Dilemma

[SaintGeorge]

Torn my bicep, my fighting weight was 72kg (160lbs). During my time out of training through injury I wasn't keeping up with my running, In the space of 12 weeks I put on 10 kilograms and I'm now 82kg. I've been back from injury now for 3 weeks, been working my arse off but the weight doesn't seem to be shifting, I don't want to move up in weight really. I need to get back to a lean 160lbs, any tips guys?

I've got no fight schdeueld, neither do I want one until I'm within 10lbs of my fighting weight.

Thanks in advance, George.

Well what sorta diet do you have?
Also when you start training your muscles will retain more water so you have probably changed shape but stayed the same weight would be my guess?

The same diet I used too have. When I was injured I put on a lot of fat, ate some ****e, as you do. But now I'm eating healthily. I run every morning and go the gym four times a week for an hour and a half and at the moment it just isn't going, infact I'm half a pound heavier. Can't work it out.

Well like I say I think some of that will be water retention.
Reduce your carb intake, if you eat simple carbs try swapping them for complex ones.

One other thing, I believe burning calories and fat is also about the amount of oxygen and its transfer. I read something about that when I cycled across europe when trying to work out how much I should be eating.

Guys when you are asking for advise on loosing weight. You need to give some necessary information like your gender, age, height, weight and description of your daily activity. Do you work sitting, do labor work, exercise (how much, how often and for how long), practice any sports (what type of sport and how often and for how long), and do you. This helps determine how much calories you need to maintain, loose or gain weight.

For boxer, your diet should consist of approximately 55-60 percent carbohydrates, 10 to 15 percent protein and the rest from good fats.
