    Hmm, I don't think you should work too much weights if you are just boxing, other than doing heavy legwork, which really helps with power.

    You want to get strong, do assloads of dips, pushups and pullups. Young hypnotic, being a highschool wrestler who is into combat sports probably has some good insight as to strength training to aid in power.. I think some light weight dips, like dips with something like a 25-35 lb plate, and working towards things like 6 sets of 15-20 pull ups would do wonders for the type of strength a boxer might want without putting on weight. I went through a phase when I was younger.. I ate almost nothing but tuna for protein (bad for you due to the mercury) a salad every now and then, and cheerios. I was working on pull ups every day, on top of a normal workout routine (USMC we do loads of pull ups) and I got to a point where I was busting out 20-30 reps easy any way I could place my hands. I was gripping over, under, and over behind the neck in consecutive reps.. 2 sets of each. I felt stronger then, than any point in my life.. I'm stronger, as in I can push more weight now, but I don't have the same type of strength I did back then.

    Dips get to be like pushups, which is why I suggest doing weighted dips, just be careful with form or you can hurt your rotator cuffs.

    Legs? They make you powerful, make you feel powerful, and other people will feel your power if you have strong legs. Lunges with dumbells, doing barbell squats and presses should be done twice a week.. One week, the meat of your reps should be squats, the next week, the meat of your reps should be leg presses. Dead lifts are great as well for the hammies. I would focus more on finding a weight where you struggle with 3 sets of 10-12 reps, than trying to find a max weight, unless you are into MMA or wrestling, where you need that explosiveness.

    lmao wats with the cheerios. i think 10-12 would be bad for boxer because 8-12 makes u gain muscle; where as lower and higher weights doesnt as much.

    :patsch Lift heavy and explosive with no more than five reps. Stay fresh as possible before during and after workout.

    DO NOT lift for muscular endurance as that part should be done during mitt,heavybag,and sparring sessions.

    I deadlift 360lbs for reps and move very well at 152-157lbs.

    :patschLearn to read before you open that septic tank of a mouth you carry.

    You never said ANYTHING below 5 reps. Also, since you are uneducated, doing additional endurance work with weights along with boxing training will burn out your CNS.

    Not light as in im feeling no burn in muscles. Im only 150 pounds so I dont lift very high just enough to build my endurance and maintain solid strength.
