Would like some advice with a Weight-Lifting Routine for Boxing

Oh you will you have an increase in your Speed

 

God damn, there's another one with the "there's no right or wrong way to train"

See my post here: (clicky), as all of your points have already been addressed.

 

People who arm punch definitely need to try this.

 

I can squat 310, deadlift 410, overhead press 185, bench 275, and do around 20 pull ups straight. if that is what you are basing your knowledge off of i must know what i am talking about huh?

However, I should be quick to note that all them gains are from performing basically 5 sets with 10,10,8,8,6 reps at a higher weight, but I felt stiff and I was gaining weight rapidly.

 

The question wasn't aimed at you, but okay...

Was wondering because most guys that think they know what they're doing don't do those lifts, they do the mirror muscle workouts from flex magazine.

Those numbers are about average.

Do you think you gained weight from lifting weights?

 

Did you say my maxes are average? Maybe for the average fitness freak, but for the average person I don't think so.

I didn't start getting fat until my wife got pregnant around 225 . But prior to that when I was worried about maxing everything out I got to 190 (pretty cut, but could put more effort forward). The thing is when I was at that weight I didn't feel as mobile or athletic as I was before. When I was a teen I was a pretty solid athlete, and when I first joined the military I was probably at my physical peak. Now I am 180, near starvation, cranky, etc, trying to get under 178. As of late however I been feeling like I cracked a threshold, and I am beginning to get into better shape.

 

I'm not sure numbers of those things Im not a weight lifter Im a boxer.

Which grip pullups?

 

Well I went to grammar school and have got a half decent job so im obviously doing something right?

 

I worked this out by noticing noticeable gains in endurance whilst sparring I feel and punch harder. Also my muscles are very toned and ripped

I always warm up, down and perform a ten minute stretch routine before and after training Yet when I lift heavy weights I notice an increase in muscle stiffness the day after training. This is due to increased tearing in the muscles and the more acute affect of DOMS that comes along with it.

If it isn't should I just do one exercise and one exercise only ?

Thought you said variety isn't the key? how am I being misleading please explain

 

I wasn't saying you are thick, what I was saying is your build- not that we can see it- is not an indication of what you know about physiology. I was ripped when I was 18-25 and I knew nothing. I'm bigger now and have got myself in great shape but my knowledge is only part of it.

You may be performing many time wasting exercises without even realising it- thats what I mean.

 

over time most intelligent people realize when something is a waste of time.

 

Yet you're still boxing in your mothers garage

 

second day of Ross Never gymless training MANNNNNNNNNNN talk about intense

 

nothing is a waste of time if your having fun.

 

I am not performing time wasting exercises. I didn't even say that I was doing 20 of everything like this Chal guy. I usually do sets of 8-12 heavyish weights when lifting, And I only lift once, twice max a week anyway. What i'm saying is that I think the idea of never doing 20 reps of any weight lifting exercise because it is the wrong thing to do is a nonsense because if this is true then nobody would ever do more than 12 pressups, because whats the point right?

Also In the gym before we have done a circuit for instance of 8 stations of weights varying from 2-6 kg various exercises eg flys, lateral raises, shadowboxing etc.. and we do between 30 secs - 60 secs constant reps and then told to change, we got round 3 times... was that a pointless exercise?

If I do 20 reps of anything, I'm not leaving a long break in between sets and Im moving onto the next exercise quickly. And mix in heavier sets of 6-10 reps then maybe an interval sprints session straight after on the treadmill or rower... Is this all wrong am I doing something wrong. Is it wrong that I'm usually the only guy in the weights room who breaks a sweat? I don't think so because Since I've started training consistently and intensly this year I've noticed considerable gains in fitness and strength... so im obviously doing something right.
