Peak Performance for Boxing

Peak Performance for Boxing





Specific conditioning for boxers


2 different programs according to the timing of preparation :

- Pre-training camp
- In training camp
Each program will be targeted according to the specific needs and priorities of the fighter. Here are the different components of training we may focus on :
Conditioning and strength program in training camp: all exercises and workouts are very specific and target a full transfer for boxing punching power and speed. For this purpose it's very important I work closely with the boxing trainer.
Main goals :
1- Cardiovascular conditioning, high intensity endurance
2- Maintain conditioning and strength-power, then peaking.
3- Recovery sessions.
4- Body composition testing.
5- Nutrition.
Conditioning program before training camp: the purpose is
getting in competitive shape (strength, conditioning, body weight) so the boxer will focus mainly on boxing training (skills, sparring…) during the training camp.
- Cardiovascular training program for high intensity endurance
- Conditioning program with a focus on weight loss (before training camp)
- Strength program before training camp: total body functional strength
gym 
- Muscle mass gain through a specific protocol training program, so the boxer do not lose his speed, velocity and explosiveness.
- Week-end training camps: total body conditioning, prior to main training camp.
Cardiovascular program, analysis and evaluation with heart rate recorded (anaerobic threshold, VO2max, speed of recovery).
Cardiovascular workout feedback : heart rate is recorded during workout to evaluate the physiological impact of this workout. This information allow to know if there is fatigue, a risk of overtraining, if the training load is right, if it is necessary to push more, if the cardiovascular specific endurance needs to be improved.
I focus a lot on :
1- speed of recovery (heart rate has to drop as fast as possible in 1 minute) : the fighter will be able to keep a high energy level round after round.
2- anaerobic threshold improvement: high intensity training (running, circuit training) minimizing the lactic production ; this is synonym of high cardiovascular conditioning and the fighter will not get tired in the last rounds, he will keep physical power and mental focus (lucidity).
 curve
« All the progress in your training (skills, strength, conditioning…), happens during the recovery periods between the workouts, it never happens during the workout. »
Body composition testing by ultrasound: accurately measure fat thickness and calculate body fat % and weight distribution. Goal for boxers: track fat loss and muscle gain (or loss) during training; this allow to adjust training loads and nutrition.

Abs Workout for Conditioning

Most people are motivated to work out their abs in order to get a good looking, flat abs and even ripped abs. If you have ever tried to achieve these goals you know how difficult it is.
The big paradox today is it's very easy to get a ton of information about abs training: workouts, exercises, diet. But it seems people struggle like never before to get the right results.
In fact this free information over the internet only brings confusion and when you are confused you do not take action.
The paid products (books, videos) are produced today more by marketers than by real experts: it means more confusion.
The right solution is pretty simple, but simple doesn't mean easy: concerning the abs workout exercises, people need to train like athletes. Aim to improve performance, conditioning and strength. This is not very complicated but you have to follow some rules.
Dominic Paris has been a boxing conditioning coach for years and he just published a program on Amazon Kindle: How to build athletic and powerful abs in 6 weeks.
