How is weights incorporated in Pacquaio's training?

Really?
Tell me more about it!
What sort of training do you do, and with who?
How d you get clients, mainly?

 

look , power comes in many different forms it depends on what you are training for , plyometrics for the lower body builds power for basketball players or sprinters , power cleans and squats build power for olympic weight lifters , and so a planche or a one arm pull up builds power in the upperbody for gymnasts , i dont see how you can disagree with that , im not trying to have an argument but you have not explain why they DONT build power and so why do you expect me to go along with what your saying when it makes no sense ?

 

i do understand neither excersize involves the same sort of explosive effort as for example what plyometrics require , but if people use weight lifting excersizes to build power which they do , i dont see how a one arm pullup is any different when most people who can do them cant bang out high reps anyway ?

 

I teach boxing to beginners and some amateurs.

I also coach people of all ages and abilities, men and women- to better fitness. I get clients through word of mouth and I work for a company that provides me with clients. Last year my boxers went something like 11-3 with all three losses being in the ams on majorites.

Don't profess to know everything but I know the fundamentals and my clients tend to get the results they are looking for provided the apply themselves correctly when not at the gym :good

What else do you want to know?

 

In that case its great, just that you will never see a guy over 170lbs do that sort of thing, but there are plenty of guys over 170lbs who have a strong back. It's quite bodyweight, and specific training, dependant. As I said earlier its the same as doing olympic weightlifting from scratch to improve power, they are the best thing ever for power, but the amount of time required to get proficient enough at them to do them to a decent degree and without much chance of injury, is better used in doing simpler exercises with a smaller learning curve and the rest of the time spent on developing other qualities since training time is limited and there is always so much stuff to cover if you want to be a strong allrounder.

 

Thanks that was a great response
Where do you coach these people?
And the ultimate question, do you make good money?

 

Money is good mate and I get great job satisfaction. I would recommend that you go to college- only if to give you a little more 'credability' with gyms that you intend to use - plus insurance. You might learn a new something dead small that maes a big difference.

The funny thing about training is that most trainers profess to be better then one person or the other but in reality knowlege in this field is largely imeasurable. For every theory there is a counter theory, and an argument against it and so on. Best way is just to try different things and see what works for that person. These forums are a great place to swap info and find out new things.

Thats whats lifes about (learning) and whether you acquire the knowledge in a gym or on a forum makes little difference- how you apply it is the key.

 

I agree with the seeing what works for everyone, and learning through your own means!
Excellent.
Sounds like a good deal, but harder to get started. Pretty much like any other self employed person I suppose.

 

I get most of my work by word of mouth- try doing some free sessions to get going first of all

 

You are mistaking power for strength
power= strength x rate of force
a Strength excersize (one arm pullup) does not necessarly generate power.

Strength excerises (pullups,weightlifting, etc) in conjuction with speed excerises (polymetrics) are what generate POWER.
