Common questions

What can I do instead of the Left Hook (Boxing)?

The closest substitutes are the Band Y-Raise, Barbell Skier and Battling Ropes. Each trains the delts as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Left Hook (Boxing) programming.

Which Left Hook (Boxing) alternative should I try first?

Start with the Band Y-Raise — it targets the delts with a band and is the closest match in this list.

Can I just rotate these with the Left Hook (Boxing)?

Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the delts first.
