Full Planche pushups...!

[Youngblood]

While on the topic of push ups, I have added a lot more clap push ups to my regime. The thinking is that they help build fast twitch muscle response...therefore helping increase handspeed. Thoughts?

Rossboxing/rosstraining has lots of this type of stuff. They're supposed to be great for explosiveness.

Yea, that is basically why I added them. Hoping to improve both explosiveness and hand speed. I think I have gone as far as I want with strength training for now, and just wish to maintain. So the next logical step is improving other facets. I tried some of the push ups you started this post on, and I can say with certainly...gymnastics is not in my future haha.

Its still strength training, just a different kind of strength.

You should look into Combat Conditioning. Its all body weight exercises. There are many kinde of push ups, bodyweight squats and neck strengthening exercises, and i think it would be really good for boxers. I have a couple of thte videos i can hook you up with.

Also you need to start doing pull ups (LOL no im never going to stop telling you that) because they really are the best thing ever for building raw strength.
