![]() In the video below I not only discuss the problem with using resistance band shadow boxing, I also provide you a little test you can try as a demonstration for why this common “sports specific training practice” is NOT recommend in the Performance U training approach. Why we feel it’s a mistake: Put simply, the movement skills required in sports like boxing that require an accuracy component are EXACT, not similar – exact. Not to mention, the large amount of companies that make and/or sell exercise device specifically designed to be used for resistance band shadow boxing. One of the most popular examples of this false belief is when fighters (and people who just want to train like one) are advised to do shadow boxing rounds, and perform their specific boxing techniques and combinations while working against resistance bands that are strapped around their back or anchored at a belt around their waist. The problem:Thinking that exercises have to look (exactlly) like the sport you’re training for. Sports Specific Training is probably one of the most misunderstood concepts among personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts alike.
