Russian mixed style (MMA) fighter Damil Sharafutdinov revealed the secret of training the character in the film “Rocky Balboa”. His words are quoted by “Championship”.
The athlete stated that pull-ups, barbell presses, jogging, strength training with a barrel and a sledgehammer are effective as they develop strength endurance and powerful strikes. He also paid attention to the character’s well-placed punch.
Sharafutdinov believed that professional athletes prepare at approximately the same rhythm when approaching fights. At the same time, he emphasized that training for boxers is effective if you combine strength training with boxing.
