Dynamic Warm Up for Boxing 👇🏾
Triphasic training helps boxers develop force through the eccentric, isometric and concentric phases of movement, improving force transfer and punching power.
How Progression Works
This 2 day full body program follows a 4 week mesocycle using progressive overload.
Each week, intensity (weight) increases slightly while reps decrease.
Focus on movement quality before increasing load if form is bad such as lower back arching on the barbell back squat.
Week 1 – 5 reps
Week 2 – 4 reps
Week 3 – 3 reps
Week 4 – Deload 50–30% of 1RM
Stay consistent and adjust load weekly to support progression and recovery.
How Progression Works
This 2 and 3 day full body program follows a 4 week mesocycle using progressive overload.
Each week, intensity (weight) increases slightly while reps decrease.
Focus on movement quality before increasing load if form is bad such as lower back arching on the barbell back squat. Decrease weight and watch form in mirror or get training partner to watch form.
Example-
Week 1-5 reps
Week 2- 4 reps
Week 3- 3 reps
Week 4 de-load 50-30% of 1RM.
Stay consistent and adjust load weekly for progression and aid recovery in the last week by de-loading 50-30% of your 1 Rep Max. The same principle goes for Total Body for 3 Days

Off Season Application of Triphasic Training for Boxing
Triphasic training is best implemented during the off season when the primary goal is to develop maximum strength, improve force transfer and build explosive power without interfering with boxing skill performance. The eccentric and isometric phases place high stress on the muscular and nervous systems and can cause significant delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This fatigue can negatively affect punching speed, timing, coordination and overall boxing performance if performed during active fight preparation or competition periods.
By placing triphasic training in the off season, boxers can fully adapt to the increased strength demands without compromising technical training, sparring quality or competition readiness. This structured progression builds a foundation of strength and power that can later be converted into sport specific speed and explosive performance closer to competition.
Advanced boxers can also implement structured phase based strength methods such as triphasic training to maximize force transfer and explosive power.
This program is built to develop explosive boxing performance while keeping your body strong, durable and ready for long term progression
