In reply to TMAC. You gotta do what your body can handle. If you're just training for yourself then for sure. If you're competing, you eventually want to work up to doing it at least 5 days a week.

For over 30 years (I’m 46 and a former Marine) I have gotten the best results from high rep bodyweight exercises, specifically pushups and pullups. I grew up a chubby kid and at 16 I got tired of being made fun of and went on a strict program of long distance running every other day and the other days I did ridiculous amounts of pushups, chins and pullups, and crunches. It didn’t happen right away and took a year to build up to but at my best I was doing 2,000-3,000 pushups, 500 crunches and 100 pullups every other day. I started running about a mile and a half and worked up to regularly running 10-15 miles on the opposing days. Granted, I was 17 and had no responsibilities! I then joined the Marines and actually lost the shape i was in. You just don’t exercise as much as everyone thinks in boot camp. I then dabbled with powerlifting and got really strong but I was never as lean as I was when I did high rep, high volume calisthenics. SO, sorry for the long comment, but your writing resonates with me greatly and I appreciate it! Getting back to high reps now!!!

In reply to Laui. It is! As long as you're above at least 10 reps.

Is weighted calisthenics where you progressively overload every week good for boxing?
