training the legs for boxing specific speed and power

squats, deadlifts and sprinting is all you really need for your legs.

other than that you will get more out of sparring and pads than you will out of auxilliary exercises.

 

But as such will not improve nuerophysical speed response, that comes from unbalancing the oral cavity, or trying too. Theres 3 main players Oral cavity, Coxxys, big toe. Plus activating the responses in the heel.

 

Door Bell went , The heel will activate the TFL, without it youre going nowwhere. the adductors wont respond.

 

Tensor facia larta?? Or something lol...

Crosses the hip and knee joints?

 

Cant do a lot without it.

 

you're throwing theory around when really the best thing you can do to train a movement is to continuously repeat that movement. Strength IS neuromuscular coordination.

 

Not really. Got to take the wife out its Her Birthday :good

 

yes.. really.

read 'Science and practice of strength training' - Zatiorsky
and 'Practical programming' - Mark Rippetoe

 

Yes Onepunch, Ive read there work sometime ago I must admit. Zatiorsky I thought had the right idea, Newtons law and all that, which is sound. I dont agree on the practice or many of the routines to acqiure the result. I dont think they do enougth for progressing Speed, and endurance which are so important in Boxing. I will say, at the moment theres PHd course underway at the biggest Sport university in England on some of my work. Which 2 of the Proffessors are over the moon with the results. When they are completed Ill send you a copy, could change your mind it seems to have changed everybody elses. Newtons law can be turned around. :good

I find it interesting, that Man City have got rid of the weights at there Academy. Its not that they cant afford them, Im told the Lads are loving the new regime. Seems to be getting results beat Arsenals u18 last week 5 , 2,.

 

Could try treading water in a pool with weights above your head. Low impact workout for endurance and fatigue of the lower body. Water polo players tread while holding pool furniture above them. I think swimming in general would be a good thing for any athlete to put into their routine for low impact leg work.

Squats are the bread and butter of most leg strengthening programs for athletes. These have to be done correctly for the obvious reason of reducing injury, but also to target your goal, hip drive. Second the Mark Rippetoe reference. Youtube his squat videos and he goes through the importance of form. Increasing your hip drive intensity should translate to power and speed. Skip the leg press machine at the gym and head to that squat rack. Never neglect strengthening your back and core.

Also stretching and balance. You can make an indo board, it is a real cheap balance toy. 2 liter soda bottle full of water and a piece of plywood or skateboard deck. Get real low on it like your squatting weights and your legs will be shaking furiously.

Its hard to pinpoint boxing specific work, because nothing can match up to the repetition that creates the muscle memory of drilling proper technique. Hope this helps.
