Does Mike lift or just do push-ups and "road work"?

Does Mike lift or just do push-ups and "road work"?

It's always been hard to get real info on what he actually does with weights, but lifting now, and always lifted. His current training looks something like this according to ESPN -

"Tyson said he's been doing two hours of cardio, then lifting weights before starting his boxing work for around half an hour."

Sadly, they didn't say how many days a week.

Edit - More :

"I’ve been working out, I’ve been trying to get in the ring, I think I’m going to box some exhibitions and get in shape," Tyson said in an Instagram Live session with rapper T.I. "I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four-round exhibitions for some charities and stuff.

"I do two hours on cardio, I do the bike and the treadmill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 300, 250 reps. "Then I start my day with the boxing thing, I go in there and hit the mitts, 30 minutes, 25 minutes, start getting in better condition."

From what I’ve seen, most boxers  don’t get crazy with the weights. There’s too much else to do to be sore for 2 or 3 days after heavy squats or benches.

Back in the day I used to go to an old-school boxing gym. It was basically bodyweight calisthenics, heavy bag, speed bag,  roadwork, sparing.

Tyson is quietly becoming the poster boy for vegans. He claims to have lost #100 over the course of 3 years doing it.

It's a starvation/malnourishment diet of course people lose weight on it if they were eating junk food previously. Tyson is a steroid drug addict, his entire persona and athleticism comes from his drug abuse and if he insists on remaining vegan for his comeback it could end very badly for him as we have seen with other now ex-vegan athletes who were featured in Game Changers but who suffered various illnesses and injury setbacks as a result of vegan malnourishment.

If they do any weight training it's usually shoulder presses or lat pulldowns.  They avoid benches and any other chest work besides pushups as big pecs impede punching ability.

An article on how Tyson trained for boxing.  https://www.brawlbros.com/mike-tyson-workout/ (https://www.brawlbros.com/mike-tyson-workout/)

According to Tyson he only started lifting after he was in prison

"Here is a direct quote when asked about lifting weights:

“No way. Only hitting the bag and boxing all the time. I did lift later in my career when I came back in ’95. I started lifting weights because that’s what everybody was doing. Everybody had strength-and- conditioning guys at that time.”"

He's already had neck surgery, taking punches to the head are definitely going to test the strength of those steel pins keeping his neck together.

He should meet up with Ronnie Coleman and share training ideas.

It’s much, MUCH worse.

This is some brutal shit. And not in a good way.

Tyson looks like a literal retard, his posse like a crew of spazzes and Jericho like the failed rock star he is.

When Mike was hitting his double-biceps and exhaling his halitosis into Chris’ face I almost couldn’t take the cheese.
