    bodybuilding to get 'in shape' isn't the same thing as being 'in shape' for boxing.

    One glaring omission - LEGS. Never, never neglect your wheels!

    In saying that, you should work your whole body, you should not overlook any part of your body when training for boxing. Your body is one unit - train it as one.

    So what, am I supposed to lay out a whole training programme? He asked what to train, I gave him advice on what he should train, given what advice was missing from the previous answers.

    nah course not, i'm just saying it was good advice but you could have included a what exercises to do. not so much for legs, but what you ment about about working the whole body, core exercises, or exercises with force different muscle groups to share the load. i aint trying to single you out or pull you up for what you've posted, i'm just saying.
