Calzaghe's Old School Training

ur a ****ing moron idk how to respond to that stupidity. doing tons of pushups and situps etc is just a waist o time and so is running 6 miles

 

Just cause it worked for Calzaghe doesn't mean it worked/will work for everybody.

 

Yeah diffrent things work for diffrent people. Some people can get away without doing roadwork, others can't. Same goes for everything else.

 

Load of BS. Everything you've said are components of a boxer, but you forgot skill. For example, Calzaghe could easily get stronger from lifting weights, but for some reason, like many boxers believe, weights are evil.

 

well if calzaghe sprinted and lifted weights he would be even better

 

That's what I mean. He has the skills but he could still improve and lifting weights would help, a lot.

 

Frank Bruno never touched a bag or ran a mile, he was natrually talented.

 

calzaghe also dehydrates himself to make weight.

 

I don't know what you guys are talking about, the kid has some valid points.
Plus, saying that if Calzaghe lifted weighs and sprinted he would be better... I'm sorry to that you can't get much better than him, he the best in the world at his weight class and hes never really had any "close" fights. So apperently his training is the best for him and I'm sure hes tried other methods of training that didn't work as good (aka lifting).

Like one of you mentioned before, different things work better or worse for different people, there is no right or wrong to working out for the individual. Honestly I don't believe in weights either and I don't believe weights will make me stronger in comparision to using only calistenics. But once again that's my opinion and what works best for my body.

 

Calzaghe's training routine works perfectly for him, but everyone's different. The fact that he's one of the most skilled boxers of all time helps to balance out the lack of any weight lifting in his routine.

 

I fully agree.
