How is my weight lifting regime?

5 days a week in addition to your boxing training? :shock:

 

I'll get called names for this, but I think you are placing WAY too much emphasis on strength with that routine.

 

No because you're doing it 5 days a week

I think I'll pass on that question, others know much more about weights than I do.

 

Too much isolation.

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift

Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Power cleans

You train on 3 nonconsecutive days per week.

So week 1 might look like:
Monday - Workout A
Wednesday - Workout B
Friday - Workout A

Week 2:
Monday - Workout B
Wednesday - Workout A
Friday - Workout B

Very simple, very effective.

 

You'll have to factor in recovery time as well, not just the time you spend in the gym. It would be 100% impossible for me to lift 5 days a week in combination with boxing. But different strokes for different folks I guess.

 

You need to chill out on that right now. Either 1) you are doing very small weights = no strength 2) you have bad technique allowing you to push out that many reps 3) you are pushing yourself death in which case your CNS will literally break down in a week.

You need to stick to one major lift per day. Ex-Monday=Squats, Tueday-Bench, Wednesday-Deadlift, etc.

Try to limit your assist exercises to like 4-5 MAX. You are looking to get stronger here, not push out a million reps. You will get stronger using warm-up plus max set scheme, with this you will just get tired and sore.

 

Virus' lift scheme is also a very good one. Looks like Rippetoes to me.

 

It is :yep

 

way too many days of this
start out 3 days a week then later on reduce it to 1 or 2 for maintenance
DO TORSO TWISTS with a cable machine, the obliques are one of the most important muscles to strengthen
also do rotator cuff excercises, these are particularly important for throwing hooks and upprcuts. google it

 

Virus's workout has been proven to work, its simple and effective. It's one of the best programs made for strength. You'll only gain mass if you're eating a calorie surplus. I'll offer you a slight alternate to it though that worked well for me (if needed). You would perform every even or odd day of the month; cycling between the two workouts.

WORKOUT A:
3X5 Squat
3X5 Bench Press
3X5 Bent-Over-Rows

WORKOUT B:
3X5 Deadlift
3X5 Military Press
3X5 Weighted Pullups
** If you do want a mass phase that focuses on beach muscles, you can do weighted dips and chinups in place of military press and pullups. Workout A remains same though.

P.S. Virus - Do you still follow crossfit's program? I've just recently returned back to training due to medical problems and I've been doing their website again. It keeps me from getting bored and I like to cycle it into my routine as much as possible. I like to do my own **** for a while, then let them challenge me, and I've basically been repeating this pattern since I've found out about their site.

 

6 reps(this should last about 25 seconds) are good for simultaneously building up and neuro-strength
if you don't want any hypertrophy do 3 reps per set, but don't use the maximum possible weight because this will fatigue your nervous system too much and you might also injure yourself
the connective tissue takes longer to strengthen than the muscles and CNS so don't rush things just take your time and build your strength gradually, not just to prevent injury but to conserve energy for boxing training
it's ok to weight train on consecutive days but only if you are working different parts - don't work your legs for example 2 days in a row
i think it's best to do boxing training first, and then at the end of the week or weekend do the weights then have a rest day then get back to boxing again
