Entry #404

Weigh-in: 226 lbs.

On the stand-up bag, it would be better to adopt a compact stance, with the head kept low. The difficulty in avoiding the recoil is made harder that way. Placing it next to the hanging bag for bounce is proving very effective in adding a degree of unpredictability to how it will return.

> Poundage was low to compensate for the foreign movement. It was little challenge, but this is a light day.

225 lbs.

I concluded with rounds on the gym's heavy bag, bare-knuckle. My wrist folded in one instance (luckily, on a jab and not anything heavy). I rely too much on the assistance of wraps. This is something that should be drilled further.
