I’m 23 years old, 5’10” and 180 lbs. I’m slightly overweight (which I can’t seem to lose because my NEAT is too low).
I train 3 times a week at a club, 2 hours per session.
More recently, I’ve also been training at a friend’s house who has his own equipment, holds the pads, etc. 2 to 3 times a week as well, but it’s really very recent. Let’s just say I’m counting on that to FINALLY make some progress.
The problem is that after 3 years, I’m not seeing ANY real progress.
So yes, I jump rope at full speed, with double jumps, all of that is well and good, but in reality, I get smashed in sparring by the most inexperienced beginner. I try not to feel tense, and sometimes I even feel jaded from taking so many hits, almost ready to say “stop” and stop the fight. I pull myself together, I focus, sometimes I try not to think, sometimes I try to think, but no matter how I try, I get LATTEED.
Worse still, I regularly injure myself.
For example, tonight I can’t put my foot on the ground. I also have a torn ligament (capsulitis or something like that, according to the ultrasound).
Not to mention the pain in my shins, in short, I get injured easily.
Basically, I know the movements and the positions to use well, I also know several combos, and I’m even pretty good at bag kicks. I can alternate easily, deliver quick and powerful blows, reposition myself…
But I’m still very bad.
I wonder if having almost no NEAT doesn’t affect my level?
Regarding the nervous system and things like that?
Thank you for reading
