Weight Lifting for boxing

I'm just saying that, people say "oh weights make you slow", tell that to the worlds fastest man.

 

As long as fast twitch muscle fibres are involved it can!!!

 

depends on the exercises you do with it, but yes more then strong enough to punch.

 

You see when people begin something they usually start at the starting line. You are far behind the starting line due to your misconceptions. There is plenty of information out there, look for yourself and don't give out advice until you have learned a thing or two. It just makes you look foolish mate.

 

Anyone is strong enough to do the motions of a punch but if your strength training involves lifting 2lbs your punches will most likely be awful.

 

First thing for you to understand is some basic muscle physiology, lifting an orange isn't going to stress your muscles, it's not going to recruit many muscle fibres and these fast twitch muscles you enjoy talking about are not going to be recruited, hence it's not going to do a damn thing for your strength.

 

the starting line was long ago for exercising about 4 years ago for mma and about 2 years ago for boxing.

your avoidance to answer tells me you dont know.

 

and if punching was a push and not an impact youd have a point.

as well if the energy transferred in a punch had anything to do with acceleration as opposed to elasticity, velocity and mass youd also have a point.

 

I'm a sports science student and an accredited olympic weightlifting coach so I understand a little bit. I don't know it all but it's pretty safe to say I know a little more than you. I find it hard to believe that you've trained for these sports when you don't have any idea about the fundamentals of strength training.

 

So you've done MMA for 4 years and boxing for 2? I find it hilarious when guys like you come to boards stating absolute bull**** that their friends or coach has told them likes its gospel. Some of us here actually work in the fitness industry and have done for many years. You have no clue.

 

atsch Jesus christ man, talking to you can only make me dumber, I'm out.

 

first off strength is a matter of muscle memory in combination with how many muscle fibers are activated at the same time well theres alot to it but that has alot to do with it. by doing the same thing over and over and over again regardless of the weight you are still improving the neuro pathways to the muscle in turn increasing the amount of muscle fibers that are being activated.

by lifting heavy weights you do stress the muscle and you do cause the muscle to use more fibers you also promote fast twitch fibers over slow twitch and this is why everyone thinks lifting heavy weights is better.

so now what id really like to know is why fast twitch fibers are better then slow twitch fibers?

and if any one here that lifts heavy weights actually has a snap in their punch?

 

Fast twitch muscle fibres!!! Fast twitch muscle fibres!!! FAST TWITCH MUSCLE FIBRES!!!!!!!! :rofl

 

It's ok, you don't have to get all scientific to try and seem smart. The people on this board come to their own conclusions on what makes sense and what can be proved. If they want to ignore us and believe the bull**** you're spouting then that's up to them. :good

 

sounds great....

im just hear to voice my opinion you guys are the ones that want to argue about it.
