"About 90% of boxers in this country in my opinion, lead unprofessional lifestyles."

Of course you can get injured using machines, silly. Machines = Restriction. Do a seated shoulder press with dumbells and then do it on a machine and tell me which is the "natural curve of motion"!

What? Are you for real? Lets say that you do 3 sets of 10 reps, and on set 2 at the 7th rep you start to feel the pain... That won't get any easier on set 3 will it?

10 reps using ANY weight is hypertrophy range, end of. Hypertrophy is what BODYBUILDERS go for.

 

Yet a bigger muscle is a stronger muscle, and a stronger muscle is a faster muscle

 

Tell that to the likes of Jay Cutler!

 

t is clear that a long slow distance (LSD) running is not a sport specific form of conditioning for boxing. A fighter must pattern his training after the physical demands of the sport. Why spend 100% of your time running in an aerobic manner when the sport is primarily anaerobic in nature? There is no answer to this question.

What's wrong with Gavin eating Nando's?

Grilled Chicken, Rice and Vegtables? Seems ok to me.

 

A genetic freak using life-threatening ammounts of AAS... so much like a pro boxer..

 

I remember guys like MArgarito and Paul Williams, are known for the amount of running they do, and are known to throw over 100 punches a round.

 

Not sure thats true mate. 800m and 1500m are anerobic events but most top runners do massive amounts of slow aerobic runs.

 

What does it matter the sport with a theory likes yours?

 

Yeah I was right in my head but 10 years back, at that stage ofcourse Ali had just got back into boxing, I mean 80-82.

 

That's a very big simplification. I'm not against weight training, when used properly. However, while a bigger muscle may generate more force, the acceleration of the fist is some function of the force divided by the body mass that you must move during the range of motion. This force/mass issue also affects the deceleration required, when a punch misses, to return the fist to a defensive position. It is not clear at what point exactly that increased muscle mass is detrimental. At lower weights it's obviously a much lower threshold, at HW it's not so easy to determine.

I think there is enough empirical evidence to be fairly certain that there must be a physical limit to any increased speed resulting from appropriate weight training.

More importantly, the applicability of that speed to boxing is crucial, if you adversely affect your stamina, flexibility etc by gaining weight then you start to greatly increase the risk of it having a detrimental affect on your overall performance. I would never recommend that someone like Khan purposefully bulk up in misguided belief that it would improve his speed. He'd just end up in a higher weight class, and would get obliterated.

 

A bigger muscle does not always generate more force.

I said "may generate more force". Notice the italics. Don't call me a ****** when you fail to read my post correctly.
