Review

I've been a boxing trainer for 14 YEARS and have trained many top notch fighters. Your book gave me a list of specific exercises for boxing that I never new existed. My boxers are on average quicker, faster, and stronger than they have ever been before. Not only that, but they are getting these benefits without struggling to maintain their weights. Personally, I USE a lot of what you've taught me in my everyday life. --Mike S

I bought your Ultimate Guide for Boxing book a while back and have enjoyed it so much I went out and got my brother the Ultimate Guide for Golf. He is an avid golfer and if you help him half as much as you've helped me, I can see him winning states next year. Thanks!. --Rob D

As an amateur boxer, this book has greatly assisted my strength and conditioning. I've applied the key essentials and am already seeing improvements in speed, endurance, and strength. This book focuses on improving speed and strength without becoming fatigued easily. As a bonus, tips are provided to help prevent injuries and build technique over just becoming bulky. When you build muscle mass, you become fatigued faster. Now if you work out the right way (like this book provides) you can build the same strength you would with muscle mass.
