no. this is basically just a book on weight lifting. it offers no insight on explosive power training which is what is most benefitial for boxing. you should check out the other book on ringside for boxing strength and conditioning by Dr. Donald Chu. I think its called Explosive Strength and Power Training for Boxers, or something to that effect....

I have a copy of Infinite Intensity but I'm unsure on how to utilize it...to my knowledge Ross has that 50 day workout in there...should you just do that? How do you make variations of the workouts?

Oh wow dude. How??? you serious? **** around with it, simple as that. For example, Im trying to build up more explosive strength and speed (footwork+handspeed) so I try to include high knee dumbell presses and lateral jumps as well as REALLY intense shadowboxing. So a while ago it was something like this (I like minute drills):
30 sec high knee dumbell presses
30 sec lateral jumps (1ft height minimum)
30 sec shadowboxing (with 2 or 3 lb hand weights, focus on quick intense footwork)
I did that twice (3:00) with 30-45 sec rest between rounds for 5 rounds

Basically the idea was to use quick explosive movements to improve maneuverability and lightly resisted punches to improve speed. Actually now that I think of it its more like a never gymless workout but its still good.

Another idea (to improve power) would be to do isometrics then hit a heavybag for a set amount of time.

Ross is the man but I kind of wonder about how frequently he uses the snatch lol. Yes its good to have explosive power in the hips but I think theres better exercises out there like weighted bridges.

Long story short...do what you need. If your slow work on speed. If your weak, work on strength. If you hit hard work on defense, etc. If you dont know what to work on, spar or fight, you'll figure it out then. **** i give awesome advice lol u better give me green K cuz I shouldnt be doin this for nothin. LOL

To be honest I find shadow boxing while holding handweights counterproductive as your giving poor muscle memory for punching, ie your tense in order to hold the weights. Isometrics/plyo combinations combined with an adequate strength routine is the source of power and speed.

I love the snatch as well, i've noticed large strength gains since incorporating it, what are weighted bridges? Like the plank/bridge with a weighted vest on?

The handweights shouldn't be used for shadowboxing per se (which I agree is counterproductive), rather for limited punching drills, where emphasis is on form and explosiveness.
