I wrestled for many years and I continued to lift during season but like DYS said not pure strength training.
i did 2-3x full body lifts a week not a lot of volume either and I backed the intensity off
mainly did it to add to my conditioning and to maintain my strength as much as I could. But my workouts were so intense that I didn’t want to over stress my body especially when a tournament was coming up. Deep in the season I would focus on bodyweight stuff for a half hour after practice. But like the others said it’s gonna be hard to master lifting and boxing. Just be careful and listen to your body
don’t overtrain and injure yourself
i know bixing and wrestling aren’t the same but i imagine your boxing sessions are very intense like any other type of fighting sport
Pretty much every sport that is not a true strength sport like PLing, Oly lifting and strongman are the same like that. Raw strength is not the end all, be all in most sports, but it always help.
Take a football offseason program - generally broken into 4 training blocks leading into the next pre-season. All aspects of training are covered in every block, but every block has a focus. Recovery (immediately after season ends), hypertrophy, strength, and conditioning - then into the next pre-season/season where all you can do is maintain.
You can't serve multiple masters unless you're a crossfitter haha. Then you can be average at everything.
