    Roy's left bicep is larger than his right bicep. He knows that and always favors it when he poses:

    Here is before the trinidad fight, you can clearly see the size difference:

    Roy may have injured his bicep before the trinidad fight, which further explains how huge his left bicep looked in that fight. You can clearly see that his left bicep looks red and swollen/bruised in this weigh-in pic.

    He don't go near them. But his body resistance excersises are insane. He does 1200 repetitions in every work out for his abdominals, supposedly. Serious stuff.



    WARM UP

    Touching toes and holding.
    Side-to-sides
    Torso twists
    Push ups
    Full body stretch
    Bouncing on toes. Moving.

    Note that he doesn't stretch until he's warm?



    SHADOWBOXING

    4X4 minute rounds, with 30 second breaks



    HEAVY BAG

    4X4 minute rounds, with 30 second breaks



    SPEED BAG

    16 minutes (This is loads. Guys like Ali would do less than 10)



    FLOOR TO CEILING BAG

    16 mintutes



    SKIP ROPE

    25 minutes



    ABS

    4X100 sit ups
    4X100 led-raises
    4x100 crunches

    He takes 30 seconds betwen each of these sets. He warms down with basketball and trains 5 or 6 days a week.

    I assume this is independant of roadwork.

    His biceps are not 'big' but compared to his triceps and every other muscle they look huge. Plus he has really good shape to them; good peak.

    Roy has a similar arm as did Sugar Ray Leonard. All biceps with very little triceps mass. Leonard too, had those tennis ball type biceps. That comes from allot of high rep training, aerobic type training and doesn't make for a very strong arm. His biceps are not very big at all, they just look huge due to the definition, biceps peak and shape. But in reality they are no more than 15 inches. The size of an average middleweights. When James Toney was fighting at light heavyweight, his arms were actually much bigger, close to 16 inches. However, because of the shape of his arm and the fact that the mass was spread out between the biceps and triceps, they didn't look as big compared to Jones.

    The guy worked harder than most fighters. That's a fact. So he's flooding his body with all the hormones you need for muscle growth. Combine it with good genes and the right lifestyle, I could see it leading to extreme cuttage.

    Roy Jones Sr. was a fighter. And he wasn't very good. I never seen Roy Jones Sr fight. But you certainly would never expect his son to be an all time great fighter, by looking at his record.

    It's called ripped fuel. Or roids. Whichever you prefer. Tends to make muscles rupture.

    I think it might be that Roy has a torn long head of his bicep, in both arms.

    This is a very common injury among pro athletes that heals up quickly and limits use of the arms by less than 2%.
