He doesn't do a full weight squat, it's so he rises faster from a duck with strength for more combined powerful ko punch. This training is strictly for boxing
In some ways this is actually better than the weightroom because of the non linear, multiplanar nature of what they're doing, which is just more varied and useful than up and down barbell lifts. Still, you can't replace heavy deadlifts, for instance, so I think the ideal approach would be a mix of both.
Your all wrong about the foam on the chest.. he is trying to recreate generating explosive power from a very short range.. imagine holding your gloves in front of you and firing it from there.. boxers arms are always in front of them holding guard or throwing,there is no need to go further back from in-front of your face..
My boxing trainer told me that KOs come at the right moment with the right technique. They are powerful because the technique is correct. That’s how boxers, even when tired from many rounds can still deliver a ko punch
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a child start out with wrestling instead of boxing? Isn't that what the Soviets recommended alongside doing gymnastics/tumbling?
Bodyweight training is extremely useful till you reach 14-15-16 years. But upon progression you will need to focus on heavily loaded barbells for oly weightlifting exercises. Powerlifting is not for wrestling, only oly weightlifting components for strength and speed. Endurance comes only thru wrestling but not thru lifting. In Greco during the Soviet times it was forbidden to do bench press: there was widely spread believe that bench press is significantly reducing you shoulder mobility. I remember when newcomers were trying to add bench pressing into their programs but coaches strictly were prohibiting bench pressing. Now every single wrestler in the world is diing bench press and have many injures with shoulders and elbows. But 40-30 years ago it was not a common thing.
I would say body weight (and partner) training is useful for wrestlers of all ages, and can replace training with weights completely if you want - just use a partner of a higher weight class if necessary, or select exercises of higher difficulty. The Dagestanis for example still don't lift weights, at least not regularly - there's a clip of Sadulaev in the weight room, his form clearly shows he's not used to it, and he's using weights that are way below his level. On the other hand, there's also a clip of him doing five pull-ups with one hand behind his back while weighing around 100 kg.
Greco and freestyle wrestlers never dedicate specific training sessions or segment of their trainings for grip strength. Never. In judo grip training is common thing but not in wrestling. Simply just wrestle + rope climbing + push ups + dumbbells + playing with plates. That''s it.
You should talk about Leon Edward training. It was posted by his S&C coach. Or you can talk about Bivol workout cuz his S&C session is kinda unique and considering he has some schedule fight, it will be good for some view too haha
