Question
Hello, me and friends have been playing with boxing for a while now and I'd like to start getting serious about it. Do you have any suggestions? Also I lift weights everyday and run, but I'm wondering if you have a good bodyweight program I could use?
Thanks for the help.
Hi Drew, I would suggest to continue lifting and running. Try to stick with excercises that relate to boxing, like bench press, lat pulls, military press, legs and plenty of calves....I highly recommend joining a golden gloves in your area... www.goldenglovesofamerica.com
they will have all the stuff you need to get started....they will also make your matches for you and sometimes even cover some of your expenses on trips..
good luck

My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym.
Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
