Need Verified: Andre Ward's Olympic Training Regime.

[D. Shiznit]

I was in the training part on DogHouseBoxing and a guy posted his workout, and said this is what Andre Ward did training for the Olympics. I need it verified though, as it seems kind of fishy to me. lol. I know the Olympians do more than this. So can anyone help me out?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Medicine Ball Warm-Up
Shoulder/Core Prep
Hold a 10-lb ball with both hands, arms extended in front of you, and move it in 10 large clockwise circles. Then move it in 10 counterclockwise circles. Raise the ball above your head and repeat.
Medicine Ball Squat
Hold the ball behind your head with both hands and squat. Two sets of 20
Medicine Ball Calf Raise
Hold the ball behind your head and go up on tiptoe. Two sets of 20

Crisscross
Lie on your back with hands clasped behind your head. Lift your legs so your thighs are perpendicular to the floor and your knees make a right angle. From this starting position bring your right knee toward your chest and extend left leg until it's straight, with the foot about a foot off the floor. At the same time raise your shoulders and rotate so that your left elbow almost touches your right knee. Return to starting position. Repeat with opposite knee/elbow. 15 each side

Speed And Endurance
Treadmill Run
Begin with a one-minute jog at zero incline. Then do the following sprints, slashing the speed between sprints for 30-40 seconds to catch your breath.
12.8 kmph at 5% incline Two 30-second sprints
13.6 kmph at 7.5% Two 30-second sprints
14.4 kmph at 10% Two 30-second sprints
15.2 kmph at 11.5% Two 20-second sprints
16 kmph at 13% Two 20-second sprints
16.8 kmph at 15% Two 15-second sprints

Rubber Ball Hand-Speed Drill
Stand in the middle of a large, open room. Bounce a small superball on the floor and catch it on the first bounce. Repeat, but bounce it a little farther away or a little softer, so you have to move even quicker to catch it. Keep varying bounces. Five minutes

Speed Jump Rope
Go for maximum foot speed. Three three-minute rounds with one minute rest between each.

ShadowBoxing & Heavy Bag Work
Keep your hands and feet moving constantly. Three two-minute rounds with one minute rest between each. Alternate between the two on different workouts.
