Boxer Don Concha completing GPP work before his fight at nationals in 2 weeks! The focus with most athletes that come through the program in the early stages is general rather than sport specific conditioning. I use the analogy building foundations of the house, no foundations... No house. In this video don is working at a 1:1 work rest ratio (1 min on, 1min off). Amateur fighters complete 3 x 3 min rounds in competition so to mimic game metabolic (energy) specificity or bioenergetics (flow of energy through the body) it would make sense when he has progressed with us to complete a 3:1 work:rest ratio = specificity performance. Examples could be; 1 min of battle ropes 1 min of dead ball slams 1 min of med ball chest pass 1 min rest 1 min of shadow boxing 1 min of tyre flips 1 min sledges 1 min rest 1 min of prowler pulls 1 min of med ball wood chop 1 min of mountain climbers This would develop the specific metabolic pathways involved in the skill to give him the conditioning to recover and repeat efforts. Better conditioning = better skills = better performance! Remember we compliment the skills, we give the physiological attributes involved the the skill to improve athletic performance. The great thing about Don and our other young gun boxer Campbell Somerville is the buy in we get to the WSSC athletic training systems. Without buy in or the athlete believing it will work our coaching or programming is useless! Coaches tip: strength for a boxer is VITAL, develop strength via a full kinetic chain for transference and athletic performance. Power is generated through the legs not the upper body in isolation. If you are MMA, kick boxer or a boxer contact WSSC now! Info@woodfordssc or PM.
