Members Que Posted June 13, 2013 Members Share Posted June 13, 2013 I would like everyone's opinion on powerlifting. What are the most important lifts for powerlifting when it comes to overall strength? Do you think Powerlifting (To a degree obviously - Not trying to powerclean 900 lbs) assists boxers? If so, what are the import lifts when it comes to boxing? No snide remarks, I just want everyone's opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackrican23 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 if you do the power lifting exercises ,jerks , snatches etc , with light weight it will help develop the explosive muscles in shoulders , back , tri-ceps , core etc. very beneficial imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CruiserWeight Posted June 17, 2013 Members Share Posted June 17, 2013 What is light weight? Is 185lbs considered light weight for power clean? I workout with 165, 185 feels heavy. If I were to get to the point to where 185 felt light, would that still be beneficial? Or are you talking about 135lbs? How many reps should you do? How many sets?

blackrican23 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 depending on ones physical size. a weight were you can focus on being over explosive in the motion with out thinking about injury, like when a fighter uses hand weights to shadow box , they don't grab 30 lbs dumbbells 10-15 reps x 3-5 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
