Boxer's Book of Conditioning Drilling

By Marlon James

Book Overview

Going beyond the standard workout for boxers, this innovative manual introduces a diverse set of training methods, integrating them into drill sets that build the athletic attributes for which past and present fighters are known. From Leroy Jones sparring with chickens and Ken Norton's 15 combined rounds of shadow boxing, sparring, and bag work to Ricky Hatton's staggering 12-round sparring bouts with a body belt and Kosta Tszyu's creative tennis-ball and head-strap punching apparatus, this guide highlights a wide vocabulary of exercises, all incorporating boxing-specific equipment. The drills can be performed solo or with a partner, and each piece of equipment is approached individually with detailed descriptions of routines, including floor exercises and drills with the heavy bag, medicine ball, horizontal rope, and jump rope. With two workout menus for weight training, this guide guarantees a regime to suit any individual need-be it professional or simply a desire to train like some of the best athletes in the world.

Customer Reviews

Good book in great series

Book 2 in a fascinating Alaskan detective series. Interesting characters in an Alaskan setting that rings true (I've been there recently) ...

Love John Straley!

I love all of the Cecil Younger mysteries and only wish that Straley would write more of them more quickly. The characters are so interesting and real, the setting wonderful and rich - you can tell his real life wife is an ornithologist! He gets his birds right. And he gets the people right too.

Excellent

What an excellent story! Cecil is a great, believable character, the mystery is puzzling, and the descriptions of Alaska are evocative. Straley's writing is magical and sometimes stopped me cold. His prose is just as fine as James Lee Burke's.

Excellent reading! I live in SE Alaska and loved this book!!

Very good mystery. I am impressed with John Straley's writing!! I was born and raised in SE Ak and the attention to area was very well done!! Keep the books coming!
