Question
sir
what kind of weight lifting would you suggest? i heard that heavy weights make a boxer slow so please tell me what kind of weight lifting would you suggest
Well it really depends on your own body and what you are trying to accomplish such as going up in weight class, but generally speaking lower weight and higher reps are usually preferred for boxers. There are just too many factors to say for sure.
