If you were a professional boxer...

YEy i totally agree with you, people here are overestimating there fighting weight by probably 20 to 25 lbs.

 

I had chili spaghetti for lunch, what do you think? :yep

Although I did run 4 miles yesterday...

 

I actually am on the verge of having a few fights...I am 5'6, 147. My trainer tells me I'll have to get down to 135, which breaks my heart, because I don't want to lose any of this muscle I've worked hard to build over the last 6 months...but it's either weight lifting of boxing...gott choose one.

 

How tall are you, Addie?

 

5 foots 9 " and 155 lbs

I guess i could make 147lbs!

 

first of all in 6 months of weight lifting you couldnt have build that much muscle it takes yrs of weight lifting to build a lot of muscle.. secondly boxing is a sport where you need to be as small as you can.. is either boxing or looking good for the girls at the beach.. you cant have both.. i always wanted to gain weight and get big but while i boxed i couldnt do it.. i lifted weights but for strenght not to get big.. now i can get as big as i want since i dont box but just an advise lose the pounds it'll help you in the ring

:hat

 

I actually build quite a bit of muscle rather quickly. A lot of people comment on how much my body has changed in 6 months. When I started, I weighed 135, now I weigh 147...actually, about 145. Is that 10 pounds of muscle I gained? Considering I kept eating the same (not like I started eating more) I think MOST of it might be muscle.

But I feel you on the "boxing or looking good on the beach" thing...I've just started back up boxing again, but at the age of 30, maybe a better option for me is to look good on the beach.

 

5'10 Lightweight

 

heavyweight and im knocking the mofos out..

 

5'8 brother.

 

I know how you feel i weigh 205 but i know i should get down to 175,180 if i wanna lose the gut. However ive been lifting faitfully for over a year 4to 5 x a week, i know ill have to sacrifice losing the muscle ive busted ass on getting. I did it backwards i should have done more cardio and less lifting in the beginning. Right know i do a whole lot of both but im just maintaining the weight.

 

If I trained hard I could make 135 im curretly at about 155 now but havent trained properly in over a year.

 

I'm 6' and currently walk around at 147, could get down to 140 easily.

 

super middle

 

i think dieting might be the toughest part of boxing cuz not only do u have to train hard but u have to maintain your weight thats why boxers are among the most discplined athletes in the world
