Hey everyone, just recently I deveopled a new workout to help me build my power while still being able to maintain my speed and size.

The "300" workout I came up with myself and yes you can use it.
Sagefrancis "dam, thats intense.

I have done the workout out all the way through and I'm very anal about keeping good form. I feel if you don't do every exercise perfectly correct then you aren't getting everything out of all the hard work your putting in.
If you actually do that and survive... I commend you.
Survive isn't the word for finishing it lol, its more like just barley live.
I do the "300" workout in my basement, and I can just barley make it up the stairs to take a shower.

New Power Workout
Yo! what do you mean exactly
1. Does this routine create and produce power within you
2. Or is the title of the routine "Power workout"
if you answer yes to #1 can you explain with some detail?

No, I created this routine to create and produce power.
What I did when creating this workout (the non-boxing portion of it), was to combine heavy lifting exercises while still doing many cathistenic type exercises along with it. My reasoning behind it is that I feel if you do only or too much heavy lifting, will will only gain size and some physical strenght while sacrificing much of your speed and evasivness. I feel by combining the two of heavy lifting and calistenics, I can still build power while maintaining my speed. I used to doing only calistenics, combined with my boxing routine before this.
I've being keeping 100% to this new workout now for the past 3 weeks. And I've only gained a total of 2lbs muscle and I've gone down from 7% body fat to 6%, I was 149lbs when I changed up the workout.
And in the process I have noticed a significant increase in my punching power and I've lost no speed, if anything I've even increased in speed.

it looks alot like crossfit,
you cant really be lifting heavy for that long so the weight must be pretty light,
if you want a real power workout mix up endurance with plyometrics
for example try this
100 rope turns
10 clap push ups
15 medicine ball slams
20 lateral jumps over the medicine ball
rest 30 seconds and repeat 8 times
a power workout should have a mix of explosive and endurance exercises.

I heard Zelenoff does this workout without even breaking a sweat
And he does it twice a day.

Let me tell you this, you do not have 7% or 6% body fat, you have much more
A dehydrated bodybuilder will have more body fat than that, the tester you are using means somehting else
and plus you cant go from 7% to 6% that easy, you will have to take out everything you have, you also would've had to carbs away from your diet.

Well I use the Calipers and thats the reading I get after all calculations, regarless I'm still constantly taking away and adding to the power portion of the workout, I orginially posted this not as a set workout but as something I could get feedback on and see what else I might want to add.
Secondly who is Zelenoff? lol

your workout is ok but let me give you a few tips....
shorten them, a conditioning drill is supposed to be short and very intense,
dont do the same routine over and over again, your body will adapt and it will burn you out
if you want a conditioning drill for power, mix explosive plyometrics with endurance exercises
Relentless
08-27-2007, 02:42 PM
power and strength is better trained seperatley, you cannot build maximum power/strength while feeling fatigue.

I got the basis of my workout from that. My workout has those few exercises with an addition of my own exercises and mine is all done in completely different reps then the original "300".
Only thing I'm really taking credit for in that workout is the name of it.
So I'm not taking credit for anyones work, because it's my work.

The 300 "workout" is only a test, it's not a routine to be done a few days a week.
I don't see how you expect this to increase your punching power?

I know that, that is why I change it and turned it into a workout rather than a "test". I added exercises to it and almost tripled the amount of reps you do in it.

Hey Relentless, you said "dont do the same routine over and over again, your body will adapt and it will burn you out"
Well I'm trying to come up with a good full body conditioning drill for 3 minutes x 4-8 rounds 4 days a week but with the least amount of exercises possible, I came up with sledgehammer swings + full burpees for 90 seconds each with 1 minute rest between each round, do you think thats a bad routine? I ask because i feel that these 2 exercises you can never get use to as in if its getting easy just push out more reps. What do you think?
Thanks.

you will adapt to any routine, but it isn't too hard to mix up routines though,

I'm sorry but are you an idiot? Have you even looked at the workout?
I took FOUR exercises from the original "300" workout/test (what ever you wana call it) that I haden't used before in the past workouts.
Let me rephrase for you cause you seem to stupid to understand. I took those few exercises I liked from that particular workout and added them to my list of exercises and created a workout out of it.
It's like saying it's not my workout because I didn't invent doing pushups first.
Please don't talk unless you know what your talking about.

Im suprised you dont incorporate the heavybag into your power workout. After all, too gain punching power you should hit the bag hard. I recently added(a week ago) around 20 pounds of sand to my heavybag and I am already seeing increase in my power, of course I mix in deadlifts, pullups, and plyometric sledges. But I put ever muscle in my body into every punch.

Heavy Bag is done on a boxing day of training, the "Power" portion of the workout pretains to lifting and calistenics only. No boxing exercises are done on that day.
