I've dabbled in boxing before. I like the workouts and I want to try to enter Masters boxing. I found a great boxing gym here in DC and I'm about to start training with them. One thing that bothers me is the head trainer recommended that I stop lifting while training for boxing.
He thinks it would slow me down. Any truth to this? He says having excessive muscle mass would require more oxygen, hurt flexibility, etc.
I believe weight training if done properly will improve flexibility. Don't know about the oxygen part.
Thoughts?
