Mike Tyson Weight Training: the coach reveals

The trainor Jeff Fenech is one of the few boxing professionals who coached Mike Tyson and train him in some of its hard competitions. In 2002, Fenech trained Mike Tyson in Arizona in order to prepare him for the fight with Kevin McBride. The fight was the first bout after about a year since his defeat by Danny Williams in a knock out during the fourth round. The problem then was that Tyson injured his knee after his defeat by knockout and he sustained tears of the meniscus in his left knee which required him to undergo a surgery.

Mike Tyson again is to face a fighter that has absolute height advantage over him. In order to prepare Tyson for the fight, his trainor had to remedy the height advantage of MccBride. To remedy this, he had to keep Tyson physically strong for the competition. Mike Tyson weight training basically is an overall training that caters to the mental and the physical aspect of the player. The training seeks to ensure that the player is mentally confident enough to face and carry out the fight while at the same time ensure that his physical build, his speed and his stamina is developed to make a good and fast win.

§ Walking, Jogging, and Running – This is typically the routine of Tyson as a preparation for his fights. He does a lot of jogging, running and walking early in the morning in order to develop his stamina and his speed.

Incorporated in this exercise are few abdominal exercises to strengthen and build abdominal muscles and some stretching exercises to encourage flexibility.

§ Weight lifting Routine – After an early morning jogging, running and walking, he does some weight lifting routines for a couple of hours to strengthen his muscles in the arms. Thus, you can see the solid build up of muscles in the biceps and triceps of Tyson which is particularly common to most of those who are into weight lifting workouts and competitions.

§ Sparring session – After a half day of exercise, Tyson does sparring with Corey Sanders and some of the locals and boxing enthusiasts in Arizona. This he did for about six months and that is for about six rounds of sparring every single day of Mike Tyson weight training.

§ Rest and Recreation – When you watch Mike Tyson train, you would know that he definitely trains hard and then he rests and takes his break enjoyably.
