Re: The muscles used with boxing?

aye.

I'm a tiny bloke, but i got a good straight Right. Comes from technique, i get my entire bodyweight, from my heel to my fist into it, without going off balance.

However, i'd say that my backs a good shape ((if not large)) thats cos of the punching and keeping my arms up all the time. I do however do alot of tricep pressups/diamond/pressups/closegrip presusps, for that extra bit.

But it's all technique. Some of the lads are smaller than me and they can hit harder and faster than me by miles.

I mean looka t the pro's, Amir Khan weighed 9st 6 last time he fought. Hatton was 10st 4 against mayweather (i think from memory). They have low bodyfats, and great techniques. Most boxers workouts contain very little in the weights at all.

As alot of the lads said though, you're on your toes at all times, so you'll feel it in your calfs and ankles and they'll get tired. Get on the skipping rope to sort that out tho!

Hope that helps some.
