I'm looking for advice here because whenever I ask for training advice on boxing forums it's all about HIIT/tabata only. They completely neglect the aerobic system. Maybe they're right if i'm preparing for a fight in a relatively short time.

Has anyone got any advice on hoe to get in the best shape possible in a couple of months? Calisthenics, high reps/low reps? What the hell do I do to not gas out in 30 seconds and give a reputable performance?

This looks decent. Any others want to chime in?

re: Weakling wannabe

Why would you want to box? Will it be with headgear and big soft gloves or will you actually be trying to hurt each other?

Do 800 meter intervals of running on the track with walking recovery. This is just enough to be a sufficient aerobic stimulus, but also intense enough to be relevant to boxing. Do 3 of these in a set, then rest, if you can do 3 more. after the intervals work on shuffling sideways, running backwards and throwing punches while running . Also work the heavy bag and skip rope, do hill sprints. For lifts hammer curls, push press, bench press, chinups, squat thrusts, front squat. get some 1 lb weights and work on footwork and shadowbox with them, then do so without them.

Plenty of time to train. Not much time tonight since you need your rest which creates discipline . So rule one wax off wax on. Oh wrong fight.

No seriously invest in a rubber medicine ball. How much do you weigh and how much can you bench press? If not much then a 12 lbs ball will do . If you your the real thing than a 16 lbs is better. Let me know if you have one and I'll give you the top secret workout that is proven to get real results.

Punch slabs of frozen beef, sprints on the beach, swim laps with butterfly stroke, chop wood, and run up a snowy mountain in a heavy leather jacket
