippers. I got 100lbs, 250lbs, 300lbs and 350lbs grippers. The 100 is easy for most men to close so I use it for warming up. I can close the 250 once ATM, so I'm practising with it until I can close it for 5x5. Once I can, I'll move on to the 300. I know grippers go up to some ridiculous numbers but I'll be happy with 350. I'm also working on static grip strength by hanging from pull up bars as long as I can.
Re: Colstreamer's 2015 training log.
There is a good book called mastery of hand strength. Check it out.
Re: Colstreamer's 2015 training log.
Not sure what poundage ones I have now....maybe a 140? And a few grippers under that. I should dust them off!
Re: Colstreamer's 2015 training log.
I got that book, well, ebook. I have small hands for my size and grip has always been an issue for me. As has wrist strength. I've decided I'm going to rectify that problem.
