    Actually you four are the main reason why this forum is terrible. Thinking you lot know better than actual boxing/mma trainers. Hilarious.

    The sad thing is, when it comes to strength and conditioning of an athlete, we do probably know more.

    I don't know why you dislike me? Maybe you asked a ****ing re****ed question and I gave you an honest answer?

    Are strength and conditioning major components of a boxer?

    :good

    Boxers are notorious for being stuck in the dark ages when it comes to training.

    I think pads are more important for developing technique (especially punching on the move) but bag work does allow you creative freedom and also conditions you differently. Hitting the bag is tiring in a way the pads aren't for some reason. The bag is more like a person in terms of how heavy the thing you're slugging at is.

    I see your point, But the most brutal sessions in the gym that I have had other than sparring were on the pads.

    If you do May's style, power and mix the two, you will be SMOKED. :good

    Bomber, I am a scientist and probably the only one in the world of boxing. The one who has discovered the scientific formulae for effective boxing conditioning without getting injuried.

    Not sure about the other guys but I've read some of Viru$'s posts and he has some good valid points. There's definitely an element of old school thinking in boxing and reluctance to come in line with up to date training methods that other sports have fully embraced.

    Virus, I have over 40 years boxing experience, amateur and professional. I have also been a trainer and devised a training method that was shown to be effective on boxing pupils.

    This is also backed up with my academic qualifications and personal research of over 40 years.
    These are my relevant qualifications for the world of boxing which I used:

    O level physics, O level biology, O level human biology, A level human biology, HND (Applied Biology), BSc (Hons) Biological Science, PGDip Food Safety, Hygiene and Management,
    NEBOSH ( Occupational Health and Safety)

    Now while you lol away what quals have you got ?
