incorporating weights into your training

[Dan23]

I box monday-friday. My usual routine consists of shadow boxing for a couple rounds, then 6-8 rounds heavy bag, then 3 rounds either on the double end bag or 3 rounds on the speed bag, then 6 rounds jump roping.

It changes depending on whether I spar that day, or our coach has us do sprints and other excercises, or i do the mitts with my coach.

my question is, what kinda weight training should I incorporate to be more nimble, quick, and loose.

after the boxing routine I described above, i take about 45 minutes break to shower and get to another gym that has weights. There I do ab works, and I lift weights doing 5 sets of 30 reps. The problem is my routine is too much like a body building routine. Meaning I do about 1 muscle a day and 3 excercises per muscle. If it'll help to answer my question, I can write out exactly what I do.

What do you guys recomend in terms of weight lifting after my boxing routine to become more nimble and quicker?

u weight train every day?? thats no good IMO. if i were u, i would do one day after one of ur workouts with a whole body routine about 3 sets of 25 reps for each muscle, and lift them fast, as fast as u can with good form. then dedicate one day when ur fresh to start with weights, maybe on a saturday or a sunday, where u do big compound lifts such as deadlift, squat, clean and jerk, snatch, etc. dont do isolation that day, jus big compound movements, shoot for 3 sets of 3-6 reps for each exercise. dont over do it, ur a boxer, not a bodybuilder. i mean thats wut i do i jus added that weight lifting routine i mentioned a few weeks ago and i feel myself getting stronger and leaner, and i aint gainin weight either.

here is my routine for reference, if it helps

MONDAY
Cardio, explosive work, hand speed, movement and agility drills, core

TUESDAY
Cardio, sparring, boxing skills, core

WEDNESDAY
Cardio, high rep weight training, core

THURSDAY
Cardio, sparring, boxing skills, core

FRIDAY
off

SATURDAY
Cardio, sparring, sparring, and more sparring, boxing skills, core

SUNDAY
heavy weight lifting, cardio

this is jus a brief rundown, there is obviously alot more stuff that i do and i always change my workout day to day so i never do the same exact workout twice in one week. if u want specifics of my routine PM me i'll send u a whole log of stuff i do each day and ****. hope this helps.

stay away from isolation exercises and stick with compound movements
