Hello,
Very opened question / debate:
In your opinion, what would be the "best" strength and power training protocol (using bodyweight only, or potentially mace / gada) for boxing, assuming no mass / weight gain or hypertrophy is desired ?
I read plenty of information and I can not find some kind of consensus.
Most of the oldtimers simply did crazy amounts of very fast push ups, even if I guess ROM was reduced to focus on speed. A lot of sit ups / crunches (which I can understand if they are done "Hard style way", as if we were about to take a blow). This was done throughout the day.
Then, there was a lot of roadwork / skipping rope / bagwork, etc...
Currently, we often find "contrast training" approach: very heavy for a few reps, then plyo.
What do you consider being the most efficient ?
Kind regards,
Pet'
