Hey /fit/, im a fighter (boxing)
Is lifting once a week going to be enough to see teh gains?
lift 1 day a week
box 4 days a week
spar 1 day a week
rest 1 day a week
dont know where i can fit in more than one lifting day, and dont want to fuck with my bagwork, sparring and recovery (absolutely essential)
what do you reckon strongboys?
Yes and no.
One day of strength work is better than none, and I'll take your word on time and recovery.
If you have one day I would do;
Push press 5x3
Squat 5x3
Clean high pull 8-10x2-3
If you want to move up a weightclass then you can scale back some stuff to make room for 3 sessions a day.
I currently do 6x6 of:
Deadlift
Squat
Flat bench (bar)
Incline bench (dumbell)
Push press
Lat pulldown
Seated row
Shrugs
then eat everything in sight and sleep for my week of training
I would like to throw in another day of lifting later in the week, but i need to be fresh for sparring on friday (most important day of training overall)

Stfu, if you were a true "fighter" or "boxer" you wouldn't fucking ask us what to lift, ask your fucking coach, dipshit.
P.S. Unless you have no clue what you're fucking doing, lifting will be detrimental when it comes to making weight if you have a certain weight class already

Why is boxing culture do autistic? It seems like every time a boxer poets online he sounds like a short angry man who has a small penis.

Are your MT sparring partners, only doing box to help you? Because it makes sense that they may lack some hand trainning, considering that IT'S SOME DIFFERENT SHIT. Spar under MT rules and they will murder-lowkick you
Geez, dont be an egoistic douchebag and have some respect for those guys
