You'll most likely be slightly depleted from all the cardio/boxing. By depleted, I mean your muscles will be semi-deprived of glycogen, which comes from your liver (energy). So instead of doing an hour long marathon, I'm saying to do a hard 30 minute workout. Keep it heavy yes, do a ton of sets no. The longer you stay trying to lift [submaximal] weights, the more your body becomes catabolic..Essentially your body is looking for energy, and it sees your muscles and goes, "yum yum".
A sample day for chest/back might look like this:
Monday:
Decline Barbell Bench- 3 x 6-8
Pullups- 3 x failure
Incline DB Press- 2 x 8-10
Widegrip Cable Rows- 2 x 8-10
* All of this doesn't include warmups of course. If you're lifting heavy enough, it's an asskicker..Especially while depleted.
