Rocky Balboa's mistakes (a follow up)

WHAT ROCKY SHOULD HAVE DONE:

1. Concentrate on speed, speed and more speed! He did some strength work but they focused on too much power. There was no balance.

2. Shadow boxing with 60 pound weights... are you kidding me? He should have shadow boxed with 2 pound weights. It would be better.

3. Boxed some more--- practiced some more to focus on skill. From a long lay off the boxing style movements are the ones that suffer. He should have done more of that.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WAS JUST A MOVIE. But I just felt like giving an input for the newbies who think that boxing training is done that way. The answer is a big NO!

Rocky Balboa's training mistakes

Ok here are his mistakes:

1.He is lifting so heavy. That will make him slow. Oh yes, his coach mentioned that he can't do anything else because he has arthritis or something, but what he is doing actually aggravates whatever he feels.

2.He doesn't have any boxing equipment or any speed work whatsoever. Now, his speed suffers. In boxing, you have to consider factors such as agility, fast-twitch movements, the snap of the punches etc. Rocky didn't take that into account.

3.I know it's just a movie, but he exaggerated all the lifting. Strength work is valuable in this sport. However, you have to do it right. What he is doing is not in the scope of boxing training. Maybe, competitive power- lifting.

Rocky Balboa is still an awesome movie about life. It teaches all of us to never give up no matter what the obstacles are. I think the training scene is still awesome though. When I watched this movie for the first time all I wanted to do was train. The fight scenes are not realistic but... THE MOVIE IS A CLASSIC!

It definitely has the TRAINLIKEABOXER Awesome Guarantee!
