oh thats all about entering catabolic state, dont worry too much about catabolism its common but to actually see a difference because of this, its hard, as long as you are eating enough calories for your body, you wont enter a catabolic stage, just be sure to eat frequently in small quan****** more than just big meals, and dont be afraid of carbs.

hey one more question..... when does the body start eating muscle... I wanna eb sure about that area.

because i've gotten alot leaner and the bulges/love handles are almost gone... and i wanna eb sure i dont start losin muscle.

That's a tough one to answer in any kind of precise manner... But I'd say at the point where you start feeling weaker. If you're eating smart, and you lose fat as easily as you make it sound, you don't have anything to worry about. Especially since you're already close to your fighting weight.

If you had to go to 152, you might have reason to be worried...

oh yeah i totally agree with you punchdrunk its absolutely important to give the rest your body needs sometimes, dont worry too much about the rest musclememory does wonders,

Dont get me wrong i am not talking like one day you dont feel like boxing and starting going only when you want to thats just being lazy, hahaha its all about recovery from fatigue , training, and fighting and coming back in optimum shape after a couple of weeks so you don't hit a plateau and can keep improving without feeling tired most of the time.

Exactly, it definitely should not be an excuse to get lazy. A good coach should be able to tell when an athlete needs a break, and should be the one to prescribe when and for how long, just like he prescribes the training whens and hows.

Training and rest are two sides of the same coin.

Rest is the boring part though.....

I think they answered the questions you asked me mate, peaking is just as much mental as it is body. The worry about your weight is that you might "get lazy" when you have reached the desired level, like when you see an overweight person dieting. They finally reach their weight goal, some of them then "treat" themselves to fast food, etc. they then put on weight and demotivate themselves... The key then is to keep your mind active and your fitness growing to the point that you go into the fight and have no thought in your mind that you are going to lose. You've worked harder, trained smarter and are a better boxer than the person you are about to go into battle with, once you have done this, that is your peak mentally and pysically.

PEAKING is when you reach your best point...

peaking to eraly is only bad is your phsically drained, as you will be putting too much strain on your body for to long,

however if you feel better and healthyer then tis fine
