Have any of you ever used a plyometrics program in conjunction with your boxing training?

yes. my trainer mixes in pylos. jump squats, squat thrusts, mountain bikes.. i hatem all. but i know they are VITAL to becoming a good/explosive athlete, let alone boxer. -

Just wondering, it's been awhile since I was actively training in the sport. And the plyometrics of today are vastly different from the plyometric type things around in my hey day.Originally posted by greengloves View Post.......

i used to do plyos once a week for off ice hockey training during the season, and sometimes up to 5 times a week during the off season depending on the camp. so i have a very strong hate for plyos. but i need to start incorporating them into my boxing training. right now i don't do any.Comment

keneisiology has improved plyometric training a lot since the mid to late 90's. i forget what the old workouts were like, but they were quite different and weren't nearly as effective as todays.Originally posted by greengloves View PostComment

im not totally versed in what specifically falls under plyometrics, but i think i have the idea. my friend and i set up a circut workout that was great the other day.
25 jumping jacks
25 pushups
25 situps
10 burpees
rope climb (have a 25ft in the gym at school)
5 pull ups
25 hopping over medicine ball
the key is to go from one exercise to the next without rest in the set. the goal is to shoot for 5 sets.Comment

the hurpees, jumping, and pushups - but they have to be plyo pushups, where your hands get off the ground when u go up. that's pylometrics. i've noticed a real increase in my punching power since i started doing this ****Originally posted by egonct View PostComment
