    Is there any types of training I could be doing to enhance my power and general explosiveness?

    If any of you guys are involved in boxing/kickboxing/muay thai etc please let me know what you find to be beneficial to your overall performance in the ring.

    I think I read Hanley is an MMA fighter now so I'm interested to hear what techniques you use as I usually find your responses to be very interesting.

    Anyway thanks in advance to anyone who responds positively to my post.:)

    As a super basic piece of advice to build the cardio required for explosive power, do sprints like a motherf***er. There really isnt anything that will expand your cardio in that direction any better. There is less intense but more sustained cardio like weighted runs and such. But sprints are the job.

    Good luck with it, im sure someone here will have good fighters advice for you soon!
