I will try again >:(.
There is problems at the moment, i tried to stick the last message at the top and now it has vanished into thin air!
Anyway welcome.
We used to have a real trainer here that would answer questions (Howard Rainy).Unfotunatley he came under pressure and had to concentrate 100%on his own fighters and Gym.
So I took over and kept it going ,now Missy is helping too.
It is now a share your infomation section ,so enjoy it please.
One rule ,show respect and show you are smart by realising that different people have different points of views and what works for some wont for others.
Fighting is diverse and there is NO-thing that doesnt work in a fight at a certain time and other things that only work at certain times,so read between the lines and stay smart both in the ring and in here or you will be eventually knocked out, thankyou. ;D
cheeky swine, I’m the one making the sticky threads and merging topics about repeat questions that keep cropping up and trying to instill some order to the board >:(
Is it too late to start boxing at age 29 and still go pro? I have been active in martial arts wrestling and basketball my entire life and im in very good shape. My weight is anywhere from 165 to 172ish.
after doing bag work my trainer makes me do medicine ball drops on my abs. i know this is an ancient and popular training method but does it really help to harden your abs cuz i dont see how it would work your muscles?
29 isnt exactly over the hill .Maybe your the one to do it and make the top $$ by mid thirties? I wouldnt muck around thinking about it any longer if your going to make a move though.
Dont leave anything to chance ,go to the best possible trainer, a proven one.
Nothing is ever impossible.
I dont think Medicen balls are much chop unless your using them to throw to each other while moving around the ring so it helps with landing in balance and getting power into your shots through your movment.
Maybe theres some muscle memory thing that occurs on impact that may help when getttig hit there?
I dont think it will harm you.
It probably makes the situps alot more interesting if the truths known.
One example that pops to mind is Matt Skelton. He is now the English, British, Commonwealth and WBU Heavyweight Champion. He turned a pro boxer in 2002 aged 35 after a career in K2 or something like that. His pro record currently reads 17(16kos)-0-0.
However, it is alot easier for Heavyweights to start late than lighter weights. If I were you, I’d move to 175lbs and build up 3-10lbs of muscle and try and get stronger because speed is less vital the higher weight you are, but power gets more vital.
