cardio matters much more than strength, so maybe you should set up a routine for that and do lifting "whenever you can" instead.

I haven't wrestled, but have a friend who does and he talks about how taxing it is, stamina-wise (not as much as boxing, though). Anyway, the team at my school runs 2-3 miles every day before practice.

The only lifts I would recommend are deadlifts, squats, bench and clean & jerks....full body, explosive....the rest should be bodyweight. and definitely, definitely do neck bridges.

All these clowns pretend they are experts in modern training methods. You will be well advised to ignore them because all they know about it is what they read on some website. Go find yourself an old fashioned boxing trainer, and he will get you in great shape. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier didn't have to worry about the semantics of cardio and conditioning. It is only the nerds on the internet who are concerned about that.

Your conditioning is great. If you want to be a good boxer I recommend fighting once a month in the amateur circuit.

try doing sprints 5 times a week and a good long run at least 3 times a week, weightlifting should be secondary to that not the other way around.

alrighty, well first i think you should vary the days on the workouts such as upperbody one day and lower body a different day, and secondly what are you trying to accomplish with your workout? such as are you trying to build muscle, or are you trying to gain muscle endurance? or tone it or what?

Yeah and why don't we just go back to the stone age. The advancements we make in science and technology are meant to be used for our improvement. Why else do we spend so much time and resources in research and discovery? If it were up to you, we'd be burning books and being amish like the "good old fashioned" people.

the difference between cardio and conditioning is simple, cardio is aerobic training, long jogs are cardio, tapping the heavy bag for 8 or 9 rounds is cardio, conditioning is intense usually done in intervals, conditioning targets both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, conditioning is basically high intense workouts where you strive to perform a workout as hard and quick as possible, a workout which makes you breath heavily after you are done.

Thanks relentless for the info, so for example my dads got an old tyre in his garage which i lie flat and then flip it over jump over it jump back and then flip it again until the end of the garage. I do this as quick as possible as hard as poss, so is this an example of a conditioning exercise? See my workout is pretty varied and i know i unclude a fair bit lol i just dont know all the names and jargon.

Aerobic - slow-mid paced, long distance cardio.
Anaerobic - fast paced cardio in short amount of time.

yeah thats great but try do it in boxing rounds, e.g set yourself 2 mins and see how many times you can do this then repeat for 3 or 4 rounds.
