Weight lifting and boxing?

You see? There's evidence to buttress that lower weight, higher reps builds strength, and muscle too.

Sure it does, why wouldn't it? Still doesn't mean its an effective way to build strength.

This guy weighs around 205lb in this video


And he didn't build this strength by pumping 20 rep sets.

And no - simple boxing exercises are not going to give you the same muscular endurance as implementing resistance training to improve those muscles groups that are used for "boxing movements." That's just silly to believe.

Again, though - for either of us to sit here and claim "this is the best way" is just wrong. Every body is different, and responds differently. So it's good we both have stated our opinions, so people who read can try both ways out, adn implement both lifting styles into their regime. That's what this is all about.

That's why I said it's probably best to constantly change your routine: 4-8 weeks do lighter weight, higher reps, then low reps, high weight, then somewhere in between pyramid set style... This way you target all types of muscle fibers, endurance, and growth.

But there's evidence to support both... That's all; thanks.

The first link says that high reps is good for building muscle mass and for injured people. The second link link says that high reps is good for muscle mass. Neither of them said high reps is ideal for strength, and neither of those links was a scientific study. Muscle mass isn't going to make you hit harder besides just weighing more, strength is.

There is no proof that higher reps increases strength more than low reps since it doesn't. Get over it and accept the truth and you can become stronger faster.

You don't think repeatedly doing the exact movements used for boxing builds the muscular endurance needed for boxing? If anything it is superior since it's exactly the muscular endurance you need and not just simulated with weights.

You can keep lifting like a bodybuilder all you want, you'll never hit like a powerlifter with the same form.
