    Q: Dear Joe,
    Assuming technique is solid, what strength/flexibility exercises would you recommend to a fighter who wants to throw straight punches faster, throw hook punches faster, throw round kicks faster and have quicker shots for takedowns. (You can substitute faster with harder if you want.) You can do just one if you don't have time. Maybe top 10 exercises for these with rep/rest schemes or whatever.

    Also, I think the most valuable meals of the day are pre, during and post workout. What do you use on your athletes for these meals?

    A: John,
    You always seem to come up with some very specific/in-depth questions. I

    "After your heavy pressing movement, always rest 10 seconds before going into your punching drills. 10 seconds is just enough time to recover slightly from the heavy lifting, but it

  6. How does a person do this? So you lockout a bench higher than your normal, then after however many seconds you but the bar back on the rack, remove the extra weights, and your body will be able to do more? This is something I must look into. How does this work? Mental, psysical?

  12. I think wrist/forearm strength is also critical. I love that he added the power snatch. I also agree with the use of the box squat. You can really explode off the box.

    I hope my wife lets me do some exploding box squats tonight with her power snatch.
     
  13. Sweet Post. I am gonna try this stuff.

    Yeah, DeFranco is the fucking real deal! I take most of what he says to heart because he just gets results. Pro and college athletes are working with this guy for good reason.

    yeh thats a well known complex drill just like clap pushups after benchpress, i cant belive some people havn't heard of this. Another good one is one armed pushups then dumbell shotput.

    Complex training can also be done with isometrics: http://www.rossboxing.com/thegym/thegym25.htm

    Interesting. I always thought of complex's as glorified circuit training.

    complexes ARE glorified circuit training. Complex training (something totally different) refers to the supersetting of heavy movments and similar plyometric movments.
