It depends how many times you fight. Let's say, last time I didn't fight for seven years and I came back and I gave myself three months' time to train. What you're doing is, after a workout, Thai pads, it's a real hard workout, and I do maybe like ten rounds of one minute, and only one minute. And everybody looks at me like I'm crazy. But I always say, build it up gradually. So the week later, I do ten rounds of one and a half minutes. Then I do ten rounds of two minutes. Every week I add thirty seconds to that round until I'm going to be at the five minute mark, and that's gradually, I build it up.
