Anyone find weight training counter productive

Maybe it's because your muscles are well rested?

 

You haven't lost any muscle mass after a week and a half unless there's something seriously wrong with you.

 

This.

And no.

Post up your weight routine.

 

Maybe all the old school trainers are right about no weights :think[/quote]
Maybe they are .

 

Thats not even a weight routine.

 

fail is strong

 

That's neither a strength routine or a weight routine. It's just a bunch of random exercises and reps/sets.

 

atsch Okay...

 

Actually in looking at your workout, maybe it's just too much with everything else you do. Scale it back and see how you perform.

 

What happened just shows that whatever conditioning routine you were doing may have actually been detrimental to your boxing performance.

Maybe you need to work on your grasp of logic on top of everything else, since what you described is contrary to your initial assertions.

 

oh, btw, did you roll a 20-sided dice to come up with those rep and set schemes?

Just no rhyme or reason to them at all.

Why not just intensify your heavy bag drills instead of doing that nonsensical routine of yours?

 

I don't think weights are a waste of energy per se, but agree a boxer's time would be far better spent putting energy into boxing first then conditioning before weights. At the boxing gym I go to, the amateurs box 5 days a week plus aerobic conditioning separately. Weights would be tough to implement given that schedule and lead undoubtedly to over-training, even with teenagers.

Low to mid level intensity plyometrics could be incorporated into conditioning work sparingly and be advantageous to a boxer.

On a side thought, I've never competed in a combat sport, be it boxing or grappling tourneys where I have said I wish I weight trained more, but definitely have been tapped out by superior technique and lost in later matches in tourneys due to lack of gas tank.
