All this P.E.D stuff is making me question the history of the sport

[Shabba Rank$]

How would you know that current stone age boxing training is the only way to train for boxing when you refuse to try anything else? Boxing still has their fighters doing hundreds of push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups. Do you know how little all that translates to a power/endurance sport?

No sport is about who the best is at exercising except for the phaggy time crossfit games on ESPN.

But it's time to wake up and get with the times.

Then what would your recommended updated training methods be.

Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely interested on new training methods for boxing.

You've never seen boxers train if you think that ******. Go get a membership at a real boxing gym for a while. Be ready to fight in the gym though "power/endurance sport" boy.

I've seen plenty of boxers training.

Boxing from a physical standpoint along with MMA is Power/Endurance Power/Recovery.

There may have been some enhancers back then probably more natural than the synthetic stuff of today. We won't know for sure.

Heck they used to use smelling salts to revive fighters in their corners back in the day.

cannot be overstated

i played hockey for 15-20 years
i saw guys get knocked out cold. i've knocked both boys and men out myself, unfortunately.

smelling salts WORK
they fucking work. i have never been in a state where i've needed them, but i've seen them extensively.


you used to be able to scrape a fighter off of the canvas when the bell rang as well. you could carry him back to the corner when he was virtually unconscious and on the ground. or if he was out on his feet you could assist him back to the corner.

they'd hit him with the salts and get water on his head and if he was in shape and a great fighter he would have a chance of working his way back into a fight after being all but out cold.

If I were boxing my routine would consist of

Sprints
Oly Lifts
Compound Lifts
Calisthenics/Accessory Work
Stretching

So as a template I'd do something like this

Earlier in the day

Sprints - 100 meters x 8-10

For the actual routine

Dynamic Stretching - 10 minutes

Power Cleans 7x3 @ progressively higher weights

Barbell Row 12, 10, 8, 6

Chins- Bodyweight 20, 20, 20, 20

Stretching - Cooldown

No they don't

then you mention 3 bodybuilding exercises

What the hell is a "bodybuilding exercise"? Bodybuilding is a way of training. There are no bodybuilding exercises. An exercise performed a certain way for a certain amount of reps the reason behind doing it is what is important.

Power Cleans are for bodybuilders? Good God. Talk about ******ed statements.

You're a fuking idiot my friend.

and a calisthenic that you just criticized 5 min ago.

No I criticized the use of solely calisthenics for hundreds of reps.

Jesus and you call me ******ed. You can't even read

[I Love Jesus!]

No they don't
