Rippetoe's Starting Strength, Advisable for boxing?

i just dont like being patronised....

Maximal strength provides a solid foundation for explosive training techniques.too much on max strength however will quickly lead to burnout, both physical and mental. the central nervous system needs time to recover from such intense training sessions. frequent training with maximal loads may compromise restoration causing decreased performance and an increased risk of overtraining and injury (medvedyev, 1986)

A fatiqued central nervous system leads to decreased coordination and reduced power output (bompa,2003)

you can only add weight for so long before burnout, you must include time for restoration,which means including back-off weeks where loads are reduced. research has shown that optimal progress occurs when you alternate periods of increased loading with periods of decreased loading.
continual increases in weight can lead to overtraining, lack of motivation and a higher risk of injury (Siff, 2003a)

thats all im bothered to type up at the moment, but if your still unconvinced, i can get more ..

 

not 'weights' , maximal loads..

 

not being able to apply it quickly enough i mean working with maximal loads wont get you rective strength, but as you say you are working with plyometrics so, just dont make maximal strength training the priority... for the moment you should work on it for a few weeks to build a foundation,

 

The work out is based on maximal strength due to the low rep range.
If your going to do it,it should be 80% to 90% of your one rep max (the amount you can lift once)with 2 to 3 mins rest between sets to allow your body to fully recover and 1 to 2 days rest in between to allow your body enouhg time to recover.
Also warm up with a lighter weight then increase to 80% and add small amounts of weight each set till you reach 90% 1 rep max.
If you box mon,wed,fri do this tuesday,thursday.
Alternate with a power workout every second week by increasing reps to 6 still 2 to 3 mins rest between sets and lowering the weight to 50% to 60% 1rep max and expolde when lifting the weights, move them as quick as possible on the press then lower them at normal pace.
You will gain strength and speed and will not negetively affect your boxing,
when you are fitter then add plyos to your work out.
Also add a few sets of clap push ups in on power days to give you more explosive punches

 

cool, look into periodisation also..
i use a conjugate model of periodisation ex... one day max strength , next day, explosive power work, next day endurance etc ..... all depends what what your goals are..

 

forget scientific studies, i've never known a boxer who strength trains 3 times a week.

Bernard Hopkins was doing 2 strength sessions a week with mackie shilstone but even then one of them was a plyometric/dynamic strength training session.

 

the guy said he was gonna follow the routine.. which stated 3 times a week..

as for hopkins, thats not excessive max load training, alot of it was plyometrics

 

boxing wont hinder revovery only lifting useing the same body parts will eg squats monday ,tuesday also keep proper form through out the lifts to minimise injury
