Yeah this book is still available, it was re-released in 2001 as a revised edition. Just google it.

As for the boxing, its mainly benching, rowing, chin-ups, front raises, hindu jump squats, and a whole wack of ab work. 3 days per week in the 10-12 rep range. Boxers dont really do a whole lot of lifting. Most of they're workouts consist of plyometrics, agility, and endurance training.

10-12 reps

Yeah, you would expect more but they already do a bunch of other things for endurance.

Ya I hear you. I train muay thai & BJJ and wieghts are not a part of the training. Basically, my strength is up to me. This is why I love the whole periodization deal.

BTW, I really wish I heard of this type of training a long time ago.
