Lifting weights really helps punching power?

If you're an amateur training for golden gloves or an olympic quad, it does.

I've been under the tutelage or been in conversation with the coaches of about ten gyms between NY and FL, I have yet to see this once... HOWEVER, while I have seen GG competitors, I have not seen olympians training. Not denying the plausibility, just saying I have yet to meet someone who used it.
 
Q, I'm completely distracted by your paradoxical method of "confrontation" and find it way more interesting than the topic at hand lmao :D

lol. Yeah, I often lose my point in discussions and prefer to call it chat. Pub-like.:icon_lol:

Did find this from CABA...Canadian ammy boxing assoc.

here's a Long Term Development Model (poster) for Canadian boxing...

and here's the manual. The boxers annual program is on page 19.

That might be it, api. My coach buddy was nccp level 4 practical and level 5 theory and he coached ammy junior world and nat champs. I can't be absolute but I am pretty, pretty sure his more competitive boxers, at least, had off-seasons. From what I remember, they were developed around the olympic year. I do believe 3 peaks with the final peak being around the nats, which iirc, were near same as judo as well, in june/july...

to be clear, I agree with you, api. There are a few 'levels' it seems and I think yours covers everything most practical to chat about here.. up to a high-comp boxer.

I agree with you from a judo context, especially. Huge. Until he become hi-comp, which is rare of course.

I do believe strength training is important, tho, across the board now. For longevity, at the least, if for nothing else. I think that even for noobs, it might even be a form of recovery for sports like boxing and judo. I know we can't dictate them tho.

it's the ca that makes the diff.lol I wondered that too.

When I was young we couldn't find shit like this and the best was karate or bruce lee books which weren't cheap.:icon_lol: The money does actually go somewhere decent eh?lol
Some of it anyway.lol
 
You should see me reading this sideways right now.
I see what you're talking about. Technically they only have one month "off".
It's definitely a season based periodization scheme. I wonder if they and other organizations hold a group of events scheduled specifically thoughout the year so that they can use this schedule more effectively. For us here, there are match bouts all year and GG in the spring.
