Just wondering what the best schedule would be whilst doing Boring But Big 4 days a week and Boxing 2 days a week.
Day 1 is OHP, Bench 5x10, Chin ups 5x10.
Day 2 is Deadlifts, Squat 5x10, hanging leg raise 5x10.
Days 3 Bench, OHP 5x10, Dumbell rows 5x10.
Day 4 Squat, Deadlifts 5x10, Standing leg curls 5x10.
Keep the main lift and the supplemental lift the same. So day 2 is deadlift/deadlift 5x10 while day 4 is squat/squat 5x10 for example.
What days of the week do you box?
Normally box Tuesday Thursday, but woukd rather adjust if not optimal. I decided to do OHP, Bench. Squat, Deadlifts ect to get each movement in twice a week.

I understand why you did it. Every one does, and it’s because they don’t grasp that the purpose of BBB is NOT to practice the movements more: it’s to gain in bodyweight. It’s why Jim has 99% of his athletes stick with the same movement; you want to OWN the movement for that day and allow the fatigue to accumulate AND for the long recovery granted by training it once per week. Remember: you’re running BBB to gain bodyweight: NOT to make your lifts go up. If your goal is to move more weight: BBB isn’t the right program.
Boxing is going to be tough to do while training something hard like BBB. I imagine it’s why you don’t have any pushing assistance exercises, and I can appreciate that. Were I to structure this, based on your schedule, I’d squat on Friday, Bench on Thursday, Press on Saturday, and deadlift on Sunday or Monday. But that depends on your boxing style. If you bob and weave a whole bunch, you might want to alternate the squat and deadlift days. But if you’re more about footwork, I’d keep it as is, because trying to be lightfooted after a bunch of squats will SUCK.
I’ll take your advice. Thank you. Also, it makes perfect sense with the recovery doing on same day. Cheers buddy
