nice work man .. keep it up

[cmaldonado8]

how much would that had sucked if he would had slammed the ball on his foot hahah lol. but no really this looks like a good regiment, ill give it a whirl.

[GeetarAdam]

You guys should stop kicking the walls; especially when you've got heavy bags nearby.

[ShaolinHero1]

What is that handstand, wall jump thing, I've never seen that before, what's the purpose??

[GeetarAdam]

For one, it would be a great core conditioning exercise. Also, seems like it would help you to pop out of guard and get back on your feet more quickly.

[ShaolinHero1]

Dunno, doesn't seem that practical. Might be good for springing on top of someone though.

[GeetarAdam]

Man, it strengthens and conditions the lower back. Those muscles are used in nearly every movement. If you don't aren't doing any lower back work to balance your stomach work you're missing out and risking injury.

@ShaolinHero1 GeeterAdam is right. It takes a lot of core strength to do the wall thrusts. Its very similar to a snatch, in that it is a fullbody extension. They also strengthen the legs and shoulders. Exploding from the down position is sport specific to wrestling and combat sports.

whell...i do 150 at warmup:)

[amirabdalla]

the first exercise is very good....kick boxers also do it....about 200 at warmup

[TOWinkworthIpswich]

it cant be plyometric then if they do 200 lol

[ShaolinHero1]

Damn right lol

[Bugsbunny808]

So with all that conditioning? what's the guys fight record?

[danewhitted]

This kid was a high school wrestler that came to for some off season conditioning.

[dinadad0107]

thx man good info

[dinadad0107]

i have couple of questions.

i dont have a rope in my gym so what can i do insted?

how many repititions should i do?

what do you do after you finish all of the drills? do you rest for a minute and do them again?

[danewhitted]

You could use a pull up bar instead of a rope, or just substitute sit ups for the leg lifts. Reps depends on your level fitness. If you can do 3 laps, 20 reps of each station, with 3 minutes rests between laps you are in pretty good shape.

[danewhitted]

The ball slam develops explosive power mainly in the lats. Which is one of the muscles responsible for pulling, opposite of pushing (punching). If the pulling muscles are undertrained, they will inhibit the pushing muscles. By strengthening your back, your chest will perform optimally.

[Tutchmydog]

is the ballslam specifically for grabbing their head and kneeing it? i mean is there any need for a boxer to practice that?
