    nwil what i dont get is how you get such noticable results, i mean you strength train and you feel slow, you buy a heavier heavy bag, and your power increases, how do you measure it?

    I cant speak for everyone but:

    Using myself as an example when I was heavier, of course my punches was harder this was mainly due to me having more bodyweight behind the punches

    When I became lighter of course the punches seemed to be less harder, which I attribute to me having less body weight?

    what you need to keep in mind is that one does not have to be a power puncher or heavy hitter to be effective and stun or Ko the opponent at all.

    the well deliverance of the punch upon the target does the job.
    I see many youngsters asking and trying to learn hoe to add power to their punch, the thing is we all possess that ability already , for some it is easy to tap into that recourse naturally, and some have to learn, and then there are some that will never

    and one more thing it does not totally depend upon you hitting the target/opponent with the perfect shot to drop or stop him, the opponent must allow this to a certain point, via lack of defense, not seeing the shot coming, body in a bad position to accept the shot, etc etc

    Relentless, it's not the west side for skinny *******s program, it's the WESTSIDE BARBELL program, Joe DeFranco made a popular version of the westside barbell system.

    My friend.. 7 to 8 percent isn't that ripped. This is 3 or 4ish, and completely water drained. 8 isn't that low, and for a bodybuilder during competition, it would be considered very fat.

    Iv heard this too and the only reason iv stayed away from weights is that i dont know really what to do with them that would be most effective. Do you or anyone else know sites with information on the exercises ,weight and reps that do not slow you down. Basically i want to aim to be of boxing speed and strength even if i never end up boxing competitivley.:good thnx Iv got a loada weights in the shed that i never use. And i admit that i only use body weight but im not stuck in my ways if something works ill use it !

    my weight training was not incorrect - I became involved in weight training over 3 years ago, so I am very learned on that field. And I also know the effects of different weight lifting methods on one's boxing game. I performed compound and olympic lifts.....yes they made me more "powerful" in the sense of brute power, but eventually, my firing time was a little slower, and honestly, I would have kept doing it if they had helped my power, but they didn't. I started lifting two summers ago and did it until the next school year....13 months or so.....with small breaks.

    I wouldn't say I get 'noticeable results'.....it doesn't come right away. It took a couple months of lifting three times a week to really see the effects. As for the heavy bag, I could feel more power in my punches...I mean, it was a heavier bag, so it was bound to increase punching power to some degree. now it's kind of leveled out. I think anyone who goes from some standing punching bag to a 100 lb. heavy bag would experience similar results.

    i dont see the point of strength training 3 times a week for a boxer, it is supposed to be a SUPPLEMENT,

    i do strength training once a week, i often dont use weights for strength training anymore because my equipments are in the garden and i dont want to train outside in the cold.

    Loblow what do you think about complex training?
