So when was competing I was always researching for way to become better at my sport. So I ran into Elliot Hulse and this what he said on the topic of Knock Out, Speed, and Power. It made sense to me and I added it to my workout routine

“Elliot Hulse” says “Strength and ultimately power is a function of the nervous system and not necessarily muscle. Now yes, you do need  muscle to move weight and to generate power, but its the electric current running in to that muscle that matters more than the actual size of the muscle contracting. So this means, we got to build a more efficient nervous system. We want a strong, powerful, neurological impulse to reach the tissue in a particular motor pattern.”

Now my application

My boxing stance is the nervous recruitment pattern I am training so that it generates a ton of force to strike with lightning speed and power.  The very first thing is to develop a foundation of maximal  strength. That is heavy lifting for 1 to maybe 3 repetitions in movements that are conducive to the boxing motor patterns. In this workout routine there are 4 exercises where I will try to develop my maximal capacity for lifting in those 4 movements in reps of a 10 singles up to triples. The bench-press would be one of the 4 exercises (with 60 or more seconds in between sets).. I stayed away from rep ranges that are above 5. 

Dead lifts, bench press, front squats, over head presses.

I split the 4 exercises into to 2 on Tuesday and the other two on Thursday..
