Gennady Golovkin Workout Exercises

Sprints

Like most fighters, boxers included, Gennady Golovkin utilizes lots of sprints in his training routine.

Sprints are a phenomenal exercise to not only improve your cardio but to also improve the explosiveness of your lower body. 

One Leg Diamond Push Ups

We have seen Gennady Golovkin doing diamond push ups for numerous of times. 

Diamond push up is a push up variation which will primarily focus on triceps, but front deltoids and pecs will get extensively worked on as well.

One leg will add an unstable element to the exercise and as a result, will improve the stabilizer muscles and overall core strength, since the diamond push up requires a greater deal of balance.

Gennady Golovkin Abs Work

Like many boxers, Gennady Golovkin utilizes many different abs exercises in his strength and conditioning routines. 

In addition to just training the upper and lower abdominal muscles, Gennady Golovkin also works the obliques. Obliques produce a great amount of twisting strength, which is beneficial for throwing fast and powerful punches.

Golovkin Sit Ups

A regular sit up where Golovkin is holding his hands in the front of his body (see the image above), is one of the signature exercises of Gennady Golovkin. 

A properly done sit up is a great exercise to train the hip flexors and abdominal muscles. 

Plate Oblique Twist

Plate oblique twist is a great exercise to train both the abdominals and obliques in an effective fashion. 

Hold the weight in front of your body, and try to move the weight by turning your body to the sides.

Explosive Medicine Ball Oblique Twist

Explosive medicine ball oblique twist trains the same muscles as the plate oblique twist, but with this exercise, the goal is to do it as explosive as possible. 

In addition to building amazing explosiveness in the obliques and other core muscles, hips will get stronger as well.

This is one of the best exercises you can do to improve your punching power, since majority of the power comes from the hips and the twisting motion.
