How to Train for Boxing : Sit Up Techniques for Boxing Training

[Nunziohotpants]

also lay on your back and kick with both feet into the air, it works your stomach better than sit ups

[CutePoniesLOL]

[jockeslukarn]

[CutePoniesLOL]

@jockeslukarn well exleast u have them ive got like one but the when i sit it goes away but im gettin better :)

[MCKHP]

Army term PT = PHYSICAL TRAINNING

[thaJackal1984]

WRONG! Fixing the feet like that! whaaat? Jokin aincha!

Er,, Iliopsoas! 'Hip flexors! all your doing is shortening & tightening them!

Which will eventually cause strain on the lunbar vertabrae!

The rectus abdominus originates at the xiphoid process under the sternum and attaches to the pubis synthesis! To work this area all you have to do is draw ur hips toward your chest lying down or your chest toward your hips!

Get creative! and that aint googled! learn about your anatomy!

Lol No Hooks Before Books I Can Dig That

[mhrreplicacarbon]

This isn't the right way. Place the tips of your fingers on the back/side of your head and fix your eyes on a certain spot on the ceiling. Don't put pressure on your hands, cause it'll pull your neck up which is bad for the neck, and makes the excerise easier at the same time. Another thing is I hope that wooden thingy comes loose next time the camera is rolling, and the guy that asked for thumbs up is fuckin gay.

[MCKHP]

Thanks Sir...I use those crunch tips before i do PT in the Morning....nice tip on crunches..

no hooks before books.

[nadirflag]

@MCKHP Hey there, whats a PT? xD

[Triple25mm]

i'm not sure if this is the best way... maybe wrapping arms around chest takes preessure off neck musscles? not sure tho...

[63legendary]

@Triple25mm If you use only your gut, there will be NO PRESSURE on your neck at all. I promise.

[Triple25mm]

@63legendary Ok thanks, that makes sense now I think about it. :)

[Mr99tko]

no hooks before books

[aaronracine]

this is the right way

[KFCfurkan]

what?

suck my dick

[Solowizard]

Nice constructed bench. I wonder if you could do the Floyd Mayweather sit-ups using that bench?

[Solowizard]

Didi he say "set up techniques"??? - I always thought is was called sit up.

[Paulsen00]

Don`t know when this is posted, cause this is old-time sit ups, but sit ups has barley no effect from 65-70* and up to 90* as his doing from 45* to 90*. This is a half cheating sit up. You should go from no longer down then around 30* (to avoid back problems) and up to around 60-65 (suit yourself). you should spend 2-3 seconds on your way down, as you use all your force getting back up, also keep your chin up high, if you do try this out, you will feel it a lot more in your stomach.

[xXTitoman66Xx]

He goes halfway because that's as far as you need to go. If you relax the crunch all the way, you'll end up partially resting the lower back and ab muscles as your upper back lays against the mat and then put a lot of stress and strain on them coming back up. Successive resting and straining don't mix with muscles. It may feel like your getting a better workout (you are), but that could hurt you in the long run.

[PsboyX360]

I used to do atleast 60 situps in one day, not at the same time, like 30 in d morning, 30 in d evening, but when I got my xbox... I do atleast 20 in one day :(, I gotta start exercising more often for the ladies

[AbeTrollinMon]

HES WRIGHT IN 1 THING ITS VITAL IN BOXING!

[KOBEBRYANTBESTEVER]

[derbigpr2010]

@KOBEBRYANTBESTEVER did built up u know start with 50 then 100 etc?

[KOBEBRYANTBESTEVER]

@derbigpr2010 yea basically,i use to do 4 sets of 100, now i just do 400 straight. you could start with sets 50 though if you cant do 100 right away.

[tehshortnoob]

@KOBEBRYANTBESTEVER I do 25 x 5 times a day and next week im trying 50! Been going for a month, cant do more than 45 atm tho :S

[tehshortnoob]

@derbigpr2010 I do 25 x 5 times a day and next week im trying 50! Been going for a month, cant do more than 45 atm tho :S

[IXIWineIXI]

@818indaEaStSid3 Did you pick up your welfare check?

[tjtjtjtjtj1992]

those sit up, he only goes half way down, weak! 

[LittoBUbbo]

@tjtjtjtjtj1992 umm when u dont go all the way down it puts resistances on your abdomen, when you go all the way down your relaxing... so he's actually not weak, hes got a lot more endurance and stamina

[NinjaLikeTeaBagger]

@tjtjtjtjtj1992 That's why he calls them crunches fuckass.

[mrhyde1888]

that's just a regular crunch what does it have to do with boxing

[NinjaLikeTeaBagger]

@mrhyde1888 You'll learn why when someone gives you a hook to the body.

[Airickk2021]

did they really need to subtitle the numbers he counted?

[babeboyp]

this guy is a pro trainer so all of u shut  the fuck up

[duckduden]

Seen this under the name of lower back crunch, it trains your lower abs and lower back.

[paj2101]

I thought your suposed to only lift your body up to 45 degree...? Your doing it all the way up to 90 :S That will help less, and you'll hurt your back.

[Cryptoz4]

few things

1. expertvillage should be called loservillage, seriously.

2. sit ups are really bad for your back, its something they did 30 years ago ..

3. these arent even sit ups

[Airickk2021]

@Cryptoz4 ..loservillage. very clever, Dad!

[phunagewine]

do that and you'll have sore necks for a fortnight

[jvno1]

Those are not crunches... lol

[StephenMcCabeMusic]

Did I really just watch some guy talk about nothing, do 20 crunches, and call it an expert video? Yea, thanks coach.

[Raginmonky]

@StephenMcCabeMusic, what did you expect from a video showing how to do "sit ups"?

[SuperNinja2000]

I just watched this then did 100 of these and they cant be that hard, the only reason i stopped is b/c i became board. i probably could have done 200.

[hackmasterbrax]

well one day i got real bored and did 100 pushups and 300 sit ups could of done more but as ou said it gets boring

[apacheslim]

bored not board a board is an innate flat square shaped object that has multiple uses.

[SuperNinja2000]

@apacheslim thank you. lesson taken. peace be with you.

[t3hPhilip]

@apacheslim Sorry to say, but it's not necessarily square. Commonly it's just a quadriangular rectangle...

[apacheslim]

@t3hPhilip

A flat innate shaped object that is usually 4 sided.

[lordh4rk0nn3n]

wow i expected something special but rnt that normal sit ups? At least thats the way i always did them and i still dont get my six pack back -.-

i just started to do them hell slow and that terribly hurts but idk....25 sit ups....idk why he made a vid for that

[dalanhesegabe]

this is the worst way to do sit ups i know better ways thatll have better effects

[djds19]

you have to have good abs b4 you do this.

[WASTEMAN900]

you wouldn't out your hands behind your head cuz you can cause your self to get a hunch back

[hardrain08]

too much strain on back

[cutthroat53]

indonev123  u punk bitch i bet u cant throw dem thangs i put dat on cmgb nigga we can get em up

[flxhrnndz1]

well it worked for him and all the others...

[eleven107]

With this kind of exercises you are using you Psoas muscle and that's not good for your back.

[Rawwhhh]

@eleven107 That's true. You're giving your adductors a little workout when you do these. Wanna get a strong mid-section? Hanging Leg Raises. They'll rip you apart.

Also why are Expert Village showing a homeless guy trying to get out of bed anyway?

[eleven107]

@Rawwhhh, I didn't said the adductors, I said the psoas muscle.

[xSeraphia]

@eleven107 wait for putting your hands on your head, or just crunches in general?

[eleven107]

@xSeraphia, I said that it's not good to block your feets because you train your psoas muscle and you hurt your back.

Just put your leg on a chair.

[guayacan07]

These are crunches for boxers not for bodybuilders. To build strenght in the muscles and be able to take punches in boxing.

[radical228]

what if your a boxer and a bodybuilder aha

[guayacan07]

Nothin wrong with it but wouldnt it be better to be a boxer and a powerlifter?

[radical228]

yeah i like to be a powerlifter and a boxer idk why but these situps can be for anything there situps seriously situps are situps theres no different pushups for boxing  there all the same.

[Gorideyurbike]

@radical228 Doesn't work

Bodybulding ( steroids ) + boxing = fail

some over weight dude destroyed some 250 pound bodybuilder

[indonev123]

that's not crunches man..wtf is this? Anytime I see something from "expert Village" It's always garbage.

[malikstone1]

why r yah gettin a dude like that shhh hez just tryin to help out some folks out and this old dude will probably handle some of u lamez hating up here......yah kill me!

[4dizzl3]

i refuse to take advice from a guy trainin in blue jeans..he look like he finna go to work

[adilnaurzov]

i always do that... if someone holds my feet down

[Tucksywuxy]

1. he isn't tired

2. leave the guy alone, he looks to me to be quite on the riper side, 59ish, i garuntee that most of you are from 15-35.

3.he isn't tired

[eurohim]

Those aren't crunches. They look more like a person cheating when doing sit ups.

[tiwoodsta1]

no....trust me, going all the way on your fucking back is cheating cause it gives you time to rest....hes showing you how to do it the correct way....dont critique behind a keyboard pussy.

[rocketer90]

your right!! going half way is much harder...

[shaolinmantis77]

Why is this on expert village?

[DaK1LL]

what the hell.. how is that a technique ?! sdoifhwoeifq[d

[shabzbad]

he luks like he on crak mking sum mny for sum ROCK

[shabzbad]

u tired nly dne 27 sit ups an blud u cant count lmfao haha says he dne 20 but watch the video he does 27

[apocaRUFF]

He said he did 25, and he didn't count for 3-5 of them, since he was explaining how doing crunches is an effective way to get your stomach muscles built up and to keep them that way.

[justap1mp90210]

no you dont want to lay back down on your back, that gives your ab muscles a split second to relax. for an intense work out that ptus continuous stress on the abs and thus tears them and rebuilds them faster, do what he does. youtube sophists lose again.

[lilshakes124]

shit

[paolo27th]

Yes dude, I totally lay down and start doing sit-ups when people punch me in the face....

[Hugh594McIntosh]

this was soooooo bad, those were normal sit ups lol

the bottom of your back should be on the floor during crunches

[drummerman6142]

the last one i watched said not to put your hands behind your head and to keep the legs at a 45 degree angle this one is sooo differnent can some one tell me wich is right because i dont want to cause any injurys? thanks

[koopaovhull]

yea me to and its wrong to put your hands behind your head the army told me to put my hands across my chest :)

[Hugh594McIntosh]

both r good, u really want your arms completely relaxed by your side

[cheeepss]

What i've learned keeping your hands behind you neck dosn't cause any injures, but when u do crunches/sit-ups you shouldn't keep your hands behind you neck becouse it will make the practice easier and you training wont be perfect, i recomend you to keep your hands cross you chest instead, all tho thats what ive learned and i cant be sure that thats the right think to do :)

[art2raw1]

dont put your hands behind your head across your chest is better... its also important to build the muscle in your neck... plus holding your head could lead to injury

[beto4rmtheghetto]

hey i want to built that thing he has in his feet! now lets see a video of that!

[povilas125]

this not crunches is just normal sit ups

[art2raw1]

situps are all the way up and all the way down...they are hareder

[saren55]

lol u gotta start somewhere:P

[KidProdige14]

sit-ups you come up to a 45 degree angle its more effective

[hybridad1]

wow those ppl talking about boxers vs martial artists r totaly fucked lol i couldnt stop laughing non of them had a clue wat they were saying :o oh btw nice vid lol

[dolla69403]

back should be straight

[ItzCashew]

you would pinch some nerves that way. Plus with a curved back the abs are "crunched" together even better.

[hardrain08]

not even

[87943]

ur boxers must have soar backs

[supaAssasin2010]

thank you sir 4 this video

[NorBoxing]

Not the best training? :s Poor! ;L

[shyguyjakie]

poor form

[iamnathan2002]

he is doing it wrong. You should not put your hands behind your head because it straining the neck..

[Miklo77]

he's not holding it , you can put your hands there as long as you don't tighten your hold.

This is a basic sit up exercise. To bad he didn't show more

[JacksonDealer101]

EXACTLY!!!! plus it leads to kyphosis and not a full engagement of the muscle.

[brandonio579]

what does no hooks b4 books mean? does it mean to study if so thats gay

[stephenrobertrae]

it does lol unless you wanna break you finger or knuckles or wrists while fighting you better learn to punch

[absoluteanatomy1]

no it means study up on and practice your techniques and you will do better

[X2hedX]

Any Style of fighting is a Martial Art..... Boxing, Wrestling, Karate, Judo, Grappling, Kick Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Greco Wrestling, Tae Kwon Do. Theres over 200 Styles of fighting aka MARTIAL ARTS.

[iLL271]

i like how he miscounted and did 27 situps instead of 25..

iLL .

[ws2family]

... Damn! Now I know how to do situps!

[Boxingkid15]

i love this guy he doesnt help much in any of his lessons all he does is state the obvious and repetitively does all the tasks not telling u how to improve upon what u r doing wrong and alternate ways of doing it but hes cool

[ktrsh]

ty so much

[spgxrider]

is going down all tha way better or this way is better?

[king2be]

going all da down is good but you are more likely to get a neck or back injury. so if you just starting to do sit ups crunches are best.

[itzmedavido]

well to me when i go all the way down it feels easier it lets me rest a bit so if you want like a work out thats a bit harder DON'T go all the way down

[BelfastBrigade17]

yeah, you're right. it's like with weight-lifting. any time you put the weight down, you're resting, and thus not building the muscle. by putting your back to the ground, you're resting, and your abdominals are no longer tensed.

[AkhilleusWeeps]

"no hooks before books"

Is that what he said? Good motto.

[astralkarate]

his sit ups are actually not bad at all.... although i beleive you should mix, sit ups with leg raises and hand weights/leg weights. that way you never really get use to 1 thing... kepp the stomach always doing different... what i find burns is leg raises like so.... 1st set 21. pause hold for 3 seconds 6 inches off the floor .. then 15 for 3 seconds 6 inches off the floor paus.. then 12. hold 3 inches off the floor... the swop partnet..keep re-peating that you'll be strong as hell and ripped up

[millaz07]

nicely said

[jethrodboy]

thats why its called situps for beginners....

[MaksimBoyarskiy]

I think expert village is christian organization,because most of their videos is too softly and peacefully but not so teachful as they need to be o:) but...great thanks&respect to all trainers in expert village for my motivation in doining of all these exercise i was so lazy to do ;)

[scottyurfunnylol]

racist

[violin234]

Thank you for sharing your training ideas. Its seems to me that you are a good teacher with good intentions. The world would be better place to live if we all learn to respect each others point of view even if we do not agree.

[NekoKirasawa]

i was reading the comments to this vid after waching it and man do i have a headack. Pesonly i agree with u 100%. besides trying to compare boxing and martial arts isn't realy acurute, it depends on who the person is and how much they are willing to push themselves, Not what fighting style they use.

[reznick8]

why is everyone here arguing about power, fighting styles, and listing their fighting credentials here in a beginner boxing video about sit-ups? hmmm

[dragonschild2]

going too far up bad for you back, i find if you dont go all the way it works your abs better too puts more strain. ahh so much bad advice for people on this you tube. second bad clip i seen

[dusteper]

yeah, you took the words out of my mouth dude xD

[astrocaster]

what the hell are you talking about ?

Martial artist doesn't sacrifice anything!

It depends on how the person do the right thing

he should do!

You can't compare a boxing & martial arts...

Boxer wont used tackle attack,

But a Martial artist does it!

[masrock]

Martial artists are not usually faster than a boxer. And if so they sacrifice power for pure speed, like your 6 jabs a second bullshit. A boxer throws one or two hard sticking jabs, it's more effective than 6 pitty pats. Boxers have "best" pure punch out of any style of fighter. It's been proven by science.

[squall00258]

haha listen hea, seriously, you're a newbie when it comes to boxing or martial arts...

im a 2nd degree dan in shinto-ryu and TKD...

the faster you throw punches... the more power they will export stupid ass...

[masrock]

Yea, well you talk like a little bitch. Trying to talk hard online, you fake internet tough guy. You aren't tough or a good fighter, so shut your little mouth.

[squall00258]

i win!!!

[Daisuketokagakure]

And you're just a dumb bitch who insults fucking strangers because you think you're hard when in real life any person with any real martial arts training would fuck up your niggerdo in a second.

Go listen to rap and beat your wife you peice of shit

[dohboiii]

IM RAMPAGE JACKSON BITCH

[squall00258]

huh?

[JustBeingFunnyBro]

no hooks before books! lol

[masrock]

6 jabs a second? That's bullshit. You aren't faster than any boxers. Boxers are the fastest strikers there is. I will admit that the best martial artists out there are unstoppable, but only at the highest level. I would love to throw down with any amateur martial artist. I would relish in handing them their ass.

[squall00258]

yes i can... most martial artist are faster than boxers.... it's realitivly easy... build on you're triceps with resistance traing and throw jabs with 25 lbs in each hand for about 5 minutes straight...

and i am a amature MA and i can tell you that you would never win with me...

[masrock]

WTF are you talking about? Boxers train their legs all the time. Leg condition is a HUGE part of boxing training. Also, boxing isn't all inside fighting. Have you ever heard of stick and move? It relies on movement from the outside and controling space with your jab. So basically I'm going to be smacking your face with my jab and moving away while you try, unsuccessfully, to take me down or counter. You Martial Arts bitches are so clueless, it's laughable.

[squall00258]

hahahaaaaaaaaaa, listen fool

im going on a limb and saying that compared to MOST other martial arts...boxing is the worst...

yea yea, you will most likely win most street fights but if you're fighting somebody with a martial arts background you're fucked. you're knees are a boxers biggest weakness...i could knock a boxer out so damn easy it's pathetic

and i could throw 6 jabs a sec

and you're a boxer so you should know that the faster a punch is thrown the more power

speed = power

[bunts33]

force = mass x acceleration :)

and squall

all martial arts focus on different strengths and weaknesses

someone like mahammad ali could knock the fuck out of most martial artists when he was in his prime, you cant deny that. You cant just say that all boxers are fucked when vsing some karate guy.

all boxers also have different fighting styles aswell.

[squall00258]

well... it depends on what martial art you're talking about... muhammid ali would never win against 1 dan and higher of ninjutsu...

[eswanlund604]

you sound like the biggest flamer, just shut up now please. trying to compare martial arts and boxing makes you look like a complete idiot. i bet you've been training your ninjutsu crap for like half a year and think you're the shit, when in reality, you ARE shit.

[squall00258]

wow... watch out everybody, we got an internet gangsta here...

[shaolin1802]

martial arts and boxing arnt comparable, i do both but my boxing is a sport, i study kung fu and that martial art kills/dismembers ppl. in a fight with rules i wud be owned but without rules im fairly competant

[squall00258]

exactly, i have 2 2nd degree blackbelts and i can say that without rules... i would strike ganglias and other nerves

[masrock]

You don't know anything about boxing either. Boxers throw punches with full extension to the point of impact. Fully rolling over the shoulder and turning your body with the punch. You're talking about some little pit pat shit. No professional boxer punches that fast, because it's stupid and a waste of energy. Martial Arts has shitty and improper punching technique which is why they get their asses kicked in a fistfight.

[masrock]

Furthermore, you are a pussy, and I would beat your ass if given the opportunity to do so. That isn't tough talk. That is a reality.

[masrock]

You probably bought your "blackbelt" at the dollar store too, you poser.

[squall00258]

the only reality that is, is that i would murder you without consent. i bet you don't have the heart to kill somebody without thinking. and i also think you talk big on the internet to get attention...

my so called pity pats have a psi of 278...

so... 278x6=1668 per second... it takes about 450 to break a bone... and it takes 1100 to cause a true concussion... and that's just jabs...

go get you're golden gloves...

blackbelts are more meaningful

[shaolin1802]

its a shame ur in the us, if ur sayin a boxers punch is better than a martial artists, you would be right, proffesional-wise, in martial arts u take the techniques that work best, so we copy how the boxer rolls his shoulder to give us effective punches, btw in a "fist fight" with no rules, ur retarded if u only use hands

[dustylefou]

Western boxing is a martial art. :-\

[ws2family]

... I want to disagree with you.. But I don't seem to get your point.. So... We are retarded because we only use our fists..and in martial arts, you take techniques that work best?

[Dat1NuGGa]

dude boxing is a sport so is mma, ur a retard if you go around picking fights because u know how to fight, a real person would have the honor to kick someones ass when he has to

[relikvija]

imagine him doing 3000,3001,3002...

[masrock]

None of those MMA dudes can strike like a boxer can. If a boxer used those tiny gloves, guys would be dying in the ring. MMA fighters can't take a shot for anything, and they can't throw a punch like a boxer can. This has been proven by science.

[iamtheonlyhobo]

Although i am a boxing fan, it must be said that MMA is still a tough sport and shouldn't be looked at in a pitiful way.

However, it has been proven that boxing is a harder sport, as it requires dedication, endurance, power etc

the amount of lactic acid that builds up in a boxers muscles is 5 times as much as any other sport!!

[channelin]

no they wouldnt be dying in the ring however if the punches were to land several times then perhaps. your a fool if you think that boxing would last. boxing relies on close combat fighting that to any mma fighter is a major advantage and consequently danger to the boxer ,you get put in a clinch you're fucked if your only discipline is boxing, same with take downs i wont even begin to talk about ground fighting.

[channelin]

also realise the power of muay thai and karate kicks to the legs can put a boxers legs out of commision! especially since leg conditioning is literally absent

[ishavecats]

his forearms are fuckin beastly! thats a compliment by the way

[theoneandonlymasta]

Aha, ok, ty..

[theoneandonlymasta]

What does he say at the end? I can't hear it very good, something like like: Remember, low hooks before books?:P

[beheritage]

no hooks before books, or study first then fight

[vnms04cobra]

Sh4perX is a bitch..

fuck you..

i bet he'll kick you ass

so what if hes old

not many people his age can do that.

HATER.=]

[kingzaing]

he is good for som1 his age

[SoufChase]

KFM, bitches.

[Sh4rperX]

Those are some pussy old man sit ups.

Decline bench sit ups are the way to go.
