    No, I created this routine to create and produce power.
    What I did when creating this workout (the non-boxing portion of it), was to combine heavy lifting exercises while still doing many cathistenic type exercises along with it. My reasoning behind it is that I feel if you do only or too much heavy lifting, will will only gain size and some physical strenght while sacrificing much of your speed and evasivness. I feel by combining the two of heavy lifting and calistenics, I can still build power while maintaining my speed. I used to doing only calistenics, combined with my boxing routine before this.
    I've being keeping 100% to this new workout now for the past 3 weeks. And I've only gained a total of 2lbs muscle and I've gone down from 7% body fat to 6%, I was 149lbs when I changed up the workout.
    And in the process I have noticed a significant increase in my punching power and I've lost no speed, if anything I've even increased in speed.

    it looks alot like crossfit,

    you cant really be lifting heavy for that long so the weight must be pretty light,

    if you want a real power workout mix up endurance with plyometrics

    for example try this

    100 rope turns
    10 clap push ups
    15 medicine ball slams
    20 lateral jumps over the medicine ball

    rest 30 seconds and repeat 8 times

    a power workout should have a mix of explosive and endurance exercises.

    and plus you cant go from 7% to 6% that easy, you will have to take out everything you have, you also would've had to carbs away from your diet.

    Well I use the Calipers and thats the reading I get after all calculations, regarless I'm still constantly taking away and adding to the power portion of the workout, I orginially posted this not as a set workout but as something I could get feedback on and see what else I might want to add.

    Secondly who is Zelenoff? lol

    your workout is ok but let me give you a few tips....

    shorten them, a conditioning drill is supposed to be short and very intense,

    dont do the same routine over and over again, your body will adapt and it will burn you out

    if you want a conditioning drill for power, mix explosive plyometrics with endurance exercises

    power and strength is better trained seperatley, you cannot build maximum power/strength while feeling fatigue.

    I got the basis of my workout from that. My workout has those few exercises with an addition of my own exercises and mine is all done in completely different reps then the original "300".
    Only thing I'm really taking credit for in that workout is the name of it.
    So I'm not taking credit for anyones work, because it's my work.

    The 300 "workout" is only a test, it's not a routine to be done a few days a week.

    I don't see how you expect this to increase your punching power?

    I know that, that is why I change it and turned it into a workout rather than a "test". I added exercises to it and almost tripled the amount of reps you do in it.
