Since the Moore vs Jones thread has become a debate about weightlifting, well at least some of it, I thought it would be a good idea to just start a forum about training/boxing exercises. I usually go on another board for that but a lot of the posters are douches. Since it seems like many of the posters have experience in it and enjoy discussing it, why don't we? Thoughts?

Onto the "weight" points, I think weights are one of the WORSE things a boxer could use. Sure, Mosley and Holyfield uses them amongst other boxers but Shane I don't believe in his return tour to 147 has implemented them. I'm pretty certain he didn't use them in his last camp as his ability to throw combinations seemed to MAGICALLY come back.

I'm all for innovation in the training techniques and think weights do have "SOME" purpose but not HEAVY lifting that the average person that works out partakes in.

I believe if a boxer incorporates a weight training program, they should immediately box/hit the bag/shadow after lifting. It's my opinion that it's the elasticity of your muscles that generate speed and power not merely the "horse power" or "size" within it.
