1. Always make sure you are fit and ready for a fight, when you are “off season”. Boxers peak at the end of their training for a fight, with training typically lasting a few months. They then rest completely until a few days before the full fight.

Then it is recommended to take at least a few days off, up to a week (for example after a maximum of 3 months training) before training again to stay fit (and stay fairly close to your fighting weight class). , to aspire to be Hit the weight on weigh-in day preferably!) and improve your ability to prepare for training for the next fight.

This allows boxers to train more intensely due to rest periods and not try to go full intensity all the time. It’s a smart, scientific, and professional way of doing things that all the best professionals do. If you are an amateur or simply practice fitness / self-defense, we recommend this training and rest plan…

2. Eat well. Approximately up to 80% of your training is your nutrition, believe it or not! Eat a lot of meat and 2 vegetarian type meals. Eat protein sources such as poultry (eg, chicken), fish, eggs, and lean red meat. Try to have around 35% protein in your diet.

Eat carbohydrates with your protein sources, such as low-fat French fries, rice, pasta, and things like noodles and couscous if you feel like it. Try to have about 40% carbohydrates (carbohydrates) in your diet.

Eat your vegetables. Not only that, but also eat other vegetables like mixed greens (frozen is fine) and salads.

Make sure you have plenty of healthy fats for joint health, which is particularly important in boxing for your wrists and shoulders primarily. Healthy fats also naturally produce testosterone. Omega 3 essential fatty acids can be found primarily in fatty fish such as tuna, salmon, flax seed oil, and green leafy vegetables. Omega 6 can be found mainly in vegetable oil, sunflower oil and sesame oil.

Tip: try to buy tuna in sunflower oil and cook your chicken/fish etc. in sunflower oil, for some cheap and easy omega 6 (and some omega 3 too).

Saturated fats and cholesterol are fine in moderation, because they’re actually needed for testosterone production.

Try to get about 25% – 30% fat in your diet and of this have 1/3 saturated fat, 1/3 polyunsaturated fat and 1/3 monounsaturated fat.

At best (which can be a bit inconvenient for some), eat every 2-3 hours to ensure maximum energy and no fat gain. Cook your food in bulk and put it in the fridge/freezer ready for the next day/next week, and you’ll save a small fortune!
