Shadow Boxing

this is why were here h...hope u had a good christmas

 

Consensus usually says to leave them alone because you get get injurys in the joints and people usually mis informed in what theyre meant to do with thr weights. but with guidance by serious trainers they are a good tool. Some students want to practice feel during shadow box with a little resistance, thats alright. to try Using something differant.

hand weights are more conditioning exercises, even in circuits. our trainer will throw us some light hand weights to burn the shoulders with rolling upper cuts, punch out in front or over the head. just to burn the muscle create some stamina.

pretty much what you see here to get the idea. its definitely not a staple of your workout but it is a good tool to add into training

 

Trouble is, its not the correct Feel of movement youre getting

 

You're on a boxing forum. Kostya Tszyu is a professional boxer and is showing you exactly what to do. You're not a professional boxer therefore your scientific opinons have no merit on this forum.

Have a good day.

 

:deal

 

Kostya actually did incredibly well considering some of the ideas he had. One meal a day and no fish because of the salt content... Training for as many hours as he could at a time, including weights in every boxing session.
When Danny Green almost died from heat exhaustion and ended up in hospital after a fight good ol' Kostya came out and claimed that it was good for him and would make him a better boxer..... I **** you not.

 

So a professional boxer and a ****ing ******. This is a mix that's seen all to often.

 

To be honest I think that's why he seemed to regress from his amateur days, he still had his punch as a pro but the speed and skills were at a much higher level when he was boxing for Russia.

 

You the boss man :bbb..

 

Did you even see the video smarty pants? What bones could you possibly pickw ith what he was doing?

Boxing is a subjective and introspective sport, all the scientists in the world could gather and not achieve a win. Yet ray robinson drank cows blood, JMM drinks his own **** and dumbass ali ran(can you believe ran) in army boots.

 

Well all due respect, you know your stuff but says who? If i'm figuring out my jab and want to use a bit of downward weight to give me a feel of whats going on, whos going say im doing the wrong thing?

 

I was repsonding to Scrap's post, he had issues with it not me. Your post kind of proves my point, though, he's a pro boxer so you can't say anything against what he's doing or people get upset...

Nobody said scientists could train a boxer for a win. The point is boxers and boxing coaches are extremely ignorant of science. If the pros of the past didn't do it, you can **** off with your "new science" is the attitude of most boxers and coaches. The clueless guys that still wake up at 5am to do a 5 mile run every day are a good example of this ignorant attitude.

:blood

 

Dude, that has nothing to do with boxing experience, it has to do with weightlifting and strength training, in which I have a lot of experience.

 

Sports science has had a tough road in boxing but these 'old boiler' coaches will say if it isn't broke then dont fix it. Their boy is a winner then stuff what you have to say. Though recently new technqiues have had a huge impact in boxing. I especially like watching Wlad and Vitalis new modern regimes, which also include light weights i'll add. After 5 minutes of youtube i've just seen mosley and mayweather using weights in their regimes. It definitely is hard to look credible next to a winner and a world champ who is telling you to do it. I can't disagree there.

I didn't say the last quote.

 

My coach had me shadowbox with them in order to have endurance for correct form. He said "if you can get the right form tired, you'll do it perfect without the weights." He had us move with them too. I guess the benefit is endurance more than it is speed.
