    Sorry if this is not what you want to hear but the best adviceI can give is to feel it out and adjust. There is no way to put a perfect workout on paper. You do have a good variety. Start from there and then add or trim.

    I do not like the order in which they are listed. For instance, you finish with something isolated like rear delts, don't start with them.

    Also, machines like curl machines, Smith (for chest), are a waste. Dumbbells are spook much more productive, as well as being safer for a boxer because you're building stabilizer muscles. If you use machines, try to keep it legs and back, real power muscles. Arms and chest should be free weights.

      I do rear delts first because I have issues with my shoulders and my rear deltoids are really lagging. I find it really good way to warm up the shoulder joint.
      I find smith machine I can isolate the chest muscle, but I do dumbbells first to work my stabilising muscles.
      I do barbell squats for legs build the stabilising muscles and also it feels good to have a bar on your traps lifting heavy weights lol.
      I have issues with my elbows so free weights for triceps is a no no, I might change up for biceps and do dumbbells instead of cables, it depends on how my elbows are on that day

          I think it could be done, I train with intensity, I have a good diet plan, I rest plenty, I get around 8-10 hours sleep easy.

            Given the fact that you cannot do a regular pull up unassisted, I assume you are a beginner.

            This is too much volume. And i donīt mean because you box as well, but just in general. Volume isnt a goal all by itself. You do not grow because of volume alone, you grow because of progressive overload. Use some core lifts like bench presses, squats, rows, deadlifts and overhead presses and focus on adding weight to the bar on these exercises. You could try a program like stronglifts:

              First: sounds like too much volume. Are you in a training camp right now? Do you want to be a Navy Seal? If not, slow it down. You will only hurt yourself down the road.

              Your legs are lagging, concentrate on them first. Big muscle group, rather easy to train and will support the development of other muscle groups.

              Using machines won't help you much with elbow problems. Especially for chest training you will support unnatural behaviour with that. Curl machines are also bad, don't really know why these exist. Warming up with elastic bands can really help with these problems.

                Your workout looks like you're setting yourself up to failure and the fact that you're asking suggests you are not to sure what you're doing.

                Don't ask for advice and then down play it.
                I was not, I was only asking for advice. I am not a expert at boxing, thats why I asked.

                    Iv been trying to increase my forearm strength, I think elbow pain is related to weakness in the forearms not being able to withstand the threshold.
                    I am going to lower the volume down, I agree it looks like to much volume,I have not being doing this much volume, I was looking for advice before I begin this much volume.
