Bench Pressing

[dario]

You want to do "SERIOUS TRAINING" on your bench, but you don't want to even try to get as big (which is easier said than done) as Evander. And just to let you know, if you start to develop only your bench and not your back, shoulders, and abs... you might as well forget about it and wait until your shoulder lets out and then you can't do **** for a long ass time.

haha if you're serious about boxing, you would want to have that build

im 5'11 and i fight at 141

having hieght and speed is gonna help you out, i dont know why you want to get rid of your advantages

the best advantage a boxer can have is size and hieght over his opponents

at least in the amatuers

professional is different i guess

[Run]

Whatever, point being you don't want bulky muscles that tire fast.

They **** you over in a fight.

Bench once a week if you want. Definately no more than that.

I didnt mean serious training on the bench... I was talking about in GENERAL, obviously Im working more muscles, I was asking about BENCHING inparticular.. If I should add that into my routine

and to lights out, what u said didnt make any sense... you said.. if im serious about boxing i would want to be holyfields build? LoL thats dumb

Frankly, most of the fighters these days do weights. I remember training at Gleason's, pretty much everyone of the regulars did weight training at one point or another.

I'd do lots of pushups instead. You can do them at different angles, with claps, diamond pushups, one handed, wide hands, etc. They'll work more muscles than benching, you can do lots of them and you can do them anywhere. The clap pushups especially help give you explosiveness. You can get some of the same benefits benching with light weights but I think you'd get more for boxing out of doing lots of pushups.

Yeah I have a pushup bar, thats what Ive been doing (with diffrent angels)... I was just talking about if i should add the benching into my workout, or not (maybe 2wice a week)

IMO it wouldn't hurt but theres probably better things you could do with your gym time. If you have lots of time then go for it. Personally I don't get nearly as much time in the gym as I'd like so I can't do everything I would want to.

Nahh I dont do none of this at the gym, this is at home training... When I go to the gym, its strickly boxing training

when Im at home, I do my own work outs (push ups, sit ups, curls ect.)
