Squats are best used for strength, hypertrophy and also provide a solid base for power production. But I personally wouldn't put much stock in using them as a tool for muscular endurance. I'd stick...

I have to disagree with this, unless you're specifically talking about top speed. Squats do correlate with improvements in acceleration, you just won't really see a change beyond 10m.

None of what you are doing matters if you're not actually boxing. Get to a gym and box, learn from the coach and other fighters, also do a lot of sparring. If not, ^ he is absolutely right.

Is there a chance of you having a good pro career? No, probably not, but that's not your goal so it's fine.

Back when I was doing kickboxing and MT I knew plenty of guys that got into it in their...

Could you get to an indoor facility? Training speed outside at this time of year won't be very productive.

Assuming you can, then start small, get a good warm up and do some low volume 10m. Focus...

You're overthinking, just get strong. Gaining weight is ok as long as you are gaining sufficient strength to go with it.

Yeah, 180 is pretty huge for your height, and you'd have to be squatting more than 350 to pull it off. If you could maintain that strength at about 150-160 though your acceleration would definitely...

Hands down? Absurd. I don't really disagree with anything else you're saying, this statement is too much of an exaggeration though. They COULD win, it's possible, but it's definitely not a guarantee....

Thanks man, squats are great but you definitely need more posterior chain work, especially if you squat quite upright. Deadlifts are great too, but for me personally, I can't attack my deadlift like...

I am always very sceptical of people's numbers until I see them in action. Proper depth is becoming more "cool" as time goes by, but a lot of people who claim decent lifts would get red lighted at...

By that I mean, you are never going to get more powerful than you are strong. I think people go about athletic training the wrong way, because it works for a certain few. Your power output is limited...

I think this is a very short term style of training. It will yield adaptions for a while and then most people will stall hard, hang cleans, explosive squats and the like are only going to improve for...

Today's session

Squats -
132.5x4

First rep was good, based on that I feel I should have definitely gotten the 5th, but I went for it, stalled above parallel for about a second and then came...

Thanks man, just trying to keep these long limbs in check.

Long day at the indoor facility, generally good though.

Session 1

Powercleans -
85x3x2

Earlier than I'm used to training so mentally I wasn't all there. But watching videos back the weight...

Sauna yesterday must have worked some magic.

You're over thinking the process, keep training, be a sponge and learn as much as you can. Practise your drills, as time goes by as long as you stay consistent and motivated you will start reacting...

lol

I don't really think an athlete needs to be learning olympic lifting in its entirety, it's a whole sport on its own, you don't need more than one lift to get the benefit of it either.

I'd start...
