weight training in boxing

[Young Money]

Thought I'd put in my 2 cents:



I've been trying this and find it to be beneficial.

The reps are kept low and I have been able to box the day after lifting.

There is a chance Hatton used such a schedule when he was moving up to Welterweight, as it has been proved that such a rep/set scheme will promote more mass gains than a low rep/heavy weight programme.

Some of the exercises are a bit redundant for boxing in my opinion, but if it works well for you and you're winning your fights then it's not overly important.

That's too much training with weights. Instead of 3 days a week doing that you should be sparring, shadow, bag work, skipping, road work. That aint gonna help you box. Plus that is not a strength program, that's a hypertrophy program. If you do the research, hypertrophy has been proved to successful increase muscle mass but has a servere affect of strength and performance.

I also believe you was misquoted about Hatton's strength training, as you proberly searched some random internet bollocks that someone made up, this is a direct quote from the man himself from http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/krisgethin42.htm

[ RH ] I train with heavy weights and lower reps.

He goes by my philosiphy. Low reps are 1-7 reps not your 3x10 rep program...I'm only saying this to help you!

[ KG ] Does Kerry train you within the 8-12 rep range?

[ RH ] Yeah, reps of ten. Because we only train one body part at a time, and it is heavy and explosive, it only lasts for about twenty minutes. It's intense.

''He lifts weights to failure and we never go less than eight reps to limit the risk of injury''.

I don't do the 10 rep stuff, that's another poster. I stick to Ross' stuff or variations of it. Plus if I was going to emulate another fighters routine, no disrespect to him as he's a top fighter, it wouldn't be Hatton's.

Im not emulating his routine. I couldnt care less if Hatton did this or not. I asked Kerry Kayes for advice on weights for boxing and this is what he gave me.

really though the fact is that hatton was **** against mayweather, and i woudlnt reccomend his routine to anyone.

your best best is light weights with high reps, body weight exercise working twords higher reps (not more difficulty like one arm push ups), and low weight plyos like medicine ball slams, sledge/tire slams, and jump squats.

this will ensure you dont exhause your self or injur you muscles so you cant train or arnt able to train at 100% in the gym. as well you wont get the slowness and lack of coordination that comes with overly training your fast twitch fibers.

Kerry Kayes was a bodybuilder...he in fact has no experience in boxing strength and conditioning. He also put Hatton on a diet of 70% suppliments. That's no good for anyone. The body needs natural food. That is a bodybuilding program. Google strength training and google bodybuilder and see what matches yours. Hypertrophy training will make you week. I don't even train the deadlift, I'm 11st 5lbs and can deadlift 200 + kg.
