I had a boxing session in the morning which I Forgot to log. It was a heavy bag oriented.

07.09.2018 Friday and 08.09.2018 Saturday I took days off. I felt exosted.

I am changing my workout plan to this https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-best-damn-workout-plan-for-natural-lifters.
I am not going to Strenght train for now as it tires me and hinders my sports. I think my CNS is getting too heavily blasted. I am concentrating on more frequency and less volume and a body building type of work out.

Fuck fuck fuck. I got dropped out of the team. They say my cardio is still not on point and that I cant play for 90 mins. We got mixed with another team and they have many guys playing on my position. So since I can not cement the position for 90 mins they decided to drop me out in order to rotate the other guys.

Still told me to practice and be ready if someone quits. Fuck this shit. Last season I was like the best Defensive Mid in the league and commanding the entire defence and midfield now they are dropping me out :(

core work

First week completed
Basically I have been playing around in learning this work out to suit my regiment and needs. Planning on going 8 weeks. Then taking 2 weeks rest from weight lifting and focus on LISS + Sprints, then we will see what happens. Perhaps I can go 5x5. First things first I want to see how high frequency lifting with BB effect works out for me. Strenght training with high volume was tiring me too much for my sports.
This one sores my muscles, but my CNS does not feel tired. I am actually feeling fresh, but muscles are getting tired.

So main focus next week will be to complete the 6 work outs with small weight increase as I have been testing the weights this week. I will do small adjustments on the exercices, still learning the program. I plan on 2 boxing work outs and 1 soccer game with friends. So 9 work outs for the week.

Additionally some afternoons I will play around with boxing bag or shadow boxing (technique and shoulder conditioning + cardio) and core work + stretching. Funny I have never paid attention to core work and I realised my core is pretty damn weak.

I decided to lift weights today as tomorrow I have boxing in the morning and soccer in the afternoon

Week 2 Workout A1
DL 2x6x80 and double rest pause set with 80 - 6+4+3 reps - feeling too comfortable with 80 kg, I will add some weight next time
Pull ups 2x4 and double rest pause set 4+2+2 - still too heavy for me, I am not having a proper form
Back shoulder exercice 2x8x10 kg dumbbels + drop sets - 10 x 7,5 kg + 12 x 5 kg
Biceps curls 2x6x30 + double rest pause set with 30 kg - 6 reps + 2 reps + 1 rep - for some reason I had it hard to lift 30 kg this time

Afternoon
Boxing bag work 7 rounds - simple work low tempo trying to create good habits on posture and hand positioning. Trying to add lateral movement to my work.

and core work during rest - leg rises + wood cuts + some crunches

Morning boxing workout
warm up with footwork drills mainly

1 long pad round - complained about my cross and right uppercut so we were working on the technique of these. Basically I have to pull my left shoulder more to allow for good extension and protection from the right arm on both punches. My right leg was not on a stable position during the cross, so we decided to add a step (ground slam) to make it stable. And my uppercut was going way too wild, instead I had to stop and drag back the hand to my face. All in all a good technique round. We worked a bit on the jab and right hand positioning when jabbing too.

2 drill rounds - jab vs sliping the jab and countering - one guy jabs, the other one slips and experiments counters.

2 spar rounds against my better friends - I actually do better against the orthodox friend who is better than all, he is more comfortable to play against and he allows me to play while working on his countering and his counters are gentle.

Did well against my SP friend. I re adjusted the jab as he was countering me few times. Used more lateral movement to my left which helped me land a nice body right hook, while ducking against lead hand hook of his.

Tried to add more pivots while sparring. Once unintentionally escaped a 1-2 counter while pivoting to my right. Felt very nice to be honest :) I enjoy my work on lateral movement. I am very, very and I mean very new to this kind of work, but I can see results and it is very encouraging.

4 bag rounds - working on some tempo and lateral movement (not very high tempo, but still a good and decent tempo)

core work - few quick core exercices for about 5 mins

Afternoon
I am logging earlier, because my left shoulder is in pain. It is kind of over training or being hit pain.

I have soccer at 8 pm. So just going to log it before I forgot to do so later.
60 mins soccer 5+1 with friends (there are ami players in both teams) so it will be a bit competitive.
