This is how beats - he can’t outbox him so he has to maximise his strengths at this point.

Coming to the end, you are learning anything new, so go in, have a shoot out and try chin him.

What do you guys think?

Don’t worry coach, I have Chat GPT for my S&C 💪🤫

Old school vs new school 😳

This week the boxing coaches vs S&C coaches arguments and blame are in full swing, but let’s face the facts, the best fighters in the world have a team who know their place and their role to get the best results for the fighter.

🚩 If your boxing coach is saying S&C is rubbish and you don’t need it.

🚩 If your S&C coach thinks S&C is the main thing and leaves you sore after sessions.

Neither of these are right.

Boxing is the priority. Skills dictate where you’ll end up.

S&C makes the process easier. It gives you the tools to go and do your boxing more effectively and reduces chance of injury too (so you can train and fight more).

One way isn’t better than the other, there’s the mix and in the right amounts that gets fighters where they want to be.

If you’re putting the fighter first, you are open to the opposite way and work together to provide the best training set up for them.

Followers doesn’t equal Knowledge. This is misinformation at its best.

Being a fighter can be so confusing, you see this and think it must be the way to go.

The guy is a fighter, he’s got 5M followers on socials..

But none of this is true.

Explosiveness is train through intent, these 60s blocks of work mean you lose intent.

All you’re doing here is getting tired.

probably is a great guy, but this content is what we call, absolute nonsense 😤

Brain health is no joke, yet there are still fighters sparring wars without head guards on, against guys 10kg heavier than them.

You want to be elite but you can’t even be disciplined enough to wear a head guard….

There’s times where maybe you can’t afford to have an S&C coach,
For example because you’re younger. Then doing some form of S&C will be better than none.

But there comes a point very quickly when you need the expert.

Your Boxing coach isn’t trying to hold you back, but not working with someone who has studied strength and fitness is going to do that.

You wouldn’t go to someone who is an expert chef, to show you how to box.

The cross over comes because back in the day, the two were blended, which makes sense seen as there wasn’t any research into the field.

They did what was true at the time eg run, box and some bodyweight stuff.

But in 60 years, things change. We know more.

And not keeping up with the times will limit your success.

*** unless you are the next Floyd mayweather, Mohammed Ali or sugar Ray - then you can do whatever you want cos your talent will make you a champ.

My thoughts on .itauma and as a boxing fan and elite S&C Coach 🧠

Coaches, trainers, fans, fighters - drop me a comment and tell me if you agree or disagree 👀

Splashing around in a pool, gotta be nonsense…

But there is some method to this madness!

The abilty to relax and contract is really important in elite sports. It’s what separates the very best from the rest.

It’s very trainable too.

Added to the fact that the pool can reduce load, be more enjoyable and something different - makes it better than it looks!

Would@you try this in your training?

Comment ‘CORE’ for a link to learn more about how to do your Ab work like an athlete ‼️

If Most of you were to do this exercise, you’d fail because yeah you’d be performing it but you’d be arching your lower back.

This is pretty impressive stuff from Lewis Hamilton, and even better when you consider this is a 40 odd year old man.

But how do you build to this point?

First you got to understand what this is working because not all core exercises are the same.

This is Anti extension focussed meaning your core is preventing the lower back from dipping.

Then like anything there’s levels to the game, this being advanced.

Here’s how you could build it.

1. Starting with no movement like a plank and building up time
2. Adding some movement, something as simple as a plank arm raise
3. Going into something like a TRX rollout further challenging the range and strength
4. The classic barbell rollout

In all these exercises the goal is to imagine you have a glass of water on your back and keeping hips still enough to not drop it.
