Why do Boxers Avoid Body Building?

It's a good thing that bag can't hit you back dude. So many mistakes. Keep it up though, and good luck.

K1 have really missed out on this guy, they must be kicking themselves

okay.. with regards to the whole power equation thing.

power is velocity times force (which is mass times acceleration).

but the point with punching is, putting on more mass, doesnt mean that you're putting more more mass behind the punch.

also

if you increase your bodyweight a lot, without increasing your strength (or only increase your strength very slightly), your just slowing yourself down. not increasing your power.

the idea of increasing your body weight always increasing your power is based on the assumption that the velocity of your punch will stay the same as you increase in weight. it is far more likely that the power will remain constant, and the velocity will decrease.

I dont understand the myth that big muscles makes you a bad boxer?


This guys punch must be powerful like the hulk1

as i see again...u dont know **** about boxing, i say again because ive read u only enjoy the hyped fights...

body building will make u gain weight but no power...for a boxer it has nonsense

Because it kills your stamina late in the fight.

Briggs vs Ibragimov


Count the times Jameel McCline has lost simply because of stamina issues.


Frank Bruno always came up a little bit short.


Shavers punched hard but had trouble finishing fights because of his bad conditioning.

Ken Norton was superbly conditioned, Foreman said he knocked him out so quickly cause he was afraid of him and his physique!!!!

its kinda ironic you say this, when a few weeks ago, k1 asked me to be part of the national team of holland, for the k-1 youth.
but i was 1 year to old to participate,(just a few months) 2bad ^_^.

u must be kidding...

Boxers, according to Mackie Shilstone, should lift heavy weights with few reps.
He trained Roy Jones when he moved up to heavy, and Hopkins when he went up.
I've got his book, Lean & hard, which is highly detailed on how to train and what to eat. I recommend it.

real heavy weights with low reps does nothing but shocks the muscles and forces it to grow which leads to muscle mass. thats maybe why hopkins and jones used that technique becuase they needed more mass but other than for that reason boxers would not do heavy weight low reps.

very low reps dont make you bulky. Muscles grow mostly in the 8-12 rep range. If you look at powerlifters (who train around 5 reps for 5 sets) they are not bulky, especially the lighter ones.

Low reps thicken the muscle fibers and make you stronger for a 1 rep max but dont give you a bodybuilders physique. 8-12 reps causes an increase in number of fibres,

I`ve never head of low reps being used to shock muscles.
