You are in the right weight for your height if 6.9% body fat

[Mr.MojoRisin']

I ate "healthy" today and my weight went up to 61.6kg from 60kg. I have to eat little. Also, according to "Ideal Height to Weight" charts, for my height bone structure, featherweight is the right weight. This coincides with the list of world champions on Wikipedia & their heights on each weight division.

The body doesn't seem to be storing anything. I have been making results. Also, just need to lose 6 more kilograms.

The same thing will happen when you start eating healthy at the weight you're trying to get down to.

You shouldn't compare to pro boxers. Look at Mike Tyson for example, He is 5`10 but he is in the heavyweight class, which is over 180lbs. He was doing just fine.

But you're just gonna gain it back once you hit whatever weight you're going for, even with "Healthy" diet.

I am reaching to be an average boxer. Not a genius anomaly like Mike Tyson. Besides, I am not ambitious. So, it is better to box among my own height.

Most Boxers that are average aren't trying to be average. They are striving to be the best but only turn out to be half of that. If you are trying to be average then you will only be half of that because I doubt you are mentally on the level of TBE.

[wilberbear]

I meant average in physique (like how many push ups most boxers do or whatever), not average in ranking. As for ranking, it is more like "let it be however it goes". As for my career, when I get older, I can join military with my trained physique & become a chef (free chef education at the military). But what you said does ring wisdom though. I wasn't talking about ranking though. Meant average physique when meant average boxers (as in boxers "in" average not boxers who "are" average).

Most boxers physique just come from doing a workout over time. An example being that two fighters do the same workout but don't look the same because one has been doing it longer. Also it comes down to genetics.

Yeah, genetics is a *****. My DNA jumped a generation straight from my grandparents instead of from my parents. I gain weight easily. Even though most boxers don't think about reaching specific numbers for physique exercises, such numbers still exist, and someone like me aim for those specific numbers only instead of pushing & pushing for physique. Also, I already got it before. 75 push ups & so on. The minimum workout. I am actually looking for "minimum" workout, not even really "average" shape but a "minimum shape for a 10 rounder".

1000 push up
1000 sit ups
Shadowbox
Jump rope
Bag work (Must or else you won't get boxer physique, condition and cardio)
Sparring (How are you gonna know if you're gonna last 10 rounds if you don't spar.)
Run around 35-45mins a day.

10 rounder minimum.

The less body fat you have, the higher the performance

The less body fat you have, the higher the performance.

"For a 170 lb. athlete, a fat gain of 3.4 lbs. (2%), could result in a vertical jump height loss of 2***8221;, and a 40 yard dash time increase of 0.26 seconds. If you are not familiar with the 40 yard dash, 0.26 seconds is an eternity. This is the same sprint test all NFL football players must do at the NFL Combine, which tests the athletic ability of all the athletes before entering the league. A 0.1 second difference can mean millions of dollars."

Sumo is an exception. It was traditionally short fat guys getting fatter to make it more difficult for the opponent. It is not really a sport dealing with performing better. As for the general sports like boxing, less fat means higher performance particularly in terms of footwork (which I consider the most important thing in boxing) I suppose.

I thought I opened a new thread, but the forum put this message here (or I was daydreaming).
