The boxing workout schedule I give people for solo bag sessions

7 days, built for whenever you're training solo on the bag.

Monday's technique, slow and clean. Tuesday rotates through a few combos at moderate pace. wednesday's full power. thursday's active recovery, shadowboxing only, no bag. friday folds defense into combos. saturday's the full 6 round session, warmup through cooldown. sunday's off completely.

the thing that makes it work solo is the intensity doesn't stay high every day. alternating it is what keeps you from burning out or plateauing when there's nobody in the room to tell you to back off.

Take this flurry combo to your next session

Flurry. Then duck.

Jab, cross to set the pace. Lead hook, rear hook back to back, no reset in between. Duck before the return lands. Cross to close it out.

Four straight through is more than most people string together before they even think about defense. The duck's there because after four in a row, something's usually coming back at you.

u/JulianDavis_JD — 7 days ago

Take this full session to your next workout

6 rounds, real fight timing.

Warmup easy first. Round 2 is technique, same combo but slow and clean. Round 3 is the same combo again, full power this time. Round 4 brings in the slip and duck combo, round 5 is just output till the tank's empty, then cool down.

Same combo shows up twice on purpose, technique first so it's clean, then power once the pattern's actually there. Most people skip straight to swinging and never fix what's underneath it.

Speed and reflexes vs body work and timing. RJJ or Canelo?

Roy Jones Jr. Speed, reflexes, untouchable at his peak.

Canelo. Body work, timing, undisputed at his peak.

Same weight. Who wins?

Pacquiao threw this combo better than anyone

Jab to set the entry. Cross to the body drops the guard. Lead hook comes upstairs while they're reacting. Cross resets. Lead uppercut through the middle. Cross closes it out.

The cross to the body early is what makes this work. Most people go head first. This one attacks the body before the guard adjusts and everything after lands cleaner because of it.

Drill it slow first. The body shot timing takes a few sessions to feel natural.

Holyfield vs Usyk: two undisputed champions, who wins?

Holyfield had the heart, the chin, and the combination work to beat anyone in any era.

Usyk has the IQ, the footwork, and the undisputed run at two weights.

Who takes it and how does it end?

Take this peekaboo combo to your next session

Weave in. Unload. Weave out.

Weave first, just to get moving before anything's thrown. Hook and cross come while you're still loaded from it. Weave again to reset the same look. Cross sets it up again, rear uppercut finishes up the middle.

The repeat weave is what makes it peekaboo instead of just a combo with a slip in it. You're never standing square long enough for anyone to time you.

Who had the best boxing IQ of all time?

  • Ali - read opponents mid-fight and adjusted faster than anyone in history.
  • Mayweather - his entire career was built on making you think you had him.
  • Usyk - chess player, sets traps three combinations ahead of where you're looking.
  • Whitaker - made elite fighters look like beginners with pure ring intelligence.
  • Jones Jr - operating on a completely different level in his prime, saw everything.
  • Lomachenko - most complex angles and setups the modern era has ever seen.

A core routine built for women, not just crunches

If your ab routine is 90% crunches, you're training endurance in one direction and ignoring stability everywhere else. This one leans into control and total core stability instead of just burning through reps.

  1. Dead Bug — 3 sets, 12-15 reps per side
  2. Bird Dog — 3 sets, 12-15 reps per side
  3. Plank — 3 sets, 30-45 sec hold
  4. Bicycle Crunch — 3 sets, 15-20 reps per side
  5. Side Plank Hip Dip — 3 sets, 12-15 reps per side
  6. Superman — 3 sets, 15 reps

Move slow on dead bug and bird dog, that's where the actual strength comes from, not speed. Rest 30-45 sec between moves.

This is one of the routines programmed inside Abs Pro if you want it timed out for you instead of counting reps yourself.

Everyone jabs first, that's exactly why this combo works

2-3-2-6. Cross, lead hook, cross, rear uppercut. No jab to open.

Almost everyone jabs first on the bag, every time, it's wired in. Lead with the cross instead and you're already inside their timing before they've adjusted.

Ali did this on purpose, right hand lead, since nobody expects it. Feels wrong the first few rounds, worth drilling anyway.

An app that just tells you what ab exercises to do today - Abs Pro

We're the team behind Abs Pro, the app this sub grew out of. Quick intro so new people know what's going on here.

We built it because ab training has one real problem: no plan. You do some crunches, maybe a plank, call it a day, and you have no idea if you're actually progressing or just repeating the same random exercises you saw somewhere. So we built what we wanted ourselves: open the app, it tells you exactly what to do that day, you follow along.

It's a 30-day progressive program, starts easy and builds from there, so by the end you're doing real work, not still guessing. Every exercise has an on-screen demo and timer built in, so you're never standing there wondering if your form's right.

There's also a Plank Challenge and Sit-Up Challenge built in if you want to test where you're at and track it over time.

About this sub: you don't need the app to post here. Form checks, workout questions, home setups, progress reports, all of it welcome. And if something in the app is broken or confusing, tell us. We read everything.

Six boxing guards every boxer should study

  • Traditional - balanced, simple, works for most situations.
  • High - hands at the temples, absorbs punishment up close.
  • Long - lead arm extended, controls distance and disrupts timing.
  • Philly Shell - shoulder rolled up, built for countering and making opponents miss.
  • Peek-a-boo - tucked tight in a crouch, built for pressure and inside work.
  • Low - hands down, relies entirely on reflexes and head movement.

Which guard do you use and has it changed over time?

u/JulianDavis_JD — 28 days ago

Speed or power? which one wins?

Pacquiao brings nonstop pressure, southpaw angles, and hand speed nobody at lightweight has ever seen.

Davis brings timing, one-punch KO power, and a chin that hasn't been seriously tested.

There's also ongoing rumors for this fight.

Does speed or power win this one?

Take this body combo to your next session

Kill the body and the head falls.

Jab, cross to set the entry. Hook to the body drops the guard. Rear uppercut comes up the middle. Duck the return. Close with a cross.

The duck is what makes it. Defense built into the attack, and the final cross lands clean because they didn't see it coming.

Drill it on the bag until it flows.

Add this to your next bag session

The 1-2-slip-3-2B-6 is one of those combos that feels awkward the first ten times and then clicks all at once.

Jab and cross to set the distance. Slip to avoid the counter. Lead hook off the slip to punish their reaction. Cross to the body to drop the guard. Rear uppercut comes straight up the middle when they least expect it.

The slip in the middle is what makes it work. Most people forget defense exists inside a combo. The slip resets your position and the hook lands cleaner because of it.

Drill it slow until the slip feels natural. Then speed it up.
