ricky hatton strenth training routine

[MikeT86]

I found in football that training to get an explosive first step worked best off of a mixture of power lifting for my legs (squats leg presses calf presses extensions) at High weight low rep and speed, mixed with a bit of Plyometrics. Building the strength that way helped because my body also got more used to the most powerful way to push because my form was always perfect. Once I got to the strength I wanted I maintained the weight but kept adding reps to it till I got to three sets of 12.

No Squats= Automatic Fail

A lot of MMA meat heads do it completely wrong though and use it as an excuse to try and put on muscle and get bigger but deep down inside they know it hinders their performance.

What the *** does a boxers training routine have to do with MMA. You hate even when there is nothing to hate about.

No Squats= Automatic Fail

no, no squats = 6 miles of road work a day with sprints instead

light weights are good when used at high speeds for high reps

heavy weights are used when they are close to 1 rep max and done explosively

My post from another thread:

hey so what kind of training regime do u follow?

they say you should change up your routine every month or two, so how should one go about doing that?

also, where do plyometrics come into play?

thanks a lot!

Most of the time I use a powerlifting 5x5 routine. Which is just 5 sets with 5 reps for your exercises. This can be done in splits like Day 1: Chest and Shoulder; Day 2: Arms and Back; Day 3: Lower Body. Or something to that effect, I personally like doing full body exercises when I lift. You don't have to change up your routine but you should employ different exercises.

As for plyometrics, these help increase your physical abilities like jumping higher, etc great stuff to do.

I already argued about this with you to death, think about it this way; If you put on ankle weights that way like 10lbs and walked in them the whole day (which I do NOT recommend), your feet will feel light as feather/stronger no matter how slow you walk (a shuffle is not a walk), accompanied with a temporary but large increase in foot speed not a slow down of it.

Too bad there aren't any weight-lifting excercises for the chin, lol. All that lifting and all he showed was getting ktfo.

10 lbs is not heavy.

I do 10 on each leg 10 on each arm and 20 on my back once every couple weeks in order to cut back on some pounds and i see my non weighted times increase by up to a min more a mile for the week after.

say 50 lb on each leg and sprint for like 10 sets of 100 meters every day for a week and i might notice a drop in my average mile time.

actually my opinion is that i wouldnt notice a change in speed only that hills would be easier and i could reach my top speed in a shorter distance, but im not going to argue about that again its just my opinion.

Well a few things, my point was made, you don't have to be going as fast as possible for lifting to gain a speed benefit. Also 10bs on your arms and legs? Its not even recommended to do less, you're gonna end up ruining your joints and ligaments. My friend's father used to do stuff like that ended up messing up his knees pretty bad, gave me some incentive to research some information before I used em. Idk if you're lying about this stuff or not because 50lbs per leg is WAYYYYY to much, its running with several bricks attached to your legs, you wouldn't even be able to do a sprint with 100lbs extra weight, and you are pretty muich guaranteed an injury.
