Theres weight training and then theres Findley, who was pretty much a bodybuilder.
Every boxer does "weight training". You need it train and strengthen your muscles.
Guerrero's opponent was pretty much a body builder, huge thick arms and body. When you carry that much weight, you become slower, your arms are heavier and all that muscles is draining your oxygen.

you dont want big muscles in boxing,they slow you down and zap your energy..cause big muscles require alot of oxygen..if you lift. lift light weights doing high reps

there's specific exercises with weights that are excellent for boxing-
deadlift, jump squats, turkish getups, good mornings, face pulls (especially), rows, tons of stuff with cables are a few.
you don't want to build mass as much as explosiveness with weight training in boxing. never maxing out weight wise, maybe repwise.

boxing bodybuilder here.. the bigger i get, the more people i can **** up. thats what weight classes are for. if i were to cut down i'd still be strong for my weight and strength and power go hand in hand.. power is important, if you don't respect a guy's power you just walk thru him
there's no reason why you can't be strong and still have cardio/speedLast edited by SkyKng; 02-19-2011, 12:24 PM.
