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

[TheGreatA]

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

I do not see this exercise preparing a fighter for the 11th and 12th rounds of a fight.

Coming from a clown who never fought, was never a coach and doesn't even belong to a boxing gym yet "knows" how we train? You sir are the definition of an idiot. Have fun in your bubble you ****ing dink

Don't even begin to call me a clown and an idiot with that load of bull**** and ignorance in your previous post.

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 sc**** 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.

Powerful stuff those salts. Thanks for sharing your story.
