muscles in boxing

And? You're comparing a sport where a 300lbs guy launches himself at someone else to a sport where somebody gets punched with ****ing padded gloves. What the **** kind of comparison is that?

It's aslo completely irrelevant to weight training.

Again, you have a misunderstand of the basics of weight training for athletes.

I've never claimed to know a thing about boxing.

The point is the trainee can reach his/her power potential. Something it seems you don't understand.

 

I'll take a 300lb man launching me then a crack to the head,but thats me. The point you still get injured through lifting heavy weights even if its for power..I know 3 people having operations(although old) due to lifting for exactly what you're talking about

Nah it aint, You use every muscle in boxing so you will tire early

No other sport is comparable to boxing.

Nothing a hand gripper and push ups cant do.

 

You'd rather a 300lbs guy runs at you as fast as possible and hits you with his shoulder as hard as he can thn get a punch to the head from a guy wearing a padded glove. You my friend are a ****ing moron.

Also, you can get injured picking up a piece of paper off the floor...

Weight training does not cause the injury when that 300lbs man half kills you, it's the 300lbs man hitting you that causes the injuries.

You really have no idea. I guess you mean more muscle = exhaustion. Wrong.

Another random, irrelevant fact

If you believe that you're truly ******ed.

 

No youre just a *****. I grew up playing league and union.

No. There are players who are injured due to the weight lifting.

Can you quote me one pro boxer that I can look up,who does weight training like yours? I know of some HWs and their stamina is terrible

Again you're knocking something you've never tried or what ya talking about. No point looking like Tarzan but fighting like Jane.

 

I'm bored now.

 

play to your strengths, practice your weaknesses

 

Every muscle should be strong in boxing. Basic weight lifting techniques don't always cover everything. Squats don't work your feet and calves enough. Neck Machines are rare.

Honestly, if you want longevity, I would drop any weight program and focus on strenght based calesthenics mixed with some stair/hill running, pylometrics, and some vehicle pushing.

It reduces the chance of injury you have with weights and you can become incredibly strong. There is also a body weight excercise capable for working every muscle.

 

:huh Don't work your feet and calves enough? How much is enough?

Hang on. You say push a vehicle which would probably weigh around a ton, this would be far safer injury wise than doing squats with a weight you could manage? Are you kidding me?

The return of HENDO?

 

Well, when you get older, in your thirties or late twenties, if you have weak feet and calves, you are susceptible to plantar faciitis. Working your calves prevents this.

Of course, never push around a vehicle without another person present. You need someone riding break. I suppose it could be an inconveniece, but if you're boxing, you're usually working out with a group of people.

 

I agree 100% with the car pushing, great exercise, but saying drop all weight lifting then advocating car pushing (which is weight training) kind of goes against what you said.

You're more likely to be injured while boxing than in the gym if you know what you're doing.

 

OMG.............................

 

it is important to have strong shoulders and to get your shoulders into your shot when throwing power punches but it is also important to have good triceps as well.

 

Shoulders and triceps don't have much to do with punching power, they're more translators. The actual power comes from your hips.

 

It is the leg muscles and buttock, followd by the back then shoulders then arms. But good technique and natural punching power is more improtant than all of those together. You can have a mountain of muscles and punch like a baby or have not many muscles and punch with hands of stone like roberto duran. Roberto Duran could probably punch harder than alot of big guys.

 

Ass muscles only. 100% ass muscles.
