is training everyday really good?

[Mares]

I don't get it why people keep asking mundane trivial questions and can't think for themselves, man this **** is so simple even a 3 year can figurethis out....
If u feel ok and good about it then train, if u feel weak and tired then it means u need to take break.

I train 6 days per week, with 3 or 4 of those days twice a day training. I feel fine doing this.

It depends on what we are talking about. If we are talking about training in a baseline state (not training for a fight) then training 3 or 4 times a week is normal, and your body will not have too much stress and plenty of time to recover. If we are talking about training for a fight, then you should be training 5 to 6 times a week. I train a couple pro fighters (MMA), and several amateurs, and I train with a formal professional boxer as well who was a member of the USA boxing team, and he and I have talked about this pretty extensively.

The key is to have a couple "light days" in the 5 or 6 days. Now by "light days" I mean light for the top level athlete, not for the average joe. Those light days will allow ample time for the top level athlete to recover. This training camp mode will only be maintained for 6 to 8 weeks. Then the fighter will tapper off for about a week and be ready to go. During this training camp mode, perfect nutrition and plenty of sleep is essential.

Train 5-6 days ,Run on three of those days its what Mayweather senior made Hatton do.

I don't train for bodybuilding. I implement isometrics and hypertrophy geared exercises into my routine, but I'm not a bodybuilder by definition.

Rest is important when it pertains to physical activity of any kind. I don't care what it is.

People act like training boxing isn't physically demanding, it is and rest is necessary.

Keeping your weight stable is necessary, yes I agree, however keeping your weight stable can also be done through diet.

I agree rest is important but have noticed that most of your posts relate mainly to building muscle and while it is great advice for that I think boxers need less recovery time if they are not trying to build muscle.

Agreed, thats what I was saying before

Masturbating and having *** having an impact on training is an old wives tale that has proven to be bull****.

I don't agree with much else either. You don't need to run that much in one week. It's wholly unnecessary.

Dude I got this advice from top level trainers who train professional boxers. I also received this from reading what pro boxers do, and what they recommend for one to do. Who the **** are you? Yes running to much a week can be unnecesarry I agree, or it can be beneficial different people have different opinions on training methods. I read your other post and I agree on what you have to say about rest.

Rest, and nutrition are as important to boxing as the training itself. And anyone who says different does not know what they are talking about.


You are not running a lot with the running advice I gave. The running varies but it is better to run 5-6 days a week to be in top shape.

one day of hill runing
one day running long distance at a slow pace
one day light jog
one day semi light jog
one day 12minutes as fast as you can (basically a long sprint)
one day long distance at an okay pace


TS you can mix the days however you want but the above routine for running is perfect for getting into shape

[I Love Jesus!]

Just because your body becomes used to training that much, doesn't mean that it couldn't be performing better if you took adequate time off. Why settle for mediocrity when there are methods that are better more proven methods?

Eventually over-training will catch-up to you it's only a matter of time before you hit a wall or your hormone levels will drop off due to getting older and keeping that intensive everyday training will become more and more difficult.


I know the addiction of working out and the need for daily physical activity, but rest is crucial.

There are times when u can do more if you break it down right. You're talking about bodybuilders needing all that rest when they are breaking there bodies down with weight lifting. Guys like Mayweather and Roy Jones train 6 sometimes 7 days a week. So do Olympians. I've been to the Olympic training center and seen the way they train. 6 hours a day sometimes more. High level athletes train constantly at mastering a particular skill. U can certainly shadow box 7 days a week without breaking your body down for example. I'm Not trying to say rest is not extremely important it is but The way you seem to look at things sounds like its more geared toward professional body building not a professional skilled athlete like a boxing champion or an Olympian.

Heres a cool article on what Victor Conte trains Nonito Donaire



Most boxers train twice-a-day, six days a week – way over trained. The greater the intensity of the training, the greater requirement for the recovery interval,” explained Conte. “The first change that I made in Nonito’s training was to tell him ‘you’re going to train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday you’re out of there.’

I train twice a day -- 5 days a week.

FIRST workout- I wakeup at 5am, play 30 min of bball, 10min of jumprope, 20min doing balance techniques, shadow box with weights, 100 situps, then I do some pool workouts for about 30min then hit the sauna for 10min.

Im back in bed by 830am.

SECOND workout-430pm hit the boxing gym. Jump rope, speed bag, double end bag, heavybag, ab workouts. 2/3 times a week I spar and hit mitts. 630pm- I run 2 or 3 miles. 730pm- 100 situps and then I hit the pool and swim 10 laps.

I do this mon-fri.

Saturdays I swim for 30 min and run 3 miles. That's it. No boxing.

Sunday is all about rest. At the most I will either go for a light swim or a very light jog, just to keep the body active.

It just relies on how well programmed and used to coaching your body is, i was coaching 5 times per weeks time until Dec and did nothing over Xmas so i am getting it stable 3 times per weeks time until I'm back into the move of things....
