Boxing.

Boxing.

3/20/09 Strength. The boxing gym's weight room is somewhat underwhelming, mostly Smith rack and dumbbells and a few machines. Hmmm. Even so -- Squats w/50# dumbbells: 5 x 5 Smith rack bench press: 5 x 5 @ 155 Wide-grip pullups: 7/5/5 Overhead press: 2 x 8, 35 pound dumbbells Abs, mix up situps, cru...

Ran intervals x 5, 1/2s.

3/18/09

Boxing.

3/19/09

Boxing, but instructor didn't show, so worked out on my own. Heavy bag mostly, 3/1s, then some pullups and ab work.

My left hook's coming along.

Boxing.

Rest.

3/14/09

Ran 30 minutes in Venice/Santa Monica. Serious hill work towards the end was kind of an interval workout.

3/15/09

L5D3 -- 7:02

Pullups killed me. Felt worn out.

Strange times. Working out, but haven't posted a few days. Started training boxing for real at LB4LB in LA, and it's a killer. I've had to adjust scheduling around getting more rest time between workouts. This week has been -- 3/9/09 Boxing, to the point of utter exhaustion. Then beyond. 3/10/09 Res...

3/1/09 Rest day. Took the usual brisk 40-minute walk to and from the bookstore. 3/2/09 Boxing. 5 minute run, followed by -- 3/1 jump rope, w/intervals 3/1 shadowbox 3/1 jump rope, intervals 3/1 shadowbox, intervals (hard fast punching for 15 seconds each minute) 3/1 heavy bag x 4 3/1 shadowbox Push...

V-ball, I guess that's my question. To my (totally, completely uneducated, small) brain, that high a rep count feels like an endurance exercise, vs. a pure strength day -- I just wonder if the time might be better spent pounding out heavy weights at lower reps. Ah, hell, I'm probably just being a we...

2/26/09 Rest day. 2/27/09 Okay, technically today was supposed to be L5D2. But I have a cruddy, frustrating secret I gotta spill. I HATE LxD2. I just hate it. Call me a baby, whatever -- I don't look forward to it, I bum out when it's that day, and I half-ass it when I'm actually doing it. Love D1,...

3/1 jump rope

2/1 rounds heavy bag x 5
3/1 shadowbox
Abs/pushups to near failure (wasn't long)

2/24/09

L5D1 -- 18 rounds.

Should've gone a little harder, was worried about running out of steam on the pullups. Finished off with 3 rounds on the heavy bag, 3/1s. THAT did the trick.

2/23/09

5 minute jog, then 1/2 intervals x 5.

Fast was around 9 mph, slow was around 5.5. Had to take a 1 minute walk twice rather than run, just too gassed.

Then ran out 5 minutes at 6 mph. Total about 25 minutes.

2/21/09 Long slow run through the Wilshire District. About 4 miles, about 45 minutes. 2/22/09 L4D3 -- 5:00 exactly. Crazy. The good: Cranked out 10 full dead-hang pullups to start. The bad: Could only manage sets of 3, then 2, after that. So wasted from the effort, could only do pushups in sets of 1...

2/19/09

3/1 intervals, boxing workout.

3/1 sprints x2
3/1 shadowboxing x1
3/1 heavy bag x4
3/1 shadowboxing x1
3/1 pushups/situps x2

2/17/09

Ran 18 minutes, then 6 rounds 2/1 on the heavy bag.

2/18/09

Started L4D2, bailed out because of shoulder pain after 2 rounds. Might have pulled something on the heavy bag. Fast-walked the dog instead for 40 minutes.

2/16/09

L4D1 -- 23 rounds
