I train around 2 hrs a day 6 days a week, this should be enough to keep my weight gain healthy, right?

to be honest mate if you're trying to bulk up it's best to keep your weight training sessions short but intense - sometimes even half an hour can be enough. make sure as soon as you finish you take some protein in - eg a whey protein shake. and rest your body between weights sessions, as this is when your muscles recover.
as for getting fat i wouldnt worry too much about it, besides training in the madagascar heat, its probably easy for you to lose weight anyway

Yeah except I can't actually rest between strength training, I train in boxing I'm not a bodybuilder.

I guess the whole place is nice except the cities. The capital is one of the most polluted cities on Earth, actually the second-most I think behind Bangkok. Its disgusting, and not 'awesome' disgusting. Like real disgusting.

Aren't I some travel agent.

In a bygone era boxers didn't worry about fat and muscle, they just got in good enough shape to fight 15 rounds. If you get in that kind of shape, you won't have to worry about being mistaken for the Goodyear blimp.

Not even true, old timers had to keep weight too.

And thats not even the point. The point is I have a 4-5 kg free zone to do what I want with, and I want to make sure that I use it to increase my power through purely muscle gain and not just 'take it easy' and put on whatever weight comes.

An 800 cal surplus is going to bring a pretty good amount of fat gain on a bulk. The slower you do it, the more LBM you'll put on without additional fat. Aim for a 200-500 cal/day surplus.

Counting calories is for fanciful folks.

Good luck trying to bulk up a well conditioned, very active endurance athlete on 200 calories a day extra!

and just to make things more complicated, I'm set to debut on the 25th... torn between whether to try my luck against a 69 kg fighter at my 65 kg or stuff my face and hope it doesn't affect my performance.

MrSmall · 06-14-2011, 05:05 AM

First fight, don't worry about your weight.
Train hard, and eat well.
Don't try and overeat or anything.
25th of what, June?
That's 10 days away, you probably won't gain 10lbs in ten days and if you do I doubt it will help you in the sport of boxing!
