Here’s what they asked him:\n\nFightCamp: How has the transition from amateur to professional been?\nTiger: One of the biggest things Tiger mentions is that there is a big step up from the amateurs to the pros. As an amateur, he was fortunate enough to be able to travel across the globe, fighting boxers from different countries, all with their own unique boxing styles. With his amateur experience, he was able to make the jump and had to focus on some minor adjustments now that he was gonna be fighting professionally.\n\nFightCamp: How do you maintain your hand speed?\nTiger: As he likes to put it, Tiger has always had speed growing up as a kid and was fortunate enough to be naturally inclined to have fast hands. He does recommend a couple of drills to help improve your hand speed: speed bag and double end bad work on a consistent basis.\n\nFightCamp: How is professional training different from amateur training?\nTiger: One of the things that Tiger has started to put more attention towards, now that he is a professional boxer, is the smaller details, like sitting down on his punches and being more fluid - this helps to maximize the full power of a punch. He also is spending more time working on his defensive skills to optimize his reflexes and when in the clinch, working on head movement and keeping his guard up.\n\nFightCamp: How does strength/conditioning play a role in your training?\nTiger: Some boxers prefer to lift heavy, Tiger is the opposite when it comes to his training, opting for a lower weight typically with more reps. Conditioning-wise, Tiger recommends doing sprints, jump rope, speed bag, and bag drills, and to always get your miles in. Your diet has to be on point too.\n\nFightCamp interview with Tiger Johnson\nFightCamp: What does your diet and nutrition look like?\nTiger: Typical meals are\n\nBreakfast: Egg whites, turkey sausage, some fruit, two slices of toast, and some water.\n\nPre-fight dinner: Pasta, fruit, and water.\n\nFight Night Breakfast: Waffles, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, fruit, and water.\n\nWater: One gallon a day\n\nFightCamp: Describe your different fight camp stages\nTiger: At the beginning of a fight camp, usually most boxers are a little overweight, so it's getting back into a groove, and starting your diet to help get your weight back down. Towards the middle of fight camp, you should be at least halfway towards your fight weight, you should be in shape and your sparring should be going well. Towards the end of camp, you should be ready for fight night and training is slowed down - all the hard work has already been put in.\n\nFightCamp: How do you mentally prepare for a fight?\nTiger: For Tiger, he likes to try and visualize the fight and picture what's happening in the ring and make sure that he executes the game plan.\n\nFightCamp: How does pro training compare to Olympic training?\nTiger: According to Tiger, there is a bit more traveling with pro training and it is more fun. At both levels, you are constantly around the best of the best and at the professional level, you get to be around world champions. “I get to be around greatness and people chasing the same goals as me; it’s definitely motivating.”","Curious boxing minds want to know",{"_uid":676,"answer":677,"question":678,"component":670},"55a2fcbf-1d7a-4248-8481-b60c30aa10df","Everybody loves getting to look into professional athletes' everyday lives.

You will benefit from increased nutrients and the removal of byproducts from your muscles due to all your hard workouts. You are more susceptible to injuries if you do not stretch post-workout. Incorporating a stretching routine will help you maintain or increase your flexibility, which in turn counteracts the activities of daily living for most of the population. Sedentary lifestyles cause our muscles to shorten over time, and we feel tighter, making it harder to enjoy a life without constraints. When our lifestyle of inactivity becomes the dominating factor, it creates muscular imbalances that will not allow us to function correctly. Not skipping our post-workout stretching routine will help eliminate low back pain because of shortened muscles like our quads, hip flexors, and chest.

Shoulder Flossing\n-Start in a standing position.\n-Hold a towel, resistance band, etc., in front of your thighs with your hands about a foot wider than hip-width apart.\n-Maintain an active core as you bring your arms up and over your head without bending at the elbows or flaring out your rib cage.\n-Do not force this movement. If this is tricky, bend one elbow and go one arm at a time.\n\n2. World's Greatest Stretch \n-From high active plank, push in to bear squat, and lunge left foot forward. \n-Next to the left hand, raise the left hand to the sky. \n-As you breathe, maintain a straight right rear leg, pushing your heel towards the floor. \n-Lower the left hand and step your left foot back. REPEAT on the right and alternate for 60-90 seconds.\n\n3. Kneeling Quad/Hip Flexor Stretch\n-Step your right foot forward from a kneeling position far enough to lower your hips towards the floor. \n-Reach back (if possible) with your right hand, grab onto your left ankle, and maintain an upright posture. \n-Hold this position and breath slowly for 30-60 seconds, then switch legs.\n\n4. Cat/Cow\n-Start on all fours, neutral spine. \n-Inhale and let your belly fall as you lift your chin and your eyes look up. Draw your shoulders away from your ears. \n-Upon exhaling, press through your hands, round the spine, and tuck the tailbone.\n\n5. Thread the Needle\n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under your chest behind the opposite arm. \n-Bring your right shoulder to the floor, then return to the start. Pair the movement with your breath, and take 3-4 slow breaths before switching arms.\n\n6. Thread the Needle With a Twist \n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under the chest behind the opposite arm. Bring your right shoulder to the floor. \n-While the shoulder is down toward the floor, let your top arm open to a 'T' position, straight to the ceiling. \n-Return to the starting position.\n\n7.

You will benefit from increased nutrients and the removal of byproducts from your muscles due to all your hard workouts. You are more susceptible to injuries if you do not stretch post-workout. Incorporating a stretching routine will help you maintain or increase your flexibility, which in turn counteracts the activities of daily living for most of the population. Sedentary lifestyles cause our muscles to shorten over time, and we feel tighter, making it harder to enjoy a life without constraints. When our lifestyle of inactivity becomes the dominating factor, it creates muscular imbalances that will not allow us to function correctly. Not skipping our post-workout stretching routine will help eliminate low back pain because of shortened muscles like our quads, hip flexors, and chest. These muscles throw our spine out of alignment and significantly change our movement patterns and overall performance. ",{"type":724,"attrs":2102,"content":2103},{"level":726},[2104],{"text":2105,"type":730},"7 Stretches to Help You Recover Post-Workout",{"type":724,"attrs":2107,"content":2108},{"level":800},[2109],{"text":2110,"type":730},"Shoulder Flossing",{"type":2112,"attrs":2113,"content":2116},"ordered_list",{"order":2114},{"order":2115},1,[2117,2123,2129,2135],{"type":894,"content":2118},[2119],{"type":732,"content":2120},[2121],{"text":2122,"type":730},"Start in a standing position.",{"type":894,"content":2124},[2125],{"type":732,"content":2126},[2127],{"text":2128,"type":730},"Hold a towel, resistance band, etc., in front of your thighs with your hands about a foot wider than hip-width apart.",{"type":894,"content":2130},[2131],{"type":732,"content":2132},[2133],{"text":2134,"type":730},"Maintain an active core as you bring your arms up and over your head without bending at the elbows or flaring out your rib cage.",{"type":894,"content":2136},[2137],{"type":732,"content":2138},[2139],{"text":2140,"type":730},"Do not force this movement.
