Train Movements Not Muscles” – replicate boxing techniques where possible Bench Press can decrease shoulder mobility – keep it light & fast, or do a single set Boxing may cause tight hip flexors & shoulders – stretch these When replicating boxing movements – keep the weight light – so the movement-pattern is not disrupted Periodise your program. For example, increase cardio & H.I.I.T. but reduce weightlifting leading up to a fight Consider using the “Add-On Technique” – warm up & complete 1 to 3 sets of a specific exercise before a technical boxing session (or after) The best way to build boxing-fitness is to box – spar, hit pads, hit a bag Build a ‘base’ of strength & fitness utilising running, skipping & weightlifting Use bands to build explosive counter movements – e.g. pull a band with your right hand to initiate the start of a left hook Convert this base of fitness into functional fitness with specific boxing movements e.g. landmine punches, band-punches, bag-work, pad-work (with a weighted vest etc)
