All boxing legends worked out too. But it would be smart to also do exercises that increase speed, explosiveness and flexibility.<br><b>References : </b><br> No, you should do them but you have to make sure you don’t lose in speed and explosiveness.

We've all heard about how weight training develops "slow-twitch" muscle fibers, which is completely different from the fast and explosive motions you need for fighting. Specificity, a principle of conditioning, dictates that you train in as close to the endeavor that you are planning for. So heavy power-lifting is really only good for training for power-lifting. This is why boxers of all weight divisions rely more on push-ups. If you can do 100 push-ups non-stop as fast as you can, you'll be more likely to be able to throw punches non-stop for 3 minutes. Speed wins points more than power. That's not saying to NOT train for a little more power. It's just saying that you need to focus more on flow and speed than on a power alone. There's another Q/A I found where some guy broke down the 3 different types of muscle fibers and what each were geared for as far as activities. He even listed the anatomy & phys book he was using as a reference. Either way, he proved that power-lifting requires different type of muscle fibers than the more aerobic boxing moves require. Give me a sec. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgOi.nrb8CdyUGSrvgW.Morty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090311205745AAzf7YU&show=7#profile-info-wa9tXhLtaa This link will lead you to where this guy gave a great answer on this ind of thing. He was chosen as the Best Answer and has a good rating for this kind of stuff. I'd even recommend that you contact him ,since he will respond to emails and has lots of workout ideas. (I used to recommend someone else, but he does not seem to get emails, so it's hard to catch him by anything but Messenger). Anyway, stay away from power training too much, since it will slow you down. A slower fighter will have slower defenses, no matter how strong he thinks his punches are. He has to worry about the other guy's punches too.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgOi.nrb8CdyUGSrvgW.Morty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090311205745AAzf7YU&show=7#profile-info-wa9tXhLtaa No matter what your weight division, you should stay away from too much power training and heavy lifting.
