Like bench press etc etc?

How often do boxers do weights?

I think it depends on themselves

Everyone has different training techniques. I lift weights 4 days a week.

Yay post # 3000!!!!!!!!

I dont lift weights.

Just do lots of Pushups, Chinups, Situps....

i lift once a week, sometimes twice a week if i'm feelin up to it. depends on how you feel and your intensity throught the week's workouts.

buy a book weight lifring for boxing! gives you a rough idea! in season i do twice a week and 1- 5 days a week off season

season? there's no off season in boxing my man. and that book is totally awful by the way. dont follow those routines. and dont follow an on / off season. boxing is year round my friend...:boxing:

Maybe he means off seasons as normal routine and on seasons as working towards a fight?

Some areas in Europe have an "amateur season", and gyms close for quite a bit of time for the off season, so training is to a minimum.

In the US there is no season, we fight all year.


I would look into getting a session with a trainer, and not one at Bally's or your standard health club. Look for a certified strength trainer who can tailor a basic power/speed lifting routine for you and teach you proper form and get you on your way.

we have seasons, and we train a bit different from on to offseason

Thanks for the great responses everyone.
