These two books have structure how I approach boxing strength and conditioning to write program on my website- www.rjboxingsandc.com
Special Strength Development for All Sports by Louie Simmons (Westside Barbell)
Triphasic Training by Cal Dietz & Ben Peterson
Both go deep into explosive power, speed and performance. The most important factor apart from the number one which is your skills training in our skill is boxing. The second which is to build strong and robust athletes.
Louie Simmons work helped the understanding of special strength and conjugate methods by breaking it down. Training that transfers directly to sport performance and in our case boxing.
Cal Dietz triphasic system showed me how to break down every phase of eccentric, isometric and concentric. We can change this structure slightly which my former online coach Chris Barnard utilizes isometric, eccentric and then concentric to develop explosive power. He uses Isometric as it really fires up the nervous system to active your fast twitch muscles and is also less muscle soreness so you gain strength and go into the eccentric more powerful. Then the final block concentric really push maximal intent to really get them gains when you utilize constrast training in the next block so you how explosive you are and we become after this final block.
This is the foundation behind how I build my programs for boxing athletes. It’s not random as it’s scientific and fight proven which coach’s use such as Phil Duru utilizes conjugate training.🥊
Strength without speed is useless. Speed without control will leave you unbalanced as slow you down and unstable especially in the ring. Balance both and your become dangerous.

Which phase do you focus on most in your training-eccentric, isometric or concentric? I focus mainly two isometric and concentric but I love isometrics as it’s great for injury prevention and muscle soreness.
