Bodybuilding workout for boxing

Biceps helps with hooks and uppercuts!!!!
There are no exercises with weights or not that are not worthy.
BUT if someone wants to be a boxer he should concetrate to
the technique and endurance first not how to become strong.

 

ok, firstly, Ingar, keep arguing for your bicep curls and have fun doing them, I really don't care. Secondly, even though 2-5 reps won't build as much mass as 8-12, it still does to a certain degree. I was doing that type of strength training 3 days a week (not consecutive) and after about a month my muscles were feeling heavier. So I only do it once or twice a week now, with my other strength training session being mainly bodyweight stuff, and only do the explosive compound lifts.

 

:huh ingar isn't arguing, he just made one point.......

 

sideline comments....

 

I can't think of a single reason for a boxer to isolate the biceps.

Biceps are lagging behind? How does that work? How do you determine your biceps are lagging behind? :huh

Actually it's not like that at all. But thanks anyway.

 

good point, how exactly do you determine your biceps are lagging?

maybe to look sexy?

 

Don't biceps allow you to lock your hook solid?

 

The thing about weights is everyone has an opinion on how many reps does what. I used to get muscle magazines and it would feature some known body builder and his workout. One week the guy would say high reps for mass and the next week another known body builder would say low reps for mass. I was always told to work with high reps for defintion. It just comes down to what you were told is what your believe. So calling some-one else and idiot because they read somewhere the opposite of what you read does not make sense to me.

I used to switch high reps for 3 weeks then low reps for 3 weeks but I was not boxing. I don't see any need to lift weights in boxing. IMHO
I myself box just to spar the fighters and want to have a decent looking body and that is why I lift. I may do a am fight but we'll see.

 

Perhaps, along with every other muscle in the arms, back, shoulders, chest, etc. There is no need to isolate the biceps. A punch is not an arm movement, it's a body movement.

 

if you want better hooks isn't it better to actually hook?

 

Impossible, that's oldschool. If you want to get more power, lift weights. It's common knowledge.

 

A way to gain strength and no muscle, is eat just enough to maintain your bodyweight. I was doing it for a while and actually lost about 3 pounds(not much but still) but gained about 25-30 pounds on my bench, 45-55 pounds on my squat and 60 pounds on my deadlift. Didnt gain even 1/4 on any of my muscles.

 

at first people made it as if weights were cancer, now it seems like weights are the only way to be a succesful boxer,

the simpler methods are being ignored, people seem to forget weights are only a supplement to your actual training.

 

Weights are the same as the old methods.. pushups bodyweight-squats, pullups... theyre are the same as weights, only with weights you add more resistance.

 

I only do pushups and such for warming up. After that my real boxing workout begins.

@Relentless:
Agreed.
