Died and went to hell...A DAY IN TRAINING
Today, I had a private session with my trainer. It was 2 hrs of hell. He gave me drills that he had recieved from the track star Donavan Bailey, I think his name was.
It was all plyometrics, stuff like jump squats, and alot of that explosive jumping stuff, sprinting and stair climbers . Then after about 45 min, we did 15 min of abs with the medicine ball which involved him throwing it at my stomach then me getting the ball and throwing it back up. Then after we got in the ring and I had just my mouth piece and a light headgear. He directed me in the corner and told me to only block the punches, he f*uckin drilled me for 2 rounds. After he brought out the thai pads and he told me to do a roundhouse then turn to the right side, where he kicked me in the liver. We did 20 reps of this and after ten, I started falling to the ground after he kicked me. Finally he did another drill where I would just stand there and he kicked me in the stomach with different kicks.
Finally he told me that we were done, and as I was trying to catch my breath I asked him what kind of conditioning if any was necessary for my shins. He then goes "Ah, I knew I forgot something!"
He dragged me to the chair and told me not to move, he tried to look for a stick, but couldnt....but my stars, he found a 5 lbs dumbell instead!! And he held onto me and dragged that cursed piece of metal hard as he could down my shins, about 20 times up and down...after the left, he did the right.
After I got out of the showers he told me " Never do this drill, its bad for you. You never should really need any conditioning other than the thai pads and the heavy bag.
Guess i had to find out the hard way!
This Friday, he told me that he is taking me to a park to run the
"hill"
Today was a really important day in training for me because I have finally realized what its like to take part in such a demanding sport. It was a test of my heart, and supposedly it is going to be 10x worse. I have no idea how I can handle this, I actually considered quiting, thank god it was only a fleeting though. I hope I will never ever quit, because after this, I know I will become a better person.
Have any of you people considered quiting training when you have started ? How did you get past all that and find the heart to move on?? What was your hardest class like??
On a brighter note, my gym is OFFERING SHOOTFIGHTING. I think someone from above is listening to my prayers.....all I need now is more money!
