Some douchebag hit me with an elbow to the forehead our first time sparring and he wasn't wearing elbow pads either. I nailed him pretty hard after that.

I actually hate Kicking. I love boxing though

mebbe I'll visit a boxing Gym one day insha Allah. My punches got pretty good and I used to nail the guy with punches in between his kicks

Well actually I once mistakenly kicked him in the head and after that he got mad at me and went on a head kicking rampage

I've been battered by bigger people sparring a number of times, the fun part comes when you fight in an Exhibition match..KO's FTW

A good punch is no replacement for a well placed headkick. Boxing is good for learning to punch but on the street you'll need to know more than punching..trust me..i learned the hard way.

i do on my own stuff on a daily basis as well but for the majority of my weights i follow different plans..only because its really easy..and i get bored VERY VERY easily with the same stuff. so all the new fun stuff keeps me entertained and interested

if we're going to talk about the way these brand name work outs are advertised, thats a completely different story.

Its also better for your muscles if you mix it up and do different workouts.

I'm rather discriminatory in the sense that I object to my brains being scrambled

I've actually sort of mastered the art of Dancing (muhammad ali style). So when they get frustrated at me being constantly out of range, they sort of rush in to try to catch me off guard and that's when I let em have it on the nozzle

I agree though that punching alone wont hold my end up on the street.

This seems pretty low impact to me.....tendonitis notwithstanding

Do you think the last stretch shown would put too much pressure on your shoulder? If so avoid it......lemme know if this works for you.

I haven't really ben exercising much in the past week as I'm recovering from duff knee and shoulder tendonitis.

However because of my awesome eating plan i still lost 2lbs of fat..i'm a lean 180lbs now..considering 6 months ago i was tipping 200..i'm happy. I think i might try for 175 just to get the last bit of belly and chest fat off.

Its not a reach issue. It's a speed issue
