As far as i no he did all the core boxing training as in harsh ab exercising, jump rope, running, one armed pressups e.t.c. I heard he also used to do about 100! pull ups a day. I also heard that the most unusual method of training he used was throwing punches underwater?? coz the water pressure it gave added resistance and built up the arm strength as well as the power of his punch

Im actually a pretty big fan of his, i take it you are too and im tryin to look into boxers training regimes to adapt to my own. If i get anythin else ill tell ya. Peace out

p.s just found out this mutherfuker KIETH got there before me, o well

u blatanlty just looked that up aswell lol

This excerpt is taken out of a book that I'm currently reading. I found this section on Marciano fascinating!


"Rocky Marciano who trained with the most monastic devotion; his training methods have become legendary. In contrast to reckless fighters like Harry "The Human Windmill" Greb, who kept in condition by boxing all the time. Marciano was willing to seclude himself from the world, including his wife and family, for as long as three months before a fight. Apart from the grueling physical ordeal of this period and the obsessive preoccupation with diet, and weight, and muscle tone, Marciano concentrated on one thing; the upcoming fight.

Every minute of his life was defined in terms of the opening second of the fight. In his training camp the opponent's name was never mentioned in Marciano's hearing, nor was boxing as a subject discussed. In the final month Marciano would not write a letter since a letter related to the outside world. During the last ten days before a fight he would see no mail, take no telephone calls, meet no new acquaintances. During the week before the fight he would not shake hands. Or go for a ride in a car, however brief. No new foods! No dreaming of the morning after the fight! For all that was not the fight had to be excluded from consciousness. When Marciano worked out with a punching bag he saw his opponent before him, when he jogged, he saw this opponent close beside him, no doubt when he slept, he "saw" his opponent constantly --As the cloistered monk or nun choose by an act of fanatical will to "see" only God.

Madness? -or merely discipline? -this absolute subordination of the self. In any case, for Marciano, it worked."

The Rock was a freak when it came to training, he would run 7 days a week and put his body through extreme punishment which wasn't the norm in his time.The one excercise I remember reading about him that I don't remember any other athlete doing is training his eyes, if I remember correctly he would lay down and just move his eyes in all positions. The Rock got the most out of his small frame and non naturally gifted body and his only knock was his level of competition at the time which was nothing he could do about it.

You will probably find one of the the reasons he was undefeated was his training regimen. He would run a minimum of 7 miles a day and I read where some days he ran 15 miles at a time. I never heard of any other fighter at any weight doing this. He had an under water punching routine that Ali also used. Look up the name Charlie Goldman. He was the trainer.

I think he jogged with a rock in his right hand.

Also he was only 185lbs. Pretty small heavyweight
