Currently I do a weights work out twice a week, starting with squats, dead lift and bench, for 3 set of 5 on as much as i can handle, then i do some leg press, dips, lat pull downs and rows. I vary my shoulder workouts some times I'll do the press, another time ill do lateral raises. Then trices and biceps, and some hanging leg raises. Quite a lot but I only do it twice as week, and I'm making good gains in all major lifts.

Just one lift per day?Yes. It keeps me fresh for the next days lift,dramatically reduces recovery time, and increases my strength very rapidly and reduces my recovery time significantly.
I call it training as working out means youve exhausted your muscles and CNS.:good

I'm not a very experienced lifter, but that just seems like it wouldn't really do anything for...anyone haha. No offense, actually, I'm rather curious. Never really heard of a routine like that. Do you mind if I ask height/weight/age and how long you've been doing that for? Also, what do you bench/squat? You can PM me if you want.Sure. I am 5foot 8.25inches at 153lbs
I can one legged squat a max of 70lbs
I can do 2 one armed pushups w 45 pounds in my backpack and using the perfect pushup device
I chin and pull 7 reps with a 45lb plate attached around my waist.
I deadlift 320lbs for 2 reps. Dont have any more weight for a one rep max yet.
I have been doing this routine for 6 months and i have never been stronger or more cut.
I researched Pavel Tsatsouline and his grease the groove method along with great articles at t-nation.com and Gymjones.com.
I do work 10-14 hour days and getting my cardio and strength training in has forced me to think outside the box a little and research (obssesivley) the latest and greatest in strength devolopment.
Hope this answers most of your questions and i can answer more if you wish.:good

I used to do Westside Barbell - which is 4 days, 2 upper 2 lower, one dynamic (explosive - lots of bands) and one maximal effort.
Now I do a 2 day westside split.
Which is basically dynamic lower body with maximum effort upper body, and vica versa, with various stuff.

Here is an example of some of my strength/agility routine for combat sports. I also would include weight lifting as well as other exercises.

On this one disregard and speed through the little promo (it was for a gladiators try out thing), but there are some other great exercises like full body wheel outs that I really like in this video.

Very good method,btw. Do you also incorporate the "speed training" days that are advocated? How does your nutritional supplementation look?:thumbsup
MrSmall
02-20-2008, 08:42 AM
I don't take any supplements, the main thing you need when training with Westside is CNS recovery, which is sleep.
The speed days are excellent, and have a LOT of carryover into boxing, for me at least. I use resistance bands a lot on most days, they are excellent at getting your body used to accelerating throughout a movement, not just at the starting point.
The reps are low enough to not give you that muscle soreness in the main exercises, and the supplemental exercises after a few sessions you don't get sore from much. I have a protein shake here and there, but just have a good diet (no 6 meals a day of protein/fat - just your normal 3 good meals a day)

Yea. I'm 5"8, 160 pounds, currently only doing cardio because my shoulder is strained.
I do all calisthenics(bodyweight) and if i'm particularly powerful in a lift I slap on a weight vest.
A typical workout day for me would be
Skipping 10-15 minutes ( just as a warm up )
slight stretching. Nothing too lengthy.
Running 5 miles in under an hour. Occasionally 30-40 minutes. I tend to focus more on intensity then actual length as 12 rounds x 3 = only 36 minutes. So you do the math.
Then after running I'll perform a very adament and thorough stretch. Approximately 5-10 minutes in length.
After that I will do heavy bag work for abit.
The heavy bag must weigh 100 pounds or over. I prefer 125 and 150 however if tapped, I will settle for 100.
I prefer to do five 3 minute rounds on the bag but for different purposes. I take a resting period of 30-45 seconds in between.
1) 4 rounds (As long as I can go per round, i.e 1 minute) of speed punching/burn outs.
2) 4 rounds (3 minutes per round) of strict power punching.
3) 5 rounds (3 minutes per round) of sticking and moving.
Finally, when I am finished. I'll spar.
1 round agressor
1 round freestyle
1 round defending
1 round freestyle
Those sparring rounds are not in order. We mix it up, so that way I am forced to adapt. All sparring/bagwork is performed with 16 ounce gloves for the record.

Yea, but they are all forms of strength training.
The heavy bag, and sparring, believe or not, are forms of strength training in all technicality as they work the muscles in a resistance type format.
I just figured I'd give as much depth as I possibley could so people can see how the regimen worked for me, or a person of my dimensions.
Basically, I left no questions to be asked. Sorry if it was too long of a read.

Hmm, I don't think you should work too much weights if you are just boxing, other than doing heavy legwork, which really helps with power.
You want to get strong, do assloads of dips, pushups and pullups. Young hypnotic, being a highschool wrestler who is into combat sports probably has some good insight as to strength training to aid in power.. I think some light weight dips, like dips with something like a 25-35 lb plate, and working towards things like 6 sets of 15-20 pull ups would do wonders for the type of strength a boxer might want without putting on weight. I went through a phase when I was younger.. I ate almost nothing but tuna for protein (bad for you due to the mercury) a salad every now and then, and cheerios. I was working on pull ups every day, on top of a normal workout routine (USMC we do loads of pull ups) and I got to a point where I was busting out 20-30 reps easy any way I could place my hands. I was gripping over, under, and over behind the neck in consecutive reps.. 2 sets of each. I felt stronger then, than any point in my life.. I'm stronger, as in I can push more weight now, but I don't have the same type of strength I did back then.
Dips get to be like pushups, which is why I suggest doing weighted dips, just be careful with form or you can hurt your rotator cuffs.
Legs? They make you powerful, make you feel powerful, and other people will feel your power if you have strong legs. Lunges with dumbells, doing barbell squats and presses should be done twice a week.. One week, the meat of your reps should be squats, the next week, the meat of your reps should be leg presses. Dead lifts are great as well for the hammies. I would focus more on finding a weight where you struggle with 3 sets of 10-12 reps, than trying to find a max weight, unless you are into MMA or wrestling, where you need that explosiveness.

Good source of carbs.
I did the pull ups like that because pull ups are part of our physical fitness test.. You max out on pull ups at 20 for a perfect score, thus that was my goal. 10-12 is just too easy.
You can gain mass, thats not the same as getting strong.
I knew guys that were around 170 lbs bench pressing well over 300 lbs. Still able to run 3 miles in under 18 mins, and able to reps of well over 20 pull ups. Its one thing to have a lot of muscular endurance, one thing to have a lot of size.. But, another thing to have muscular endurance and good strength.

Yeah.. I went to a high school that didn't have a wrestling team.. When I get in the Marines, there were a lot of guys that were high school wrestlers.. I used to think I was pretty strong until I saw these guys doing 20 pull ups with little effort, while I was busting my ass to get 20.
The majority of the ones I talked to said that in high school, the goal to work for was 40 reps! :admin
I thought they were fucking around, but that seemed to be pretty normal for wrestlers trying to make weight and maintain strength.

Not light as in im feeling no burn in muscles. Im only 150 pounds so I dont lift very high just enough to build my endurance and maintain solid strength.:good

:patsch Lift heavy and explosive with no more than five reps. Stay fresh as possible before during and after workout.
DO NOT lift for muscular endurance as that part should be done during mitt,heavybag,and sparring sessions.
.
for me personally when I hit my heavybag it feels more like a straight strength workout rather than an endurance one. My bag weighs around 115, so that might have a little to do with it.

I changed my exercise routine many times.
Now all I do is shadowbox 3 minutes per round of up to 12 rounds if possible everyday if possible. In shadowboxing, i include ducking, slipping, bob & weave, throwing all punches and defense. This is the best workout I have.
I would prefer light sparring for many rounds and focus mitts but I don't have a partner.

Yeah, but my problem is overloading my workout with too much strength training, injuries happen that way. The days im off power workouts, and instead working on endurance my workouts suddenly become straight power again. I may need to get a lighter bag strickly for endurance?? Just trying to find time to work deadlifts, pullups, sledgehammer against the tire hits, and heavybag hitting into my training, its tough.
Joey youre pretty much the new advisor in this forum now, huh:lol:, never saw your posts a month ago, now youre everywhere.
