David Haye reveals the secrets of his recovery from the injury, his regret in the past teaching methods and be “smart” in the gym.
Hey last year seriously damaged the Achilles tendon in the defeat by Tony Bellew, then a torn biceps postponed their rematch on the may 5 live at the office sky sports Boxing.
The first two-weight world champion details how he rebuilt his body…
What was the most difficult injury to recover?
My Achilles, definitely. You put your body through this trauma with every step.
Regular exercise and rehabilitation. A lot of isometric holds, a lot of physio and massage. You have to keep emphasizing the harm to get the body to heal.
What exercises helped to restore your Achilles?
I started to do a little restricting and now I’m jumping and jumping. I can do the plyometric stuff. The more you do, the more confidence you will gain.
You need to gain confidence in themselves during this recovery?
Not true. You pass, that in any case in training.
You should avoid certain exercises to prevent another injury?
You can’t be 100% confident in every move you make. For example, with my leg, I would not massive plyometric bounding. My legs could probably handle it, but need it for this fight? No.
There are things that I’ve done in the past, I wouldn’t do now because it’s too dangerous. I focus on exercise safety. I have adapted things in a safer way.
You’re still able to effectively train as 37-year-old with a history of injuries
Train smart, train smart. That’s what I had to do. Some of the crazy workouts that I used, I can’t leave. This may be the cause of some injuries. I had to reconsider.
Has Ismael Salas, your new coach help?
Yes, it is. We have included old-school Cuban drills, especially with his legs, and I feel the benefits. He wasn’t trying to change anything. He tries to clarify the attributes that I have, and to make them the raincoats.
