Looks like Intermediate Boxing will feature sparring. I went on Tuesday and Thursday, and my partners, with whom I did not spar, were a senior in MSE and a freshman in ChemE, respectively. The latter was a bit overenthusiastic for his skill and size, a Dominican Republican native. I thought it was cool to be partnered up with a real-life Hispanic boxing fan. I am also clearly a nerd about these things.
Watch some solid boxing. ESPN2's Friday Night Fights has been a boon to me as of late, giving me Korean hot lightweight prospect Ji Hoon Kim knocking out a craftier, more experienced fighter in Tyrone Harris. In addition, Showtime gave me a glimpse of Edwin Valero - not of his legendary power, but of his ability as a boxer-puncher as he suffered a huge ass cut on his forehead en route to pounding the Mexican warrior Antonio DeMarco into submission. Finally, Nonito Donaire gained me as a massive fan after I caught wind of his dynamism as he knocked out a hugely outclassed challenger.
I think that about covers boxing class and news. Haven't been to Muay Thai for a variety of reasons, and by reasons I mean excuses. Most reason one is that I wanted to go to the gym today... because I skipped yesterday, but let's ignore that.
Warmup sets
- Squat 5x45, 5x135, 5x225
- Press 5x45
- Row 5x45
Work sets
- Squat 5x245, 5x255, 5x260
- Press 5x95, 5x100, 5x105
- Row 5x115, 5x120, 5x125
- Dips 5xBW, 5xBW, 5xBW
Dunno about proper form for dips, but whatever. I'm tacking 'em on. Felt strong on presses today. Squats are tough, but I think I managed at least three good ones out of five on that last set. Rows are the weakest; I felt good at 120 but wrecked at 125. Probably had to do with recuperation times. Here we go!
