    The TS brought up a specific question regarding the optimum rep ranges for strength development. I'd point out that training optimization would allow him to have more productive strength training sessions and afford him more time for actual boxing training.

    Furthermore, no one was advocating that people solely focus on strength/conditioning training and sacrifice skill acquisition. That's why for endurance training, I'd prefer to do something boxing specific, as opposed to alternatives that may not have that much carry over.

    I'd venture a guess that most folks intent on competing in boxing probably don't devote more than 3 training sessions per week on strength/conditioning training. For beginners, the boxing training alone is taxing enough that strength training is neglected altogether.

    There's no point in having ridiculous strength if you can't apply it quickly. Those guys are beatable because of their skill level, not because they lifted weights incorrectly.
    A boxer would have to be a complete idiot to use weights as endurance for boxing, that is such an inefficient use of their time. Sports specificity is more important than anything especially when it comes to conditioning for stamina. Endurance for boxing is built on the bags, pads and sparring.

    To be fair if a boxer is lacking in the strength and conditioning compartment it means that they won't be able to apply their skills.
    Many an average athlete has turned into a great one with a proper strength and conditioning program.

    You think you’re still right handed.

    You’re a forced lefty......... if you can’t even admit that to yourself you don’t know anything.

    :lol: Who is this guy? Everything you say has nothing to do with anything, you're a troll. I don't think of myself as either left or right hand dominant because I'm not, I do different things with different hands. I am a natural right hander though, I used to do pretty much everything right handed. But if you know better then okay sir :lol:

    For the record, unless you're taking in excess calories then you're not really going to be gaining much size no matter what rep range you lift it.

    Some scientific ***** wrote why chimpanzees are so much stronger than humans is because of the amount of gray matter in the CNS. Also, a guy named Dennis Rogers has freakish strength, you'd look him and would never guess that he can fold a frying pan with his bare hands, and rip a deck of playing cards in half easily. You can see Dennis on some youpube vids.

    Can training change the CNS composition? I'm just guessing it can't.
