Great tips man! Another amazing way to condition yourself is an alpine/ high incline treadmill. Even a short workout (10 minutes) at a 30° incline will murder your lungs at first, but if you keep at it for a bit, you become absolutely indestructible
@@coachpillowfists Absolutely Coach, like you, I tend to avoid it as it's not as fun, but will definitely be putting in the effort now. To be fair every time I have had a fight scheduled the boxers at my gym (I'm MMA) all say the same thing "Are you putting your miles in?"
Great tips coach. Nasal breathing has TONS of benefits mental and physical! And there is DEFINITELY something to having exhilarating action on the TV. "Just don't put on Devin Haney fights" LOL. I know you were kidding but that was funny as hell!
Hey coach Chris Excellent tutorial I found out everything you say is so important and correct Wind is possibly the most important thing the old time bare Knuckle boxers of the 1700s and 1800s used to call it bottom ! And if our opponents have got more bottom than us they will win and we will loose Cheers coach Chris keep up the excellent work 💪🥊
I, when training from A to Z, always have my mouthpiece in place. That way you naturally breathe through your nose and become accustomed to it. I also run 5 miles normally with my mouth guard, and then jog backwards on the way home, slowing the pace down a little bit because I shadowbox. This uses muscles in your legs and feet that normally are not active, making you a fitter and more complete fighter.✌️🔥 🥊
@@andyjiang744 I did 3 miles on the treadmill, 3-4 days per week, in the format of how I explained in the video about jogging the first quarter mile, increasing the speed on the next quarter mile, increasing the next again, then sprinting the last quarter mile. People say the treadmill is not as good as running on the ground, but I like the treadmill because (1) it's easier on my joints and (2) it forces me to run at increased paces versus running on the ground, it's very easy to just slow down and not push yourself as much.
I wouldn’t say so. Stair master is good for building muscle and endurance in your legs/glutes, but you need running to get that pure cardio training to its fullest capacity.

Sounds intensive! I appreciate your input!
@@coachpillowfists I appreciate your content! I've learned quite a bit from you!
@barrettkillam I’m happy to hear that bro! I’ve missed a few weeks, but I hope to get back on the videos soon.
HIIT is the only way to train for combat sports. Well demonstrated and explained
Thank you! HIIT is definitely important, especially for those heavy exchanges, but long distance cardio is also vital for the gas tank.

@@sadakatsyed1225 💯%! If anyone ever had a bad sparring day, the coach would be like, "You didn't run this weekend, did you?" 😂

Thanks Andrew! 😂 You know most humor has a little truth to it…. 😂
Solid tips, thanks coach!
Thank you bro! ✊🏽
I just found your channel and love your content! Clear and concise! Been boxing for 3 months and your content is definitely helping me sharpen up!
Hey bro I appreciate the love and support! Looking forward to being part of your boxing journey! 💪🏽🥊

That makes a lot of sense. Great way to add on to your road work! Thank you for your input! 👌🏽👌🏽
this is exactly what i need to be doing, thanks coach! little humor at the end too lmao
😂 I’m glad you liked the humor! Thanks Zed! 🙏🏽💪🏽
Damn, never thought about this during the runs. Will implement as shared, thnx coach!! 😮💨😮💨😮💨🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽
Awesome bro! I hope it works out well for you! 💪🏽
Everyone hates running lol!
For real bro! But I hate getting punched in the face while tired more, so that’s the motivation! 😂
@@coachpillowfists Too true lol. How long do you usually run for when training for amateur matches?

@@coachpillowfists Thanks man! Yeah I agree it's way to easy to just relax when running outside.
Put on a William Zepeda fight and realize that guy is just built different!
William Zepeda is a beast! Can't wait to see him against the top dogs in the lightweight division 💪🏽.
Do you think the stair master machine is a good substitute for running?
I wouldn’t say so. Stair master is good for building muscle and endurance in your legs/glutes, but you need running to get that pure cardio training to its fullest capacity.
So should I do jog for 5 minutes and then sprint as fast as possible 30 seconds and repeat? I can only run outside because I don't have a treadmill
That works. I recommend jogging then increasing your speed every few minutes then sprinting.
would this work for wrestlers as well?
Absolutely. It would work for any combat sport.
Don’t be putting on any Shakur Stevenson fights either, you’ll fall asleep while running
😂 Honestly though it depends on the fight. I actually enjoyed him vs Jamel Herring.
lmao haney
🥱🤣
If you wanna be a beast, try bare feet running
