Bradley is build like a damn tank

I really love that you actually think I was aruging with a professional athlete. . . poor, POOR chubby lil fella!


I have to express how funny these PIGGLY SUMBITCHES are who think they know what they're talking about. . .

 

You're applying bodybuilding training principles to what should be a strength training program to complement an athlete's sports specific program. Honestly kid just educate yourself a bit more and talk a bit less. You're not in a position to give an average joe on the street exercise advice at this stage, let alone an experienced athlete.

 

You just need to understand, and this is very important - that you - will never ever, ever in your entire life and your fathers combined- would possibly ever be able to give a guy like tim bradley a workout plan.

Please understand this and keep quiet.

 

I was just informing you that you were in fact talking to a professional athlete. I was trying to help you out !

 

Bradley looks very nervous. Pacquiao exudes confidence, more so than usual. IMHO I think this fight ends early.

Bradley's muscles are too tight, he won't be getting their full potential in speed and power. That explains his low KO record. Whereas Pacquiao gets full extension from his relaxed muscles to when he uses them. Relaxed muscles recover quicker. This is the secret of his speed, power and endurance.

 

Explain to me why you wouldn't recommend heavy weights, low reps for a boxer?
Basically that is a precursor to making the body as powerful as possible before moving onto explosive plyometrics. Basically you're telling me that you wouldn't want to maximise power without gaining much size through hypertrophŷ. I'd say thats EXACTLY the type of training any explosive sport requires

 

I think it's pretty good, it covers all the compound lifts so it's hard to go wrong with it. An individualised plan is always going to be better because you'll have strengths and weaknesses and some things may require more work. Do those exercises with good form and it's as good a generalised workout you'll find for a beginner. It's the basic lifts, nothing revolutionary but it's effective and somebody inexperienced would probably get huge gains in strength and size using that program with good nutrition. I Don't know about Rippetoe's nutritional advice or credentials though..

 

He said in another thread that he was benching 200 as a beginner when he was 16 and weighed 135 pounds :rofl

 

That's it, build max strength then turn it into sports specific power. I wouldn't recommend anything other than heavy weight - low reps for a weight division athlete during a weight training phase of the program.

 

You know someone's got nothing to say when :rofl:rofl:rofl is the best they can come up with

 

Agree 100%

 

You obviously haven't boxed under a trainer before.

 

..lol..

I hate when weightlifters and muscle 'achievers' (aesthetically minded people) try to talk about boxing or sports in general.

 

I disagree on the low bar squat, it works the hammys more than a high bar squat but if you're including deadlifts/RDL in your program you'll be getting that work on your hammies anyway. The squat should be more about your quads IMO and the high bar squat is closer to the receiving position in the olympic lifts so if you want to move onto olympic lifts I'd focus on high bar squats.
Really it doesn't make a lot of difference, as long as you're not too quad dominant or hammy dominant you'll be fine.

Wouldn't want to be lactose intolerant with that recommendation
Good luck with it man.
