begginer boxer questions

Run alot, It all depends on what you can handle. But do extra cardio Before I go to the gym I have to run 3 miles just to get in and after that we do bag work on 3 minute intervals for about 5-6 rounds Get a partner to run and train with you, it always helps but all around cardio will help you drop weight. I say keep weight lifting, but make sure to swim as well to keep loose. Weight lifting helps keep a good punch power and velocity. AGAIN RUN RUN RUN and ALOT OF BAG ENDURANCE!!! you should notice within monthsi dont have a bag though and there aint alot of gyms within running distance of my house. and also there are only two boxing gyms ive found in my part of town and im gunna need a ride to get there. but how much does a good bag cost and what weight should i get. also what types of gloves.

I agreed that u should do cardio and drop your weight, but include in your cardio the punching bag and try to measure it with 3 min. rounds 1 min. of rest in between. At first try do 3 rds, after a few weeks you should do 6 rds. Go to a boxing gym after 6 weeks doing that to start working the basics. Do a nice diet, not too strict if you don't want a career in boxing. oh but i do want a career :boxing: you dont understand how much i love boxing. its not even because you can legally hit ppl it because of the thrill and just the feeling i get. even when i watch videos i get pumped. i wanna be just like mike tyson. all out great boxer

ask this in the training and nutrition forum and ill answer it, most of the guys here arent real boxers, just nuthuggers NIce............

well actually im just thinking about dropping down to 170. i believe i can get down to 150 bcuz i was at 156 my freshman year of school. and then my max was 200 lbs and squat 265. then we moved to another part of town and i was going to a different school where they didnt lift much so i lost a little muscle and picked up alot of weight. all you guys help i greatly appreciated and ill take them all into consideration. especially the running. buy what are plyometrics? like jumping rope and such?

Build up your cardio to a point where your comfortable to start boxing. Keep up the weightlifting because your puttin up really good number even with your weight especially the squat... just dont powerlift use lower weights with more reps. The main muscle groups to focus on should be your abs, shoulders, back, arms etc. And dont worry about working on footwork or hitting heavy bags yet cause if you are planning on getting a trainer he will tell you how to do it so just do it his way. Other than that just get on a good diet and if you want talk to someone who knows about supplements (protein and stuff like that not steroids) for boxing and use some of those. Good luck

Seriously, that weight could be a big problem if you keep lifting weights. At your height, for a boxer.. you should be around 130-140. So, you'll have to work on that. Though, as you age your body will naturally get bigger. At 16, that is very realistic and it'd depend on how fast you lost the weight. Not trying to poke fun, I'm just giving advice. It's possible, you can lose the weight.

You have to lose some weight man, if you fight at super heavyweight you're gonna get killed. Stop lifting weights and do more plyometrics. Don't jog, run fast and switch it up. You want to do more sprints. Join a boxing gym, your coach can give you some indications of how to go about things.

looking at your height and weight what weight division ur are planing to do?
