Is this a good thing?

i read that article and i dont really understand the relaxing your body while you throw the punch and make your body Snap it, ill ask my coach what he thinks about weightlifting. what i should do as a boxer to weightlift. etc.

He should say, avoid reps and do only power lifting or power shifting.

I recon anything in little bits is ok: but you dont want to start shaping your muscles any way that will take your natural speed away, speed = power too, not just momentum plus weight. One is at the expense of fluidity. I would never give that type of speed up in a fight. Technique will give you all the power you need, Fluid speed will allow you to land the shot unseen, thats worth more than anything.

What Andre says here is golden. If you want to be fast and strong, within a particular style of fighting, get really good at that type of fighting.
