Hello Guys,
I wrote a new post on a book called "The arc of boxing. The rise and decline of the sweet science” by Mike Silver. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you guys!
I liked the conclusions from that book. I never could find a balance between weights and martial arts. The weights always made the muscles more rigid and tense, and it was easier to pull muscles. DT style exercise combined with bodyweight always seemed to enhance speed and movement.
Very interesting Patrick, Thanks! I was a boxing fan but have not keep up with it lately. I remember Evander Holyfield lifted weights with Lee Haney. I'm no expert but I can see how muscular endurance from light dumbbells would help a boxer.
