tips for 275lber please

[irishdude]

Got myself a heavybag, looking for some tips.

I weigh 275lbs, fairly solid body (not very fit, bout 23-24% BF), have 19 inch arms and a 54 inch chest. How do you recommend I build my strength up?

Jump rope and run, a lot. you have about 50 pounds to lose

[mrboxer]

hit the bag with hard combos,you say you have a lot of fat so you probably will start off hitting the bag like a big lug throwing wild haymakers with your hands open and basically slapping the bag and scraping the skin off your knuckles,do not throw these haymakers you will dislocate your shoulder,start of slow,jab,jab,right hand

Wow, that's really short, how tall are you

I measured my arm length yesterday and my arms were 24" armpit to end of fist

Anyway your bf is pretty high. Forget about the heavybag, unless you know how to use it properly you are just going to wail on it and probably hurt your hands. Forget about building lots of strength too for the time being, you need to lose some weight. Start with jogging 20 minutes in the mornings before you eat anything (burns fat and boost your metabolism) when you can, increase the time to 30 or even 40 minutes. Cut out all the **** out of your diet, (full fat dairy, chips, chocolate, lollies, pizza, maccas etc etc etc)
and eat six small meals per day of good foods like reduced fat dairy, fruit, lean meats, wholegrain breads, unsalted nuts etc. In the evenings or after your runs (depending on what suits you) do as many pushups as you can in sets of 10 or 20 (im assuming they will be diffuclt for you because of your size) and as many crunches/situps as you can in sets of 10 or 20.

Really losing weight is not hard at all. All it is is getting motviated to exercise and being able to deny yourself fatty and sugary foods. Might be hard at first but if you really want it, it's easy.

Wow! 275 pounds and only 19" arm reach?...

either ur short and fat....

Or u just have t-rex like arms.

Either way, I know u wanna have a go at that heavy bag. But first and foremost, lose weight!

But ur probably not gonna listen. If u don't have anyone to show u proper technique then go on youtube and look up some boxing technique videos and try it out on ur bag.

BUT PLEASE!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!

Don't be a fat ass!!!

Criminally wrong answer .
Never jump the rope , it will destroy your cartilage , never run either.
Walk long distances , and if and after you manage to lose at least 40 lbs , then you can consider walking long distances with added weight on your back. Never run or jump unless an immediate life threatening danger occurred .

I think you need conditioning man .Best way to lose weight.The safest is clean diet exercise and plenty of water .This book is quality .If your only looking to lose some weight and ain't competing then you might even find you don't need to run as I found out when I bought this book.
