How To Get A David Haye Body

In this video, I'm going to show you how to get a David Haye body. David Haye is a world champion boxer. To get a body like that, there are two things you need to think about.

One, do you want a body looking like that or do you want a body performing like that? To look like David Haye, a standard body routine would work for you. However, by doing weight training, you're teaching your body to move slowly. Doing bicep curls, bench press, is good for building up but when you try and punch, you'll be too slow.

It's not effective, not athletic, so you have to do exercises which replicate what's happening in the boxing ring. Fast, quick, speedy movements. The first exercise I'm going to show you is a powermetric press-up.

This will build you up, but more importantly, it will get you power so you can punch quickly. I'll demonstrate. Now a normal press-up, you go slowly down and slowly up, but you don't want that, you want power.

So you go down, quick, down, quick. Much more difficult, I'm teaching my body to quickly explode out, which is very similar to doing a jab. Next, we're going to talk about rotational work.

David Haye, along with many professional fighters, do a lot of core stability and rotational strength work. The power from hooks and jabs and crosses come from twisting the body. If I demonstrate, when you do a hook, you twist, twist, you don't just use your arms.

So we're going to do an exercise which helps us get stronger in this area. This is called a "Russian twist on a ball". Shoulders on the ball, bum up; so you're a straight line: knees, hips, armpits, all in one straight line.

Hands in the air, rotate. Now I'm going to speed it up. And then, relax.

Again, in that exercise, I get more speed and more power in my sides to help my punching. Now, Davide Haye, when before a fight, he trains for three, four or five hours every single day. It takes a lot of commitment with nutrition, a lot of support for that kind of body.

Today's two exercises will help you give some way towards getting a David Haye body. .
