Right now I weigh 154 and I stand at 6'1 to 6'2 (age 15 if that even matters), but I want to get back down to 140 and get cut with lifting weights and doing whatever else to 'put money in the bank.'

Any ideas??

DIET, HARD WORK, its simple

im 6'2 162 and no fat on me, all muscle, you gotta be 6'1, I can't imagine what kind of a advantage you'd have at 141lb class, i cant even lose weight to get to 152 anymore, I dont know how you can get down to 140 at 6'1, but god bless you.

damn you might be able to fight at 140 if you just drain your fluids for the fight.

but 6'2 and walking around at 140 DAMN

I guess its abnormal for such things in boxing?

Don't be stupid, kid. You are growing right now and when you grow it is normal to gain weight. The only thing you should concentrate is training and a good, rich diet, don't even think of starving yourself at this age, you are going through puberty and growth, so use all of your growing potential.



Edit: and if you decide to starve yourself, be wary that you will have a lot of problems with well...everything.

You getting your pubes and shit.haha

At 15 you should NOT be dieting with your physique. I don't believe that you should be dieting at 40 with your physique.

Eat. Train. Run. Lift. Eat more. If you get big and strong, then so much the better; there is great satisfaction to be taken in knocking your opponents through walls. :boxing:

And FWIW, I once heard a girl talking about a guy I know who is 6'2 and 145-150.

She said sleeping with him was, and I quote: "Like ****ing a bag of antlers."

Eat. If not for yourself, do it for the chicks.

Karma worthy.


Seriously, when I boxed I used to diet and that gave me nothing but problems with kidneys and overall shit health.

I'm not looking to get bulky, if I was i'd start lifting now but I'd rather wait til I get back down to my original weight and it's class.

At your age, your body isn't done forming, yet. It's not even close. Unless you're obese (or dangerously thin), you shouldn't be concerned about your weight at your age. Your fighting weight is going to change radically over the next five years. Stay healthy, and sit back and enjoy the ride.

EDIT: Your ideal weight will continue to change all your life: I'm now 36, and in fighting trim -- 5:15 mile, 54 pushups in a minute, good for 3 rounds full-speed -- I'm FIFTY pounds heavier than I was in my glory days as a varsity defensive back. And I'm only 5'9".

And also, there's no reason that lifting has to make you bulky. The right lifting regimen can make you immensely strong while keeping you thin and limber. Ask your coach. If he doesn't think so, ask another coach.
