squats with heavy weights good for boxing

[DaveJH]

so if i do your routine twice a week im always going to be lifting the same weight?

No, as you get stronger your 1RM will increase, so thus you use the 75-85% of your new 1RM. Your maximal strength will increase as a by-product of this training, but not in the same way it would if you focussed solely on it. Because it's only a by-product and not the sole focus of the training, your maximal strength will not reach the required levels to impair peformance as your explosive strength will increase in line with it, thus maintaining speed and power provided plyometric movements are also incorporated into the routine and skill/conditioning is not neglected.

Your maximal strength will increase

thats what i thought

Speed strength is also very important for fighters. Unfortunately, many athletes train improperly, hence sacrifice this strength quality. For example, world-renowned sport scientist Yuri Verkhoshansky and colleagues established that:

"Excessive maximum strength training can impair speed-strength and technical skill in boxers." (2)

Plyos is a much better option, for explosive strength, while body weight exercises are all you need for maximal strength.

and as i said before, if you really really need heavy weights in your program:

3 sets of 1 rep at 100% 1rm with full recovery and stretching between sets is best.

It says EXCESSIVE maximal strength.

I'll define excessive for you - Adjective:
More than is necessary, normal, or desirable; immoderate.

Having a degree of maximal strength isn't harmful. I follow the programme Ross outlines in his book, designed for combat athletes such as boxers. I think I'll take the word of a proven trainer, who's trained professional fighters for bouts than the word of a nobody on a forum.

more then necessary.

your opponent only weighs as much as you, more then that would be more then necessary, eh?

how much do you squat? how much do you weigh?

that a ross training book or a ross boxing book? post a link to the book?

not all combat athletes are ment to be built the same. wrestlers make ****ty boxers.

I weigh 165lbs and currently use one-legged squats rather than barbell or dumbell squats.

Here's a link to the book: http://www.rosstraining.com/infiniteintensity.html

Considering Ross was a boxer himself and primarily trains boxers, I think his exercises are going to be relevant for most fighters.

so you use an athlete training routine, and not a boxing routine recommended by ross?

[DaveJH]

A boxer IS an athlete?

A boxer IS an athlete?

your using a general routine instead of one created specifically for your athletic goal?

It's designed for combat athletes and uses countless examples relevant to boxing. Ross used to box himself, and primarily coaches boxers, thus, I think his work is very relevant to me.
