24 rounds = 72 minutes = 1 hr 12 minutes

I did like 12 rounds today,not including the cardio class from 5:30-6:30pm In which most of our workout is bag work.Go figure.haha 2 and a half hours at the gym today,and cardio aint light,especially when you been at the gym since 4pm when they opened.

Well I do the bag that much because my strive is alot higher then others.I might not post it and say it as much on here,but it is. Its either make it in boxing,or go back to college again,or work at a low paying job the rest of my life.

I think boxing,90% of the time in my head. Thats another reason why I have close to 24,000 post,not all in NSB,but I do peep in the threads of them alot,and of course post.

24 rounds is a lot.

But, how many of you have seen Versy hit? I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he works an hour or more per day on the bag.

I used to hit the HEAVYBAG a ridiculously long time too when I was a youngsta of 18-19. I'd be in the gym hitting the heavybag for like 30 mins to an hour. But not everyday. Maybe 4 days out of 7. Altho some weeks I'd go 4-5 days straight. I'd go in cycles, basically.

Now, is it good? Yes, definitely as Versatile said and for the reasons he mentioned: CONDITIONING, STRENGTH.

Howver, you MUST give your body a rest. Hitting the HB everyday is hard on your body. It can be like being in a fight every single day. The thing is to hit it hard and intense when you DO hit it. Really work it over. Then REST.

If Im your trainer, I wanna know what your goal is with boxing. You may NOT NEED to hit the HB everyday or even 1 day! Just like some guys shouldnt SPAR a lot. Everybody is different and it's up to you and your trainer to find out a INDIVIDUALIZED routine that works for YOU...and not one that maybe works for somebody else (I mean, it's good if someone's routine can work for you but experiment, dont just accept it blindly).

very very good advice right there. i agree with it 100% cuz me personally, i dont need to hit the bag everyday, once or twice a week is plenty for me and i do fine with that. vers hits the bag everyday and he obviously does very fine with that. it depends on ur trainer and urself like boxing coach said. experiment and see where u make the most progress...

Just got to log back on again....

just saw the private message. I find it very hard to believe that 24 rounds can be done everyday and not be overtraining, but maybe it can be done... so i'll take your word for it.

but i was also in a prick mood and called him out... my bad. he did send me info to call so props for that.

At least you admit it,I applaud that. Is it hard to do that many rounds? Well you've done it for about 4 years,it gets rather easy.Thats like the only thing I do at the gym also,not alot of other things.
