Thinking about starting a weight progam, but I have a real long reach. By doing weights will they shorten my reach? And can you tell me some good points about weights and can they help me in my boxing career?

Weights used to gain muscle will give you unwelcome extra weight and you'll be too heavy for your frame and fighting at a weight above what's natural. So I would reccomend using them minimally or not at all.

no, they don't short your reach and when you use them right you can improve your punch or speed

Well it won´t make your brain shrink any smaller. Thats not possible.

:lol1: Doing weights will not make your arms shorter. :rofl:

Your bones won't shrink and thats what makes your reach.

I used to have a 78 inch reach, I started lifting weights and now I have a 69 inch reach.

Be careful.

?
You chop off your hand or something?

I used to be 6'9" and black I started lifting weights and now I'm 6'2" and polish, beware.

Only by washing in warm water and not air drying will shorten your reach, IMHO:la:

Dont be so sure to tease,

This is is the same guy before weight training

Lifting weights also shortens the penis and enlarges the testicles. So I've heard... :nono:

That is my tribe and we do not have small penises just big balls. The big balls make our penises appear smaller, when in fact they are like king size yams capable of giving our multiple wives multiple pleasureable moments.

Come on man thats just nasty. Them balls bigger then beach balls yo.

Funnily enough if you weight train in the wrong way then you can affect your reach. If you train with a specific goal in mind then you should be OK but a lot of guys will try and overtrain the biceps which will affect the extension of your muscles.

It's unlikely it will affect you however unless you're really on a bodybuilding kick and you'd feel other problems such as lack of energy and speed long before you'd notice the loss of reach.

You'll lose your penis if you lift weights. Serious talk, mon.

I could see how it could appear to affect your reach because of the thickness of the muscle, but unless your bones are shrinking from lifting then I do not see how it would.

haha lolololol

Well if you do it really wrong you can lose some flexibility in your joints.

So don't body build excessively while not working on your flexibility and you'll be fine.

****ing a lot doesn't shrink your dick either.

LOL !!! at some of the comments

If you weight train you will not lose reach, you may loose range of motion, so remember to stretch a lot before and after and you should be fine.
