anyone got any decent gym routines/workouts?

[Emmseegee]

Ive tried many books etc and theyr usually a bit shite to be honest.
Usually too basic.
Ive started doing a circuit which i think is good.
12 different exercises.
Do it in order, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3.... Until youve done the 1st exercise 12 times and the 12th once. That make sense?
Choose your own exercises, sit ups, press ups, burpees etc.
Its an absolut killer but works a treat.

after watching ringside this week at the gallaghers gym with there different sessions i have realised i need to spice my sessions like they do is there a book which has different exercises/training techniques? or does anyone on here do anything in particular in there gyms thats different? any ideas would be appreciated

Billy, I can't view Ringside over here, but are you talking about boxing specific techniques or general fitness/conditioning ones?

Does anyone know what the "bar bag" is that they were doing? I seem to remember Hatton doing something like that with Billy Graham - I think it was 3 min rounds of sparring or bag work, then a minute of jumping over the bar in between each round? The jumping part would really take it out of you.

[Jeff Thomas]

Bar bag is one min on the bar, then on the bag, then back to the bar and rest!

The idea is to stop coasting - it's a tough workout!

You can do other protocols too

Worst non-boxing work-out I've encountered is Crossfit's 'Kalsu' - brutal.

No Jeff, unless you count training myself Just have a fascination with it. Kalsu is basically:
At the beginning of every minute perform 5 burpees, for the rest of the minute perform as many 135lb thrusters as you can during that minute. At the beginning of the next minute perform 5 burpees and then max rep thrusters and so on until you reach 100 total thrusters.

It's one of those deceptive ones that sounds reasonably straight-forward but then just destroys people in practice. You can see it action here:

Sound/ good mate will check it out, to the op mr bessey

The best personal training resources I've found online are t nation, Ross training and Brian mac for differing reasons.

Think the best way to find new stuff is be open minded and get round the gyms- some top mma drills that work with boxing very well. Battling is a good one to use- look it up

Been doing a lot of Spartan training exercises recently. 30 reps of 10 exercises against the clock. If you pick the exercises right you don't even need any equipment.
Also putting in a fair bit of medecine ball work.

I know so many its unreal. the explanations for each are paragraphs long. I think theres a market for an I phone app with training regimes.

In our gym we do a different bar bag one. Basically you get 2 boxers, to use one bag. one hits the bag for 40 seconds whilst the other uses the bar to jump over, when 40 seconds are complete they swap places and then again. They do this 3 times each. Then you do 30 seconds, then 20, and finally 10. Each round should be more than 3 minutes. You get 1 minute rest in between round.

Following this you get the same pair on a bag yet again and they do 3 rounds. One hits the bag flat out for 30 seconds whilst the other holds it and does standing squats, then trade places. this goes on for a round. then 20 seconds and then 10.

thats a nice easy to explain one

Check out a website called rossboxing by Ross Eminett a ex american pro he has some great books & videos off circuits & real explosive power! he likes to use things he makes & tyres sledgehammers, his book never gymless is great

We do 45 to 50 mins of kettel bell drills in our gym 20 reps then change the exercise with no rest just keep going! It's an absolute killer! Great for strengh muscle endurance and cardio

Both mate just anything to stop training getting boring med ball exercises/circuits/punnching drills/ling busters

Have a look at my earlier post. It all relates to www.crossfit.com - different work-outs every day so plenty of variety and there are 'spin-offs' such as crossfit endurance.
