Ilk's Log - Boxing, soccer, conditioning

Morning Private Boxing
So I got some private coaching today.
12 rounds x 2 mins pads - working a lot on the basics - jabbing, jab cross, double jab cross or hooks, uppercuts. With lots of footwork coordination and bringing the hands at the right position. Later we added slips to these basic combos and adding some right hooks, right uppercuts and etc. Later we added 2-1-2s going forward and backwards and in the end 1-2-1-2 going forward or backwards after the initial combo. Got pretty good advice on the uppercuts, on foot coordination and slips. Apperantly I ve been doing uppercuts with too much body movement and slips with little protection.
3 bag rounds - I banged hard and worked on all that with full power. The coach said you build your conditioning on the heavy bag.
2 circuit rounds - 30 seconds jump rope, 30 second straights with 3kg dumbbells, 30 seconds plyo jumps, 30 seconds standing bar pushesh, 30 seconds push ups, 30 seconds straights with 3kg dumbbells and 30 seconds jump rope.

Rest day. I have been called for a soccer game Sunday on a trial so I wanted to be well rested and fuck some dudes up.

Apperantly my last game has impressed the coach and they are about to offer me an amateur contract. They do that to the core players with some basic salary or bonuses for wins to keep the guys training. The coach told me he wants a strong defensive mid like me to fuck up people when they want to attack us... Whatever that means. He wants me to perform and be really aggressive on challenges, first balls and tackling.

Fucking hell I got a call the game is cancelled so I did a 4km LISS run and chopped some 100-150 kg wood for my grandma and carried it from the basement to home.
I got home with few missed calls and being told the game is in 2 and a half hours and I am tired.

So 1 hour + of football. I ran pretty much all I could run.

Boxing work out

3 x 3 mins pad rounds - working the uppercuts
6 x 3 mins - spar rounds - looked much better today but the guys let me work a lot
1 bag round - nothing special just light banging

squats 4 sets x 10 reps - 40kg - took it lighter today due to football yesterday
core circuits - 2 rounds - Russian twist, leg rises, some other twist and roll outs.

New weight 84 kg. I was the heaviest of the friends I work with when I started 1 month and a half a go - about 87-88kg, now I am the lightest. Great progress :) They even tried to shit on my half naked selfy I posted yesterday on facebook and instagram. Jelly people will be jelly.

I feel fucking great. I have not been in such form for more than 10 years. I literally destroyed guys yesterday at football, I did very well today in boxing. My lifting goes well. And I landed a date in Wednesday with a good looking girl :)

Are you going 75%-80%-85%(or 90%) instead of 70%-75%-85% of 1RM these 3 weeks, as opposed to the first three weeks?
 
Ye. I kind of messed up the weights last week so I decided to give it a go. I am managing to be honest. I have lifted with 8 reps these weights. It just sux not having a spotter for the bench so I did not risk that last rep.

By the way Sano I am feeling some pain at the bone that starts from shoulder and ends bellow the throat I guess it is connected with the rib cage. I feel it when I bench and today even at the dips I tried. Should I be worried?

No nothing to be worried about. You're doing a lot of stuff (a lot more than I said :D) with the boxing, other conditioning, other circuit training and your strength training days even. You went from not doing much to doing a lot of volume, so it would be strange if you DIDN'T feel any aches and pains. Takes a while for the body to adapt.

If it keeps up the next few days, lower the volume on some of the exercises that makes it hurt (and drop the dips completely for a little while), and generally on upper body pushes for a week or two to begin with. See if it doesn't go away then. Maybe record a vid of your bench pressing too and upload it to see if there's any form changes that could help. Most important thing is lowering the volume and stop doing what makes it hurt though, for now.

Yeah the % 1RMs seem fine, as long as you can actually lift the number of reps without going to failure.

Well I have a big athletic background from a child till early 20. I am used to huge volumes. My child years and early to mid teens I spend playing football like 4-5 hours per day. That is including a professional soccer work out. Then we would play table tennis or basketball or some games that include running. i ve done tons of sports back in the days. My entire days were filled with playing sports. Its the past 12 years I haven't been much active. Well I am active the past 2-3 years.

Anyway after I complete this 6 week routine I am going to drop a lot of stuff. As I am starting to work again. I ll try to go boxing twice. Strength training 3 times and run maximum once per week.

I am extremely motivated right now. I have time. I want to push myself. I want to create good habits such ss wake up early and work out. So this is why I am doing this much.

Doesn't matter if you used to be very active at one point. The sudden increase in load will naturally take time to adapt to, that's just how the body works.

Yeah good, use the motivation! You're doing good work.

After you're done with the 6th week, take a few days off from any heavy lifting and let your body rest up. Then, it's time to take your new maxes on the lifts. I'd split up your max lifts over two sessions so you're not too tired to see how strong you really are in all of them. I'm testing my maxes in two weeks as well, so that is going to be exciting!

How do I test these again? I am really afraid of lifting too heavy :( I go lifting at 7 am and there is just the reception chick so no one to really help me if something happens
