Ippo Prepares for Miyata

---------------------------------

Feeling some fatigue building up, so I'm glad I've got two off days coming up. (Well, as close to off days as I get.)  I'm excited to see how this workout is going to go with a couple of rest days. Even though the muscle fatigue is there, the cardiovascular improvements are quite apparent, so I'm looking forward to see if I can't stomp this workout's ass on Monday.

Still got several more months of this, so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. :P

Batman's Training- A Snapshot

At the request of a reader, I'm going to be posting some of Batman's training. The training schedule below is a week's worth of Batman's workouts. It contains a general outline of the exercises completed by Bruce Wayne and doesn't necessarily mean that this is all that he does. I'll do my best to start from the basics and build up to the level presented in this schedule, which is at a level that (in my opinion) absolutely above world class. Batman pushes all aspects of fitness to their absolute maximum. His strength, speed, balance, flexibility, accuracy, power, endurance, and skills have been honed through hours of constant, deliberate training and a defined goal of having a body capable of defending the streets of Gotham. 

Here's the snapshot. Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting the stages leading up to this starting from a base level of fitness and athleticism. You've heard of going from "fat to fit," now see how you go from "fit to Bat." (Corny? Yes. Awesome? Absolutely.)

Ponder this one for a while, why don't you? Until next time, good luck and train hard!

Ippo Prepares for Miyata

---------------------------------------------------

Definitely feeling some fatigue building from days of training, so I'm going to take tomorrow mostly off so I can recover. Also, I'm currently working on a training program for Batman (not anime, but it was a request) and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm going to try to post the first part of it in the next few days!

Daily Training- 4/3/2012

Ran around with Isaiah at the park for a little while. Around 5pm, a guy I met yesterday came over and we got to spar, which was a lot of fun!

Stand-up Sparring- Approx 45 Minutes

Hopefully, I'll get to spar with him a lot more, because he's got a bit of an unconventional style and he's got at least 30lbs on me (but he's still pretty fast). We didn't really do rounds or anything. The sparring was mostly light to medium, but had it's harder moments. I'm really looking forward to seeing if we can get a few more people together to spar on a regular basis. I'll spar with anyone! :D

Caught an elbow to the foot, so I've got some swelling there (it's not too bad) and I had a little bit of bloody nose at the end. It was good to hit and get hit again. I've had a general lack of sparring partners due to my work schedule, because I have been unable to get to an MMA gym or a dojo on a regular basis. However, that will hopefully be changing soon.

----------------------------------------------------

This takes us through year four of Ippo's training and it's going to get a lot tougher from here on in. After Ippo fought Sendo the second time, there was a slight decline (in my opinion) in the level of his training. This is natural, because he had been putting himself through quite a lot in general. However, he finally picks the intensity back up toward the later portion of this year.
