Lost_BMW said: Here's a thought, just for you to muse over. Boxing is still, in many cases, back in the stone age when it comes to S&C but - possibly on the coattails of MMA where it's much more advanced - the interest is growing and more and more fighters and their promoters are getting into it. Some so called S&C or fitness coaches in the boxing world don't seem to have any qualifications, some just boxing trainers who think that allows them to say they are s&C coaches for boxers too, and peddle s  te, hardly any different from just circuits from what I've seen of some. So, you might try getting a few boxers, maybe some amateurs or up and coming guys and do a cycle or camp with them, see what impact/results it gets and - as well as the learning for you - maybe build a portfolio of clients/experience and some word of mouth or references to move up? I reckon that could be one niche where there'd be a growing market and less established competition. Definately worth considering, thanks for that. You've hit the nail on the head why it is a difficult industry to get into because all (most) of the jobs are already taken, with 100s of people waiting for each vacancy that appears. With S&C it really helps if you play or have participated in the sport your're coaching as you know the demands much much better. Unfortunatly boxing is somthing I have never done so it will take a bit of work for me to get my head around it - on the plus side I do know the head british boxing S&C coach so can hopefully get sone pointers from him!

5 mins running 1 x 20 minute non stop round on wrecking ball Then tried some single arm rows but laying flat on the bed to take any leverage/momentum down as a substitute for a high bench for 'bench rows' and as a better (theory not reality!) way than the kneeling over the improvised speaker stand/bag platform I've been using. Started with 85lb and couldn't do it! Just wanted to pull me off the bed. Dropped it to 60lb and OK - if harder than expected - on one side where I could brace my hand on the floor. On the right hand couldn't do this and just could not pull it up without feeling like the next step would be me through the ceiling. Has anyone here done bench rows or used this?

I like the look of that, have you got the cash to buy it? Is it too specialised? No, don't have the cah I'm afraid - that's why I've put up with the painfully clunky substitute. Every time I do it and the crushing pain is flooding through my chest I have to think "this is saving me £500, get on and bear it"!I'm trying stuff like this that avoids the risks to my ultra dodgy lower back but offers a change from the usual pulldowns and cable rows. Even T Bars done really carefully have caused a few twinges lately and some warning signs I shouldn't avoid.

Weighted dips up to 35kg and weighted pullups up to 30kg, then some close grip bench work, just lightweight stuff at 60kg, along with a burn up on the bench then some weighted crunches to finish.
Lost, the Watson stuff really isn't cheap at all, is it? Superb quality I'd imagine tho, I'd love some of their kit for our place.

A quick, rushed one after work and before fetching the kids home
Seated high angle row (@ c.60 degrees) - 180lb = 1 x 38
Kneeling dumbbell bench row - 80lb = 1 x 10 (both knees on floor, chest hanging over bench & propped up higher on a heavy bag)
Single arm dumbbell row - 80lb = 1 x 17
Single arm Grappler rows - 90lb - 12 x per arm, from behind back - awkward & hard, seen in a video about the similar Renegade system
T Bar Rows - 90lb - 1 x 35 with medium hand spacing on extension handle
1 x 20 with wide grip
1 x 56 with close, hand-over-hand grip
Seated low pulley cable rows - 140lb = 1 x 30
5 minute non stop round of power punching on wrecking bag - with my 'big' gloves on!
4 minute round of speed work on suspended ball
Still dripping sat her 30 mins later and after the shower!

Wednesday night - 5-a-side football league. Ankle held up well and I managed to bag 5 goals.
Thursday - hilly bike ride in perfect conditions - 34 kph average.
Friday - first run of the winter season. Will run every Friday now until the last Friday in December. Ran about 10kms with 750ft of elevation. Very hard going and a big shock to the system!
Also went to the gym today, mostly weighted pull ups and dips, standing military press and curls. Medium to short term goals this winter - to slightly cut down on the bike but be fit enough for the winter sportive series; to run 20 hilly kms; to get a pb in my squats sometime after Christmas - 116kgs I think; to do a 20 rep squat with 100kgs; try to keep my body fat levels between 6 - 8% which would be nice.

Yesterday, I did 5 hours of climbing including about 40 front lever raises. More than 24 hours later, I still feel it! I was hoping to go climbing tomorrow afternoon. That won't be happening.

Lots of bb presses and rows and some db bicep work. Finished with the 300 rep kettlebell circuit of push-ups, sdlhp and swings. I am training a bit better now after quite a long period of having no oomph. I am going to keep dropping the weight to under 175 and then maybe try to put some muscle on. My 34" jeans are hanging off me now and I need a belt to keep them up
