How often you lift weights?

[The Iron Man]

this is a myth and will do little for a fighter. boxers shoud lift heavy weights for low reps as that is mainly for strength without mass gains. again, gaining mass and gettin bulky is mostly all diet, so there is no need to worry about getting to big. lift heavy weights with low reps, stretch good, and dont neglect hand speed drills, and weights will greatly benefit u...

Just going on what ive been told man, but doing few reps on a Heavyweight will increase strength and so Muscle mass, and he didnt wanna gain mass (Muuscle weighs more than fat). But im sure many people have different ideas on weight lifting

And your point is?

Im answering the question. "How often you lift weights?" Is that wrong? Or are you crying for no apparent reason?

Nearly all pro boxers use weights apart from the ones being trained by manny steward and his kronk fighters. Even floyd uses them and look how fast he is.
I personally try to use weights around 4 times a week and each day training a different body part ie. arms one day then shoulders and then chest on another. I find it really helps my power and i've gained some decent size as well which is a plus.

You know nearly all pro fighters?

I've been using a weighted-ab/chest machine and some other light-weight machine type stuff. I've been doing sets of db presses during the week, some db shrugs, maybe a few other things.. I haven't benched a whole bar in a while and, eh, don't plan to.

wat exercises do you recommend for explosivness?

I'm pretty sure you gain explosiveness through lifting weights by pushing the weight in an explosive manner, so with bench press, you push the weight up as fast and explosive as possible.

Pylometric exercises like clap pushups will also develop explosiveness.
