My dear /fit/

Where does boxing fit in in terms of cardio/weights? After a good workout boxing I feel like I've run a few miles but I also can barely lift my arms, and I've actually put on some muscle just from punching things.

I think I want to start lifting and actually bulk up a bit so I can have a little more power sparring, but I don't know how I would incorporate that into a routine, or even if I should.

Boxing includes glove work, jump rope, squats/crunches with a medicine ball, basic bodyweight stuff, sparring, and getting hit in the face a lot because I can't duck.

jump rope is INSANE cardio. i used to train boxing 2-3 times a week. its awesome cardio as long as you keep your heart beat up.

not op, but I got the longest jump rope I could find at walmart, but it's still too short, I'm 6'5, where can I get one cheap that is long enough, or is there a way to stretch out the one I have?

Im a amateur boxer, train 8 times a week. Weight training is good if it's done right, if you just add weight with heavy muscles you will be slow and your punches wont be that much harder. Do it explosive, heavy weights few reps. But then it also depends how serious you wanna take it. If you want to take it seriously and really learn the sport, forget the weights if you are new, focus on the technique training and running. Cardio is super important in any combat sport. Run a couple of times a week and add some sprints sometimes.
But as i said it all depends on how serious you want to be with and at what skill level you currently are at.
