The Deck of Cards Boxing Workout
This is the magician’s way to steal Floyd Mayweathers cardio…
This workout is simple, brutal, and honest.
No machines.
No gimmicks.
Just punches, breath, and pressure. You don’t pace yourself — the cards do.
Every flip is fate.
Every hand is a round with the Matrix.
This is how fighters build real gas tanks.
The Combo System (Keep It Clean)
Everything is built off four core combinations:
1 = Jab
2 = Jab–Cross
3 = Jab–Cross–Left Hook
4 = Jab–Cross–Left Hook–Cross
Southpaws: same structure, just swap the left hook for a right hook. Everything else stays identical.
No fancy shit.
These are bread-and-butter combos that show up in every real fight.
The Card Rules (This Is Where the Magic Happens)
Shuffle the deck.
Flip one card at a time.
Whatever comes up, you throw the punches immediately.
Ace = 1 (jab)
2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 4
5 = 4 + jab
6 = 4 + 2
7 = 4 + 3
8 = 4 + 4
9 = 4 + 4 + 1
10 = 4 + 4 + 2
Face Cards (J, Q, K) = same as 10
Joker = same as 10
Every card stacks volume.
The higher the card, the deeper you’re forced into fatigue.
Why This Works (The Floyd Reference)
If you go through the deck properly, this workout racks up 300+ punches.
That’s more punches than Floyd Mayweather would throw in an entire 12-round championship fight.
Difference is:
Floyd spreads that output across 36 minutes with elite timing.
You’re compressing it into a short, savage burst.
That’s why this melts your lungs.
The Real Objective
This is not shadowboxing for Instagram.
This is not sloppy flailing.
The goal is speed + structure.
Go through the deck as fast as possible
Maintain clean form
Breathe through the nose when you can
Keep your guard honest
Hands come back every time
If your technique collapses, slow down — but don’t stop.
Why a Deck of Cards?
Because it removes ego.
And it’s simple.
You don’t choose the workload.
You don’t negotiate with fatigue.
You react.
Just like a fight.
Just like life.
One card at a time.
No previews.
No control.
Only response.
Final Thought
This is boxing stripped down to truth:
Repetition.
Volume.
Breath.
Will.
A deck of cards weighs nothing…
Yet it will humble you faster than most gym machines ever could.
Practice like a magician.
Condition like a fighter.
Let chance sharpen you.
