What i hate is all this fancy talk about trying this, and then do these box jumps, and then bash a tyre with a hammer, and then do this type of sprint and then switch it to this.
Conditioning coaches do all this and they get paid top dollar, half the time to make a fighter feel like he's getting all this wonderful new training and the fighter gets to try new stuff.
coz they did this at MMA.
I'm not being funny, and i may sound 'old hat' but, half of this **** doesn't work anyway. If you're training correctly, using the techniques boxers have always used for many years, you won't need all this fancy stuff.
I mean, MMA isn't boxing. so why adapt MMA Training in your routine?
you wanna train like an MMA fighter, go be one. there's no school like the old school.
i appreciate what conditioning coaches can do for you. but those ladders on the floor?
i find it junk, fighters in the 80's were doing fine without all this. and imo that produced the best era
Get a good balance of your bagwork, sparring, shadow boxing, skipping, roadwork and finally groundwork. You won't need much else, leave the rest to all those science mother****ers on here
Most of the things you mentioned sound like things taken from crossfit, and if they're implemented the way they do in crossfit you're definitely right that they aren't an effective way to train any elite athlete. Even professional crossfit athletes don't train using crossfit.
