What you do in the gym is general. There is not that much difference between training for basketball or MMA.

I am going to disagree with you on this, witch. Yeah, for the most part a well rounded training program is good for almost any sport, but training sport specific styles can give you an edge.

This is not the best example, but when I played diskgolf seriously, upper body workouts completely fucked my throw up. Eventually I just stopped playing, but the stronger I got at my pushing movements, the worst my throw became.

agreed. what other sports have the same training routine.

I'm a big believer in 'what you do in the gym is general' and 'if you want to get better at X, do X'.

I know everyone on here is compound this compound that but I'd at least add some neck work to your workout. That is if you were a real person and not the invented danny81... then I'd suggest that. It might help you with your ghetto town side jobs(,blow) as well... if by some far chance everything you say is real.

Danny,

From my own personal experience training in multiple gyms, heavy weight training in boxing is kept relatively low in general. This is to keep your body "loose" and quick. In the past, and presently when preparing for sparring with friends who are about to compete, the only weight training I do in conjunction with my boxing workouts is with light weights, many repetitions, with a lot of focus on shoulders. Also focus on pushups, abs, back and legs (though I admit I slack on legs due to the amount of cardio involved in boxing workouts). However, neck training with weights as Hoglander suggested is good for obvious reasons (to improve your chin by keeping your head from snapping back when punched). More time should be spent on other things such as breathing, footwork, accuracy and cordination (double end bag work, mitts, and speedbag).

I agree. I don't know enough about wrestling to say what is a good workout to translate from. Why don't you just stick to what BC recommended?
