I was an ameteur boxer for 4 years, and first of all let me say the requirments that you mentioned should be easy to do if you are in shape.  If you cant meet the requirments id say your not ready to fight.  As for weight training, how much do you weigh? Boxing is all about weight classes and you want to be at the top of yours not at the bottom of another. If you weigh anymore then you should its just harder to stay conditioned. Unless your planning to move up in weight class or your just really fat i wouldnt train for more muscle, train more just to tone up and condition.  As for when to train it all depends on how hard your training and how fast you recover, you dont want to be in the ring for example with burnt out legs or shoulders, you wont be able to stand strong or hold your arms up. I think i pretty much answered everything, if theres anything else let me know.

i would try to incorporate 2 days of rest because boxing is alot of cardio so really your doing 6 days a week of cardio.  and remember weight train for condition not for size.
Good Luck,

One of the few things I wanna mention..

Don't start training benchpress, dumbbell presses and shit for the chest.

No chest training except those push ups IMO.

Focus training on the shoulders. Standing DB presses, will give you good training of the stabilizing muscles as well.

Back training is important, try DB rows or one handed seated pulley rows.

Make an effort to learn how to do cleans. Then start incorporating them as part of your leg and back routine. clean&jerks will work most of the body, give you strong legs, yet you'll stay explosive, imperative when being a boxer.

If there's any lifter/coach who knows Olympic Lifting in your gym, I recommend asking him for suggestions on how to approach learning the snatch and the CJ. Without this expertise, I think you should stick to only trying the CJ.

In a nutshell: Leg strength, shoulder strength and ab and back strength. Those are the areas to train when being a boxer IMO.

Use whole body routines for 2 or at the max three times a week.  The prior post about power clean and jerks is dead on.  You need to explode.  Boxing is exhausting.  Anyone who has boxed will never question the need for running.  Never lift to the point where it comprimises you're boxing training.

Hi and thank for helping :)

What kind of exercice train the 'explosiness" that i should get in boxing?

How could i know the best bodyweight for me, because i don't know in which division to go, and i was planning to cut the best i can to gain mass after and cut again and etc....a good idea or not?

Thank again!!!

well, if your weighing in at the bottom of your class, cut weight and go down a class, the one good thing about amateur boxing is that they usually pair you up with someone in the same experience level. You cant really decide where to go until your in prime shape and weigh yourself in. One thing i am gunna say is dont fight until your READY to fight, youll know when your ready, and dont get discouraged if and when you lose.

How many time it take you to be able to start amateur competition, and how old were you at this time? Because i want to start but i don't know if i'm going to fast.

thank you :)

i trained for a while, a year maybe, i think i was 16 or 17 in my first fight. Im sure your coach will have an idea of when you ready, if your doing good in your spaaring matches.

Stick to what your trainer says. If you want to be a better boxer you should focus more on drills and technique than weight training.

When I was fighting I was lifting every other day and this was my routine.

3x15  Bodyweight Dips
3x15  Shoulder Width Chins
3x6-10 Military Press
3x6-10 DB Curls
3x15 Explosive Squats
3x15 Explosive Leg Presses

I was on this routine with slight variations on it from about age 13-16.  I had to quit fighting after I turned 16 because my grades started to slip because I was obsessed with it, at least that's how my parents felt about it.

Be sure to add explosive tricep excercises, the triceps are the arm extender-muscles and therefore important in boxing and other martial arts.

I always ate lots of steak, eggs, milk, pork chops, and fruit.  I'm not a big believer in lots of excess sugar.

I had seen a strength routine supposedly followed by Tyson in which he did ten cicuits of the following 3 days a week:

1) Pullups 20 reps
2) Dips 40 reps
3) Shrugs (70lbs) 50 reps
4) Pushups 50reps
5) Situps 200 reps

Pretty typical of most boxers I train with except for the shrugs which he said gave him extra power in his punches. I would also add leg and calf work for stability and balance which is most important in the ring.

That is one of his older routines...he also did ALOT of neck training. i have some very good boxing articles at home about Cus and Tyson's training programs. i'll try to post them up later.

you better start training harder and get some advice from some boxing trainers. Boxing traning is very different than bodybuilding. You need to go down to a boxing gym and workout there for awhile and have the boxing trainers help you. You better be a good boxer because if your competing at 160 pounds..you are gonna have some tough guys in the ring. Remember if your not training hard and being consistent..your oppenent is, so be ready!
