I've always had to train harder than others to get the oxygen to my muscles because of my lung capacity. I have to push myself past the point of being comfortable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.
You have to challenge yourself and your muscles. When you are really regimented, it's the same over and over and you start to get comfortable. Switching up the style of training works your muscles differently.
I'm functioning on a lung and a half, but I have proved that it's possible to challenge yourself.
You go to the gym to make sure you have the stamina to breathe in the corsets.
There's not as much oxygen in that hot gym and I think it's great for conditioning. I believe in a lot of boxing. You can train and work on the speed bag and heavy bag, but when you get in the ring with another fighter, it's a different story. Punches are coming at you, there's physical contact, muscle against muscle.
The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
I always demand intensity in training. That's my style, and I like it.
We have so much lung capacity that we don't even notice a problem until we are in our 40s.
I train as hard as I can every time I train and I do extra training every day and I've done that since I was a young boy.
But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem.
