    Training Integration

    Hey all,
    First post around here, so just sayin' whats up to everyone. I'll jump right into my post.
    Stats:
    I'm 22 years old, 5'9" (with decent reach) and 136 lbs. I know I'm light. I'm decently strong and really quick (from a martial arts background). However, I am completely and totally untrained in boxing, so I dont know what my strengths and weaknesses are. I'm not going to assume anything about myself because I'm just starting to get into it.
    Here is a link to my typical training day:

    It should be mentioned, however, that I don't eat that strict now because I'm not in the process of trying to bulk. My question is, since I lift weights 5 days a week, does anyone have a good split suggestion to work in some endurance exercises? If I was put in a ring right now, other than getting my @$$ kicked, I'd gas out really fast. Suggestions, tips, and exercises are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks all!

    hm well, everyone has differnt views on working out while boxing, but to tell u the truth if i were u id stop and work on boxing more, run alot, jump rope, do alot of pushups/situps everything to get ur endurance up. well if u really wanna workout, i wouldnt try to lift alot of heavy weights, even though i know thats ur goal since ur on a bulk, but if i were u and still wanted to workout, id lift lighter weights but do it alot of reps, this will get ur muscle endurance up alot. just my opinion

      A suggestion: Tell us what your training goal is if you want help. There's no way anyone can give you the right information, if we don't no what you want to achieve.

      That workout scheme is RUBBISH unless you want to be a bodybuilder. No athlete should train like that. If you're not trying to bulk, why train like that? IF you want to box, lifting weights 5 times a week is beyond ******.

        To be quite honest, that started out as a bodybuilding workout. Since then I've just fallen into it as a habit. My primary goal is to build chest, shoulder, and lower body power and gain a lot of endurance. I'm just looking for the best way to do it. Example:
        M / W / F - Chest / Legs
        T / R - Shoulders and a "boxing" workout.

        If thats a good split, thats great, but I need to know what workouts are best for endurance training, and a set/rep range for each. Also, with a skinny build and high metabolism, how much running/jump rope should I do, and for what periods?
        (Sorry for all the newbish questions, I just wouldn't want to get involved with boxing and then go noewhere because I dont know what I'm doing.)
        My overall goal is this - I want to box, and I'd like to stay around the lightweight class (135, right?).

          well like u said i dont think that u beeing skinny should vary how long u should jump rope/run for. you should do it till u cant feel ur legs. being skinny and having endurance are two whollle different things. and if ur gonna workout do light weight more reps like i said earlier for endurance since u can also eat alot and stay skinny, u should keep doing that so u might gain a few pounds of muscle, but if u run ull higher ur endurace

            wrong. If you just start boxing you will need to start amateur where there is no 135 weight class that exists. It is either 132 or 139. You also seem more into your body than you are boxing.

              You gotta decide what you want to do, lift weights or box. Either way, you need to alternate days to accomplish anything in boxing.

                2 days of lifting weights is more than enough for a boxer. And those should be full body workouts: Squat, deadlift, benchpress (or other pressing excersise) and rows (or other pulling motion. Ex. pullups).

                You shouldn't be so eager to put on weight, if you want to box. 5'9" is a good height for 132 or 141. 132 would be better for you though, once you're in top condition.

                  It should be noted that I WANT to box more than I want to lift weights. I just currently have a weightlifting background, and I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the boxing terminology, training, etc. Thats what I'm trying to figure out. Whats the best way to go FROM weightlifting TO boxing. If I just completely switch one to another, I'll probably end up losing strenght and doing something wrong. If 2 days is enough for a boxer, what is good stuff to do on other days? I don't mean "jump rope" and "shadowbox". I mean - jump rope for 30 minutes, rest for 10, run a mile, then work on mechanics for an hour, etc. Just looking for some structure.

                    so take your ass to a gym and ask your trainer.
