Weight Program..

[fraidycat]

The number after the exercise represents the number of reps and sets. So 10,8,8,6 would be 4 sets with Set one having 10 reps, Set two 8 reps, and so on

In those terms, my routine looks like this:

Day 1:
Squats 6,6,6,6,6,6

Day 2:
Boxing

Day 3:
Power Cleans 6,6,6,6,6,6

Day 4:
Boxing

Day 5:
Deadlifts 6,6,6,6,6,6

Day 6:
Boxing

Day 7:
Rest

You do not need to do 4 different types of curls, 3 types of bench press, and 2 types of lat exercises. Seriously. At least, not for boxing. If you want to bodybuild, great; if you want to train for boxing, get your butt in the boxing gym as much as possible and use compound lifts to augment your training.

I have a question. For my conditioning, I work on cardiovascular and calisthenics training, but I do not have ANY weight resistance training in my routine. Do I need weight resistance training to become a better boxer?

Hey fraidycat,

I do a lot of weights right now because I'm not boxing. I'll only go back to a boxing gym when spring comes and I'm in better shape. Alreasy lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks of jogging, bike, weights.

Now at 5'10, 175 pounds.

I have another question, I still spar with a friend every once in a while, but everytime he hurts his thumb. His wraps are great and everything. Do you know anythign that could help him with that?

Thanks

hmm.. I don't really lift any weights at all...

I've been watching all the talk and now it makes me wanna add something to the training.... Squats,Deadlifts,.. and what are cleans?

I'm gonna tell my trainer I wanna start lifting today.

I'd say try getting to 165 first off *(like myself)* I'm 5'11... Unless you think you'd lose too much muscle...

And about the partner hurting his thumb... He's throwing his punches wrong... Thats why he's getting hurt when he spars.

I used to have the same problem.

I know it was for fraidy but I jus read it and wanted to answer.

Thank you Da1catas..

My objective was below 170, but I did not expect to lose weight so quick, I believe I'll be able to go down to 165.

About my friend, might be that. I'll try to notice how he hurts it next time. I believe it's when he hits my elbows but I'm not sure. I'll ask him.
