What type of weight lifting should I do for boxing?

Honestly.. I would recommend stopping with the machines completely and sticking to dumbbells. Only machines I've found to work the muscle as closely to proper as I'd like are for the legs.

Incline dumbbell chest press, regular flat dumbbell chest press, and lower dumbbell chest press will give you a strong and solid chest.

If you want to thicken your abs, you have to thick of them as also a muscle that needs to be fatigued with higher weights in order to build them. To do this, I'll use a rope and a pulley. Facing towards it and setting it at the top of the highest pin, I'll hold the rope over the top of my head and then curl as if I'm bowing to the crunching gods. You'll feel it throughout the entire rack of each individual ab if your doing this correctly.

 

Still on the **** diet?

 

:rofl

If the diet's wrong, there's no point in worrying about lifting weights.

You should look to include some floor work into your routine. You also need to get some explosive lifts in. You need exercises that have a direct carryover to boxing - cleans, overhead presses, lots of leg work, pc work, lots of unilateral work etc.

By the looks of what you are doing currently, you will actually hinder your progress. Tie this in to the poor diet, and you will never get anywhere... seriously.

 

SQUATS are a MUST.

Do a basic 5x5 routine to build strength and mass quickly:

Day 1 : 5x5 Squats, 5x5 Bench Press, 3xF (work to failure - til u cant do anymore) Inverted rows, 3xF Press-ups, abs

Day 2: 5x5 Squats, 5x5 overhead press, 1x5 deadlift, 3xf pull-ups/chin-ups, abs

Lift as heavy as you can and try to add 2.5kg to your lifts every session

3 sessions a week

if you do that routine, with proper diet, and try your hardest ine very session you will be looking considerably more filled out and MUCH stronger within 3 months

 

this is not too much squatting?
I only do them once a week as part of a 3-day weights routine

 

This seems pretty good. But, do you think that you should add weight to the pull ups? Because it looks like the pushing exercises and the squats are carrying more of a heavy load while the pull ups is more reps. I think doing heavy weighted pull ups will balance it out more.

 

Is it your own site, by any chance? :think

 

Walk before you run

 

Out of interest, does anybody use Rubber to repace Weights. Theres a thing called Super Red Rubber been using it for sometime. You can get different thicknesses and widths to suite the exercises you want to perform. Plus its got the same Mechanics as Muscles and Joints much better feel to it.

 

Scrap - I use Ironwoody fitness bands as an integral part of my training. I find that the progressive resistance can add explosiveness throughout the rom, which is clearly, very important for boxing.

 

Got a link to those product BOdi? :good

 

I believe I have, Jeff:

I mainly use bands 2,3,4 and 5 for my training. I also have two of every band, this comes in handy for things like squats, overheads etc, as you simply link one band over either end of the bar.

 

Was searching for Rubber for a machine that was being developed and came across this stuff Super Red, its industrial stuff. It lasts for ever, the 6mill stuff you can get in any length and width. I think its great stuff, you have to pop rivett the stuff for Handles or looping But great stuff, you can do all sorts with it :good.

 

Its great for Catapulting :good
