  • Does This Make Sense for Someone Who is Not Training Professionally?

    I've been trying to get back in boxing shape and looking for a good workout to try and follow since I won't necessarily have the gym or coach of old.

    I came across this workout but it seems more in line with what a full-time amateur/pro would do.

    What do you guys think? Any workout tips for someone with a busy life are welcome.

    You don't need compound lifts.

    A good, simple workout I like for beginners is one Joe Frazier wrote about in his book "Boxing Like the Pros" that has been mentioned here before.

    3 or 4 sets of 25 pushups

    3 or 4 sets of as many sit ups as you can do.

    30-35 minutes of jogging.

    Once you can do that you can then gradually add more. Things like bagwork, dips, pullups.

      Do as much as you have time for. Running and rope are great for the legs. Bags and shadow boxing are good for punching skills. Sparring is the best training for actual boxing. If you’re not in decent shape the sparring may be a waste

        While we are still in pandemic I do one of these at home 6 days a week. This will challenge you and push you.

            That link had so much nonsense in it, about lifting hindering fluidity and advocating lifting super light. Complete waste of time.

            Squats and deadlifts are essential if you want to maximise your ability to deliver power. 3-5 sets of 3-5 heavy reps (keep 1-2 left in the tank per set) once or twice a week. Overhead press and bench press can be useful too, safe rep ranges, but not as essential.

            Push ups, pull ups and dips, also incredibly important.

            1. weights wont "make you tight". 99.9% of fighters aren't relaxed enough anyway. Its purely a mental thing. Visualise having no bones and you will see the difference in fluidity.
            2. You aren't gonna 'get big' unless you 'eat big'. Its just not possible to gain significant muscle when you're watching calories and doing tons of cardio (ie boxing training). Hell, some people just don't have the genetics to get big, period. Even if they are lifting, eating and sleeping right.
