    Hi all,

    So I am looking to start boxing Wednesday I have done it before but years ago when I was young and only for a few months. I'm now 26 and decided I want to give it a shot maybe have a few ametuer fights if I get good enough.

    My question is currently all I do is weight training split over 5 days mon-chest tue-back weds-rest thu-shoulder fri-arms sat-legs. Generally my rep range is 6-10 dependant on if it's a compound movement with more isolated movements are more around the 12 rep range.

    If I am now going to attempt boxing I need to shift this around and potential change the way I train as at present I train for muscle mass and strength.

    I will be going to start the boxing on a Wednesday night and I need to find out from experienced people what would be the best way to incorporate my weight training, if I should even be weight training, how many days a week should I work out and what type of exercises I should be performing and at what rep range.

    If they think I am any good or have a shot they will move me in to the competition training which will be 2 days a week but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

    Thanks in advance.
