I've been boxing for some years now and I've had a layoff because of injuries. Now I'm trying to come back this year. But I lost some of my condition and power. I know that it takes time to get these back and a lot of patience and discipline. But I was also wondering if I could box and fitness 2/3 times in a week. Next to my 2/3days weekly boxing.
And I don't want to build mass, but just a faster more powerful punch and a horses condition. In the past 2yrs(1 year training + about a year layoff now.) I gained 12kilo(26 lbs) and I'm now weighing an avg of 68-70 kilos(149-154lbs). In my boxing years I felt the fittest(most punching power,speed and condition) at 64 kilos.(141 lbs.) I don't think I've grown that much in lenght about 1cm.( 5.8'/9'ish atm)
The problem is I don't know if it's smart to fitness next to it. And if it is what kinda schedule do I need. I have a suspicion it be a lot of repetitions ( lighter dumbells etc ) and explosive output of these excercises + Cardio. But I'm unsure if this is smart to do. Anybody here a fighter aswell who does fitness next to it.? What's your fitness schedule?
P.s. I'm not training fitness. I want to combine my Boxing which is my 1st priority with fitness if thats possible. ( Im interested in Amateur ring boxing)
