Lifting has ALWAYS been apart of a boxing gyms equipment.
We don't train like weightlifters we train like boxers!
Squats would be a very small part of weight training especially heavy squat work. Any bar with heavy weights on it would not be a large part of a session. Incline and decline bench work would be utilized along with multiple dumbell motions.
All of the weight programs would be for building strength and partnered with heavy bag work!
Dumbell arm session would have speed bag incorperated. No weights are without boxing motions.
Weight training can be a plus or a minus depending on muscle type also (genetics)
Peaked biceps are a no no in boxing, large hamstring muscle needs to be tempered.
Size with extended peaks can cause oxygen problems and when that happens recovery takres to long when in a bout!
Sooooo some will benefit some won't!
The weights are just another tool that can be used or abused.
To have a rank amateur who has no background or experience in training fighters even suggest weights seems irresponsible to me but it happens all the time here.
