Question about the final 4 weeks of the fight camp
In the 8-week Condensed Conjugate fight camp, the progression moves from Dynamic Effort + Heavy/Max Effort (weeks 8–6), to a deload (week 5), then Contrast Training (weeks 4–3), Lactic Capacity (week 2), and Speed of Sport (week 1).
My question is specifically about the final four weeks:
During weeks 4 and 3, when using Contrast Training (80% → 40%, then 85% → 45%), do you also keep some fresh, standalone plyometric and ballistic work (jumps, bounds, medicine ball throws), or is the contrast method intended to replace those separate power sessions?
Also:
- How do you select the exercises for the contrast pairs?
- Do you generally pair lower-body strength exercises with jumps and upper-body strength exercises with medicine ball throws?
- How does the approach change in weeks 2 and 1 to maintain explosiveness without accumulating fatigue?
I’d appreciate an example of how you would structure these sessions for a boxer.
