should i lift?

im a weightlifter turned boxer.. 19 years old.. 265 lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks.. im not fat i just have a gut.. and now that im training for boxing 5x a week... im to gassed to lift heavy afterwards.. i dont want to lose my muscle.. should i lift light in the morning.. or lift light after my workouts.. or should i cut weightlifting completely out

 

I don't get why you think you need to lift light?

If you want to maintain your muscle mass and strength you gotta lift heavy, otherwise your body will get rid of the muscle as it's not needed to lift heavy things...

Lift weights in the mornings but just stick to 2-4 heavy compound lifts.

 

Lift no more then twice a week.

 

i think im just gonna do a full body workout on tuesdays and fridays (the days i train by myself)

 

Why not 3? Not saying he should lift 3 times a week just wondering why it looks like you said that like it's a rule or something.

 

**** that, lift weights before and after you box. This will improve your typle L-M-N-O-P muscle fibers which effect endurance in an anaerobic and an aerobic way. :good

j/k.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Do you want to compete in boxing? If so I'd get rid of the excess mass as quick as I can.

 

yes i do... well im cutting down to 210-220.. i dont want to lose my strength

 

Should he lift full body routine or split....?

I think he should do two full body routines aweek, coupled this with his boxing trainning sessions.

And i don't think he should do weight trainning on his boxing days.

 

This.

 

this is what i believe im gonna do.. i have boxing class with my coach Slagowski 3 days a week.. monday wednesday and thurs.... and i train by myself on tuesday and friday.. basic training with no mitts or sparring... i think im gonna do a fullbody lift on tuesday and friday before i train

 

What do you do by yourself..?

 

shadowbox, lots of skipping rope, rotating rounds on all of our Heavybags.. speedbag.. and pushups and crunches

i have alot of weight to lose so i have to workout those days
