    Hard question to answer. It depends on the individual fighter. How big he is, does he have weight problems, moving up or down in weight, etc., etc.

    It also depends on what training cycle you're in. Close to a fight, you don't do weights 3 times a week, whereas if it's foundation training, you might do that.

    It also depends on how experienced you are, both as a boxer, and with regards to weight training. Some things might be more important at certain stages in your development.

    My fighters have all gone down one weightclass since we started using weights with them. Not because of the weight training, but none the less it was possible, so the whole "you'll get big and slow doing heavy weights"-thing is out the window right there.

    During their fight pause periods, they do weights 3 times a week, and during regular "season" training, they do it 2 times for the startup training, and once we get closer to the fights, they usually only do it once a week, mostly for maintaining what they've gained during the other periods. During this phase, we do a lot of explosive work with med ball throws, dumbell punching, and weighted cuffs on the gloves for bag work (obviously not for ALL the bag work, but for certain workouts).

    YOur question about muscle repair vs. calisthenics is where your experience as a fighter and with lifting comes in. This depends on how much of a work capacity you've built up over the years. So, the newer you are to either kind of traning, the more recovery time you'll need between workouts.

    Lifts: I'd recommend squats, lunges, one legged squats, glute-ham raises, deadlifts, narrow bench press, one armed dumbell press (better than bench press), military press, upright neider press, powercleans, powersnatch, pullups, dips, FULL CONTACT TWIST etc. etc....

              if you hold he bar in a bicep curl, but with the over hand grip shown there, then rep up to the neck, then up again to the fully exstension of the arms then back down, this is a clean and press, much more effective!

                I go to the gym in the morning and work on the bags, etc. Go to lift in the afternoon. This is the reverse of what it should be. Should do boxing stuff in the afternoon to loosen up after weights and/or running in the morning. But I get up for work at 4 AM and I've got to go to 2 different gyms to work out and don't want to drive all over town. I was in the boxing gym for 1 1/2 hours today.

                Anyway, I work one muscle group per day each week. Today, for instance, it was the deltoids, 3 exercises: isolateral press (9 sets, 9 - 12 reps per set, 30 seconds between sets), dumbell press (9 sets, 9 - 12 reps per set, 30 seconds between sets), and isolateral deltoid machine (9 - 12 reps on each side, continuously alternating arms, and dropping the weight 10 pounds each time I fall below 9 reps, 8 sets total).

                For legs, I did one hamstring curl exercise (9 sets, 9 - 12 reps, 30 seconds in between sets). Then I did a rotator cuff exercise on the pec deck (4 sets continuous lifting increasing 10 pounds each set as I warmed up - not too heavy). Then I stretched on the adductor machine for 20 minutes.

                I do whatever exercises won't risk injury. I use challenging weights, but not so much that I am risking tearing or dislocating something. I also get at least 100 grams of protein a day.

                    What is your goal for your weight training? That routine looks pretty useless...
