squats with heavy weights good for boxing

see how ross's godfrey got destroyed for 10 rounds by roach's kayode?

Doesn't mean Godfrey was unfit or out of shape, simply means his tactics were wrong or he wasn't on Kayode's level. Neither of these have anything to do with Ross, as he's a fitness coach, not a general trainer. Now you're just being pedantic - carry on doing your thing, you keep doing yours. Just out of interest, are you training to fight or do you just box for fitness?

though it could mean he had a ****ty fitness trainer.

“The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.”

An overly simplistic view - I've no doubt I could get fit enough to fight a world title fight, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't win. You ignored my question; are you training to fight or just doing it for fitness?

Real power comes from the legs...and nothing builds leg power more than heavy squats...and yes boxers do them and don't believe otherwise. I remember back when George Forman was commentating on HBO saying how Shane Mosely can squat 500 lbs...which is remarkable for his size and exceptional for even a pretty big guy.

i remember reading about a gymanst who had been doing gymnastics for years, and he went to the gym one day in high school or something and was able to dead lift 500 lbs with out ever having lifted weights before.

it really is amazing how training hard in your sport can make you incredibly strong in other ways.

Sorry it was only 400 lbs that he deadlifted

How strong is it possible to become with bodyweight exercises? Amazingly strong. In fact I would go so far as to say, done correctly, far stronger than someone who had trained for the same amount of time with free weights. Want some concrete examples? One of my former students, JJ Gregory (1993 Junior National Champion on the Still Rings) developed such a high degree of strength from my bodyweight conditioning program that on his first day in his high school weightlifting class he deadlifted 400lbs., and this at the scale breaking weight of 135 lbs. and a height of 5'3".

Funny thing, in high school I had a weight training class with all of the football players and guys like that. I was fighting at 139lbs at that time. I max squatted 340lbs in that class, flipped all of the football players out as I maxed more than most of them. The football coach (who taught the class) came over after asking me if he was going to need to test me. I replied that I already tested and maxed 340lbs. The coach shook his head, "I know what you maxed, am I going to have to test you"? From boxing and running I believe it made my legs very strong. When I was repping I would guess that I'd have 150-175lbs.

You want to build your legs strong? Duck walk around the gym for a few rounds......................Rockin'

heres another good story from earlier in the thread with the same idea.
