this is a nice article regarding heavy bag training
and using "punch out" drills(video of this http://www.rossboxing.com/heavybagdrills.wmv) for anaerobic conditioning:

i want to know if it is ok to do this type of training daily or should it be done with a days rest in between?

Good read!
I don't know if I've eevr only done four rounds of bagwork thogh. My trainer back in the day had an unhealthy preoccupation with bagwork. I still shoot for 15 rounds every time I get out there. Gonna try those punch-out drills thogh...they sound intense!

Thanks for that.

A good kick in the ass for someone who has been "pacing himself" out of shape.

DAMN! that dude is like a locomotive charging down the track with those punch out drills. Thanks for the link.

What's the name of the heavy, round bag that he used in the second portion of the video?

How is the punch out anerobic?

That's anarobic because there is no way your lungs could keep up.

My old coach used to call those "blitz drills", we'd do them about once a week at the very end of the workout. You probably wouldn't want to do it every day, but if you're only doing bagwork about 2-3x a week you could finish up with those without any problems, I'm willing to bet.

Ronin,

What say ye? Is that a sloppy freak-out, or meaningful and specific-enough punch training?

Dumbass. Anaerobic conditioning is quick and intense, and happens BEFORE you cross over into the aerobic threshhold. When you cross back from the aerobic threshhold into anaerobic training again, that's when your muscles fail and you fall over.

TBM: So is that a good thing to do?

What? Doing short burst anaerobic conditioning? Absolutely, especially if you do short bursts in your activity. Most athletes do both anaerobic and aerobic activities in their sport. Wrestlers and Football players (particular linemen and the like, but also running backs who sprint for the most part) are great examples of athletes who primarily do anaerobic activity, but also need aerobic conditioning to last.

The power boxing was fine, the guy had good form and foot work,
The punch out seemed pointless.

Good. I usually blitz out at the end of a workout. Hence "punch out"

TaeBo: I confused here.

Anaerobic conditioning is quick and intense, I understand.

But what do you mean by it happening BEFORE crossing over into the aerobic threshold?

And what does crossing back into anaerobic training mean.

As I understood it, it was:

1) aerobic -> anaerobic (less intense to more intense)
2) muscle failure within anaerobic
3) anaerobic -> aerobic (more intense to less intense)
