If you notice, the Balls are not fully filled. That is important, it adds to the instability of the movement, great for the Corr, and Shoulders.

Different people will tell you different things. I like doing them all heavy with chains.

Cheers mate spot on. I'm looking twice a week at adding some weights to get my strength up. Cardio is coming along really well, and I've neglected strength.

Thanks again.

Add some power cleans too we start with these after warm do 5 reps then long jumps 3 sets then bench press and bent over rows again max 5 reps and 3 sets

Olympic lifts.

Make sure to lift explosively if you decide to lift weights.

Punching power is not about exercises.
Its about good coaching.
Practice and technique.

At a glance you are right, on a second glance you are not.

Its about Training the Bodys CNS to adapt and perform movement in Balance, which Takes the performing of Exercise. Yes, Coaching, Practice and Technique is important. But you can achieve the Skills, by things that you would not associate, with Boxing as such. Multi joint Exercises, Proprioceptive routines. Power and Skills come from correct Posture, Balance. Heres something with the proper ideas, and a lot of Stretching, makes the Body work as it should. [ame]***********.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tzr_2xUEZ0&feature=g-user-u[/ame]

That's true that the body needs to balanced and working correctly biomechanically but then you also need to increase the stiffness and strength of the muscle-tendon units to improve power. Stretching makes you weaker, your tendons are like a rubber band and stretching just produces more slack resulting in less power when they snap back. You need to stretch sometimes obviously, but no more than you do strengthening exercises. Active range of motion is different than passive range of motion (which is what you're typically doing when you stretch, not helpful for performance) and most muscle tears occur at only 20% greater than resting muscle length.
The best exercise for power is undoubtedly one of the many plyometric exercises you can do, plyometrics increase your rate of force production which is what you want as a boxer more so than max strength. Plyometrics are explosive and you can mimic a punch in boxing using plyometric exercises.

Dealt With, I have found over the years Dynamic Stretching is the way to go. Okay I wont put them up on here, believe me I have had some very good Teachers, and hopefully they have evolved my thinking. Stretching is important to repair the damage the Eyes do. Without it Balance is lost, injuries occur it Happens. I work with lots of influential people in Sports Science, I have to admit 15 years ago they were scratching there Heads. Now they are taking it on Board, thats why 2 major Sports university's are doing major studies at the moment. Touch wood never had a failure yet. Tendons got some lovely stuff thats been developed at this time.

Just keep it simple mate. Just do plyometric exercises. He's an Amateur is he not?
