Have any of you ever used a plyometrics program in conjunction with your boxing training?

yes. my trainer mixes in pylos. jump squats, squat thrusts, mountain bikes.. i hatem all. but i know they are VITAL to becoming a good/explosive athlete, let alone boxer.

Just wondering, it's been awhile since I was actively training in the sport. And the plyometrics of today are vastly different from the plyometric type things around in my hey day.

i used to do plyos once a week for off ice hockey training during the season, and sometimes up to 5 times a week during the off season depending on the camp. so i have a very strong hate for plyos. but i need to start incorporating them into my boxing training. right now i don't do any.

keneisiology has improved plyometric training a lot since the mid to late 90's. i forget what the old workouts were like, but they were quite different and weren't nearly as effective as todays.

im not totally versed in what specifically falls under plyometrics, but i think i have the idea. my friend and i set up a circut workout that was great the other day.
25 jumping jacks
25 pushups
25 situps
10 burpees
rope climb (have a 25ft in the gym at school)
5 pull ups
25 hopping over medicine ball

the key is to go from one exercise to the next without rest in the set. the goal is to shoot for 5 sets.

the hurpees, jumping, and pushups - but they have to be plyo pushups, where your hands get off the ground when u go up. that's pylometrics. i've noticed a real increase in my punching power since i started doing this ****
