Body Building and Conditioning Training Routine For a Boxer...

So he's not actually a good boxing coach... He's just someone interested in boxing who knows nothing about physiological adaptions to exercise?

What makes him a good trainer? What can he do that a bad trainer can't?

 

The first sticky in the forum is strength and conditioning take a look....

 

stay cleear of deadlifts and squats or most compound lifts for that matteras they tend to impeed athlectic performance.
focus on the mirror muscles,

your workout should look something like this:

monday: biceps


wensday:biceps

thursday:biceps


friday:TGI fridays

 

thats the routine most of my mates follow, and then wonder why they dont have a 6 pack.atsch

 

Sorry mate he sounds like someone i would avoid if i wanted to learn how to box. If hes a very good boxing coach he would know this stuff already, if not then he should still be learning under someone else more experienced not opening his own gym! Can you see where were coming from? He only "knows" one aspect of the sport??

 

OK fair enough , good luck to you :good

 

Yep good luck, tell him to get to college and not just scour boxing forums for advice. Pick up a part time degree or proper fitness qualification like I have. Then you will make some sense of the information presented to you and also sift through the bull ****.

Your other option- learning off someone more exp is gone it seems. Where is your gym?

 

looking soft means he still has a high bf%

most people will look relatively muscular with a lower bf

if the guys been training for a while, he will have a decent physique under the fat he just needs to strip it down.

strip it down by maintaining a calorific defect and doing cardio.

be careful to get sufficient protein in his diet and make sure he doesn't loose the muscle

if, once he's stripped the fat off, hes still too small then have him do said weights excercise. stronglifts 5x5 is one suggested for beginners and its a good program which teaches correct form in the main compound exercises.

 

If you want to get bigger, I'd recommend eating more protein.

 

x2. He can take courses during the day and train at night/afternoon.

 

5x5 is not a program for beginner weight lifters. Starting at 20 reps a set and working the reps down by 2 each 2 weeks would be better so he can learn proper technique and it gives his body time to "get ready". Besides his #s in the first while will skyrocket while his body learns how to move and recruit his muscle fibers so if you started with 5x5 youd have to retest every week over and over again.

 

5x5 is based on Starting Strength, it's a beginners program.
You learn good technique using light weight (starting with just the bar) and build up slowly. Never heard of anyone starting at 20 reps and working their way down. Pointless.
Also, why would you have to retest each week if every time you do each exercise your aim is to increase weight?
