My 4 Day Boxing Plan

Thanks for the updated details:

  • Equipment: Barbell, Medicine Ball, Small Punching Bag (speed bag or mini bag)
  • 🥊 Experience Level: Intermediate
  • 🗓️ Training Days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
  • 🛌 Rest Days: Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday

🥊 Goal: Build Boxing Stamina (Cardiovascular + Muscular Endurance) with Power Development

This 4-day plan focuses on:

  • High-capacity conditioning (simulate 3–5 round fights)
  • Punching stamina (sustain speed & power over time)
  • Rotational strength & core stability
  • Explosive power (without overtraining)
  • Technique under fatigue (critical for real performance)

We’ll use a balanced weekly structure with:

  • 2 Power/Strength + Core days
  • 2 Stamina & Boxing-Specific Conditioning days

🗓️ Weekly Training Schedule

🏋️‍♂️ Monday – Power & Strength (Full Body)

Goal: Build force production for powerful punches

Warm-up (8 min):

  • Jump rope – 3 min
  • Dynamic stretches: leg swings, arm circles, torso twists
  • 2 rounds: 10 air squats, 10 shoulder taps, 10 high knees

Workout (50 min):

  1. Back Squat – 4 x 5
    (80% 1RM, explosive concentric, controlled descent)
  2. Power Cleans – 5 x 3
    (Focus on fast triple extension: ankles, knees, hips)
  3. Push Press – 4 x 6
    (Drive overhead explosively – mimics uppercut drive)
  4. Weighted Pull-Ups – 4 x 6
    (Or bodyweight x 8–10 if no weight)
  5. Medicine Ball Rotational Slams – 3 x 10/side
    (9–12kg, full rotation, aggressive throw – like a hook!)
  6. Plank to Push-Up – 3 x 10 reps
    (Core + shoulder stability under movement)

Cooldown: Foam roll, deep stretch (hips, shoulders, back)


💨 Tuesday – Boxing Stamina + HIIT Conditioning

Goal: Build lactic threshold & sustain output over time

Warm-up (5 min):

  • Jump rope – 2 min
  • Shadowboxing – 1 min (light, rhythm)
  • Arm circles, torso twists

Main Workout (55 min):

🔁 Stamina Circuit (EMOM x 20 min – Every Minute on the Minute)

Do the circuit at the start of each minute, rest the remainder.

MinExercise
Odd Min (1,3,5…)Shadowboxing – 1 min(focus on form, footwork, combinations)
Even Min (2,4,6…)Circuit (complete in <60 sec):
• 10 Med Ball Slams (9kg)
• 15 Kettlebell Swings (24/16kg) or Dumbbell Swings
• 20 Mountain Climbers

💡 This simulates “rest between rounds” while keeping heart rate elevated.

🥊 Small Bag + Shadow Work (15 min):

  • 5 rounds x 3 min (1 min rest)
    • Round 1: Jab-Cross combos
    • Round 2: Lead Hook + Uppercut
    • Round 3: Body-head combinations
    • Round 4: Fast flurries (10–15 sec ON / 10 sec OFF)
    • Round 5: Defense + counters (slip, roll, counter)

Cooldown: Light jump rope (1 min), stretch shoulders, hips, spine


💥 Thursday – Explosive Rotational Power + Core

Goal: Maximize rotational force and core endurance for hooks & uppercuts

Warm-up (same as Mon)

Workout (45 min):

  1. Box Jumps – 4 x 5
    (Land softly, explode up – focus on hip drive)
  2. Landmine Rotational Press – 3 x 8/side
    (Use barbell in corner or landmine attachment – slow back, explosive forward)
    👉 No landmine? Use Med Ball Rotational Throws (against wall or open space)
  3. Floor Press – 4 x 8
    (Dumbbells or barbell – limits range, focuses on lockout power)
  4. Inverted Rows (or Ring Rows) – 4 x 10
    (Builds back strength for posture & defense)
  5. Hanging Leg Raises – 3 x 12
    (Slow, controlled – no swinging)
  6. Pallof Press (Anti-Rotation) – 3 x 12/side
    (Use cable or band – core stability under load)
  7. Neck Bridges (front/side) – 2 x 15 sec each
    (Optional but great for head resilience)

Cooldown: Stretch obliques, neck, shoulders


🔥 Friday – Fight Simulation + MetCon

Goal: Simulate real fight fatigue and improve work capacity

Warm-up (5 min): Jump rope + dynamic movement

Workout (60 min):

🥊 Round Simulation (6 x 3 min – 1 min rest)

Shadowbox with purpose – treat it like a real fight.

RoundFocus
1Jab control, movement
2Power combos (1-2-lead hook)
3Body attack + head movement
4High-volume flurries (30 sec ON / 15 sec OFF)

As Many Rounds As Possible:

  • 5 Power Cleans (60–70% 1RM or 75/55 lb)
  • 10 Explosive Push-Ups

📈 Progression Plan (Every 2 Weeks)

WeekGoal
Weeks 1–2Master pacing, technique, and form
Weeks 3–4Increase weight (5–10%), reduce rest by 5–10 sec
Weeks 5–6Add 1 rep/set, increase med ball weight, beat AMRAP round count
Week 6+Deload Week: 50% volume, focus on mobility & recovery

🧠 Recovery & Stamina Tips

To build real boxing stamina, prioritize:

  • Breathing drills: Box breathing (4-in, 4-hold, 4-out) daily
  • Neck & Core Work: Prevents fatigue and improves posture
  • Hydration & Sleep: Critical for recovery and endurance gains
  • Active Recovery (Wed): Light walk, stretching, or yoga (10–15 min)
