pacquiao lifted weights...

heavyweights dont make you slower, its a myth but you're a beginner i suggest you forget about all that and just stick to your boxing workouts for now.

 

hmmmm..... maybe because they know what they are talking about?

 

exactly

do you think alex ariza got hired just because roach likes him?

or ronnie shields hired billy caldwell because he lives near the gym?

 

no he didn't tyson was doing bodybuilding workouts and isolating muscles, he was doing 10-15 reps as shown on the build up to the lewis fight.

you're clueless.

 

Explosive strength is built from using both plyometrics and ballistic lifts at 50% -70% of your 1rm capacity and explosive strength needs a foundation of maximal strength to draw from.

!-5lbs will do nothing for anyone. Did you even read my links or do any of your own research? If the olympic boxing team lift heavy than i'm more inclined to trust their coaches than your opinion from 7 months of boxing training.

As people have said anyone that knows anything about boxing conditioning will incorporate weights into their routines if they want a competitive edge.

 

Tyson was training for hypertrophy, you can tell he got into it in the joint because he was huge when he came out.

Training for strength and training for size are done completely differently, if you train for bulk than you will most likely lose speed. Isolating muscles is not the way to go but any reputable coach will advise using weights properly.

Also it was 8 yrs and the point still stands tyson got into bodybuilding in prison. And again bodybuilding is not strength training.
