Thats why, Yes you should Have strong Ligaments, Tendons should be strong and have elasticity, ask anybody who has worked with C/P, having said that, that is an extreme point. Hip and below Knee, Ankle, Have a 6/3/6 of side movement, Tight Tendons, restricts that and can cause serious injury to ligaments. To end Body works all or Nothing, Stretching Helps with Muscle Balance, to Transport the Head, its Job.

Tight tendons are strong tendons. Weights strengthen connective tissue like nothing else. Stretching is fine in moderation but I've never seen any evidence to suggest that it prevents injury and I've seen plenty of review articles on the subject.

I don't understand your objection to weight training? From what you've said it sounds like you think conditioning work should be skill work at the same time?
Every athlete in the world who's worth anything strength trains. How can you overload the big, strong muscles of the legs without weights?
Stabilising a heavy weight is great proprioceptive and injury prevention work at the same time.

Tight Tendons Restrict movement, what causes injurys are contractions, without P rehab, for activity and preparation.

Theres loads of ways of doing, Strength work to build muscle, for different forms of bio mechanical exercise, also being intricate to do, and Fun. making the Grey matter work.

There was a thread on here recently, on the IT band, the TFL. It orchestrates the Posterior Chain, it doesnt want to be Tight. Tight Tendons of the Elbows restricts making a proper Fist, Achilles etc.

Out of interest, anybody here of the 15 degree theory.

Oddly, pretty much every top class professional boxer disagrees.

[TVLPC]

Let's try to explain our position in regards to why something would or would not work and what the necessary corrections are instead of it won't work or that's not good and leaving it at that. That would be a constructive approach.

If you feel that an appropriate weight training program should be used for a boxer, what is it (ie.complex/maxex training, bands and weights, etc) and why? Research is great, but don't just link T-Nation workouts or other websites. Tell your own thoughts and the rationale behind it.

Nothing wrong with disagreeing, but just explain the why.

I didn't expect this kind of response. We all have our opinions and our bodies work differently. I was always the kid who wasn't on par with my peers in the weight room regardless of my work, but could always hit pretty hard for some reason, both football and boxing. Thanks everyone for the input.

Plyometrics > Weight training

EDIT: The statement above applies to competitive boxers. Not to people who take it as a hobby.

Maybe all the old school trainers are right about no weights

Got you my problem seems to be the opposite tbh .I used to hate when I hadn't done chin ups for a while in the gym I used to lose power also deltoid presses .I think i'd benefit alot more from a good strength session .Most of our power comes from your legs mate .The workout you said you usually do in post 5 mate i'd get some squats and lunges in there
