Other/Mixed Program Recommendations for Boxing

[Mcgrathbells]

Hello,

I recently downloaded the new app and see a variety of different program options that look fun, but am looking to 1) increase my strength and 2) have that strength be directly applicable to my (kick)boxing performance.

My workout limitations are that I have only one kettlebell of 16kg, 24kg, 32kg, and 40kg.

Any thoughtful recommendations for the simple and complex, as well as # of training days is appreciated. I currently train about 5-6 days a week.

A+A Snatches 4 times a week.
Jogging 3+ times a week.
Use your boxing as your HIIT.

Done.

The S&S combo of swings and TGU's was originated by a boxing coach. At least one high-level boxer has had great results with Q&D.

Thank you so much! Do you know who the boxing coach and high level boxer were?

Hello,
Just a thought ( perhaps bucking the trend here) use that extra time to pratice more kickboxing. Also focus on mobility and stretching for recovery / injury prevention. And don’t neglect cardio.If you feel weights/ strength are a attribute that is lacking for your weight , perhaps a few days a week of barbell basics or easy strength type . Just my 2 cents .

Steve Baccari if I remember correctly.

Hello,

@Mcgrathbells
Maybe the program underlined below can be worth trying. He is based on StrongEndurance.

The creative and research-driven programming by Pavel Tsatsouline and Fabio Zonin that prepared me for a boxing comeback—even while protecting a broken thumb.

Usually, A+A and pure aerobic training are a great combination. It will give you the ability to recover very fast between rounds or during non-fighting sequence (positioning, etc....), but also to perform short bouts of effort during fighting sequences.

Kind regards,

Pet'

Steve Baccari for S&S. I don't recall the boxer's name, but she is on the cover of Q&D, and featured throughout.
