which is more effetive for boxers Isometric or Plyometric?

[ThrowBack]

Hey guys, my first thread and post! Been to a couple of forums and i must say this is the least annoying and seems to be the best educated one. Plyos and Isos seem to be THE hot topic developing fighters, what's your take on this?

[Youngblood]

Plyometric is prob. one of the better conditioning exercises for a boxer, in its ability to also work with key principles of our goals, explosiveness when expending energy, married with range of motion. It isn't the be all end all, but a very useful and important component, imo.

I heard plyos should be worked with days in between. Should plyos be done after or before gym trng? How bout isos?

Not always and it depends on the gym.

I've been in plenty of gyms and thought I'm not doing the exercises they want because I consider them to be dangerous, badly planned and just ass-backwards in terms of training method. In those cases I modify them if I'm working out as a group or go when I can do my own thing.

If you can do a split routine it would be better. Consider what you are looking to train. Most people would think everything all the time! Good luck with that. If you want to work speed don't do it when you're going to be doing long circuits OR at least do speedwork beforehand.
