Interesting fact: Al Hayman passed on Benn's calisthenics routine to the Mayweather's when Benn was helping to train Frank Bruno for the Tyson fight in '96 and Hayman was in the camp
I remember seeing Benn barbell curling 135lbs for 15 reps easily before his fight with Michael Watson.
Got a benn set. Need rewatch it. I know he used 1 of those elastic power punch bands like lifeline puts out.
I find it hard to believe this is the only boxing specific training he did to be honest - these routines always seem like bull**** to me I do as many rounds on bags and pags as that in my workouts
