Do protein bars and shakes help build muscle for boxing?

If you need to ask; you don't need to invest in them.

Bars, in my opinion, are just bad for the teeth.

 

So do you prepare everything he consumes when in training or does he ever nip out to a restaurant with friends or family? Does he ever snack? If so, do you monitor that and scold him when he slips up? Do you thump him on the head with a rolling pin when you catch him in the act, orange-handed with a bag of Cheetos? :yep

 

once I start feeding him, he wont eat anything unless I make it (8 weeks worth) of meals.... early in camp ,like first 2 weeks, we might go for some sushi with the team to get me a night off... but thats about it

 

hmm.
Eating more protein is more important when you lose weight and don't want to lose much muscle.
To bulk up/build muscle, eat more carbs and just be sure protein intake is just enough.

 

They do, but it is better to get that protein from whole food sources.

 

Lol.

 

A welterweight can train his body to put on muscle so he's now a heavyweight, but guess what happens when that natural welterweight who has put on muscle decides to compete in the heavyweight class.

You build your body for strength and conditioning FOR boxing, and for this you can't dictate what your body type is...it is what it is.

If you build your body to put on muscle FOR boxing, then like I said you're doing it wrong.
