Gaining Mass Advice (Need Help)

it is more important for you to box than lift weights as you are a boxer.

 

why you doing weights then

if your vunerable to body shots just do more sit ups, and take more shots to the body in sparring so you toughen up

 

i cant see ot doing any harm to spar the day after lifting weights as long as you take in a lot of protein.
are you trying to move up in weight classes?

 

Well you are lifting the weights right, high weight and low reps build mass so that's a good start. I am very big into lifting weights so I can help you a little here...
When you lift, don't work out your full body, I do 2 muscle groups a day for 5 days
Mon-Chest/Tri's
Tues-Biceps/Shoulders
Wed-Legs/Back
Thurs-Chest/Tris
Fri-Biceps/Shoulders
You also should be getting a balanced diet of protein carbs (simple and complex), and fat (YES FAT). Your diet should be 40% protein 40% carbs and 20% fat. (this is what helped me gain mass anyway as i was tall and thin too).
You should try to take in 1.5-2 grams of protein for every pound of body weight. I have a very fast metabolism so i needed to take in around 4-5k calories a day to gain weight.

Let me know if you have more questions

 

If you want to build mass, then the core of your workout should be from a mass building perspective, and the boxing should fit around this. Personally, I do not endorse mass building programmes for boxers, but if you wish to proceed down this route, I would look at the three following programmes.

Westside for skinny *******s - Defranco

5x5 - Bill Starr

Starting Strength - Kilgore and Rippetoe

Google them, read them, follow trhe programmes - don't mess with them, and eat like a mofo.

 

i want to start boxing but i also fear i might simply be the wrong shape, im 5 foot 9 and 9 stone 3 ive managed to put on 3 pounds by weight training then resting the next day but its hard to put bulk on around the mid section

 

Awful training schedule for a boxer.

 

You are going to want to lift 3 days a week on SUN/WED/FRI. This will leave you fresh for your Tuesday sparring, which is a lot more important than your strength training. Perform your lifting AFTER your boxing workouts. Here's a SAMPLE workout you could do that will strengthen the whole body in a structurally balanced fashion (calorie surplus + resistance training determines mass increase). If you don't like it, any of Bodi's workouts will work well and like he said, don't **** with the program layouts...

WEEK 1:
SUN - WORKOUT A (Squat, Bench, Row)
WED - WORKOUT B (Deadlift, Weighted Chins, Weighted Dips)
FRI - WORKOUT A (Squat, Bench, Row)

WEEK 2:
SUN - WORKOUT B (Deadlift, Weighted Chins, Weighted Dips)
WED - WORKOUT A (Squat, Bench, Row)
FRI - WORKOUT B (Deadlift, Weighted Chins, Weighted Dips)

REPEAT.

 

..I think sparring more, and learning to breathe well would help you take the body shots more than putting on weight..

Im pretty skinny, about 130, 5'6,.5, not really tall, but just a light build I guess.. I take body shots pretty well, get my wind knocked out when I get surprised though.
