If You are around 135-140 then heavy weights are not good for you.Some heavy weights boxer use to lift weights like tyson but not lighter weight boxer.You can use lighter weights and higher reps.Weights will definately slow you down,bulk you up and u'll need to spend more energy which means low stamina.I don't understand why people go for weights in boxing.For Punching power??? then why there is Heavybag.For ****??power and speed comes from long relaxed muscles not from those knotty short muscles..look at Roy Jones jr,Muhammad ali,sugar ray robinson and many great boxers they never touched weights in their life..Why??are they fools??you think they are not strong enough??..use Punching bag for power and CALISTHANICS(bodyweight) exercises for strength..i know this will take much more time in showing you results you need work so hard spend more time But weighs are just a short cut for building strength for boxing..Remember there are no Shortcuts in boxing...Work on speed man SPEED KILLs!! the more faster your punch is the more powerfull your punch will be..So don't let weights slow you down.....I Hope You Got me....

Your routine seems decent as long as you don't become too stiff.

If you're trying to be a pro boxer and you weigh less than 200lbs try to do limited weight lifting because doing weights bulks you up which will force you to fight in higher weight classes.

If you just want to be able to defend yourself than do as many weights as you want as long as you don't become muscle-strained which are the people who basically can't touch their elbows together because of how buff they are.



Bob Sapp is a recent fighter who is muscle-strained.

Yes, of course. Weight training is good for any sport. The thing is, you gotta lift according to the needs of your particular sport, in this case, boxing. For instance, you don't need to lift too heavy for boxing, just moderate weight and higher reps. For good measure, consult fitness experts on this.

No. Weights will make you slow, messed up stamina, and you'll need more oxygen which will cause you to gas. The only thing it gets is strenght. Weights and boxing don't mix unless it's below 15 lbs.

Providing u don't get too bulky, weightlifting is good. The stronger u r, the more power you'll have

Old school says no..................ropes, bands, calestenics are all better.............for flexibility.
