Help!

perfect age and weight to really do some damage. I wouldn't even worry about your weight right now. All I would do is just worry about learning technique and finding a good coach.

 

You shouldn't worry about weight. There's no point in going up weight. Worry about eating correctly and training hard. Your weight changes when your body feels that it needs to.

 

Depends on what facilities you are counting on for the exercises. I would suggest for you to run, swim, do pull ups, chin ups, push ups, abs, squats, work you lower back, neck etc. Learn boxing technice well and with dedication you will see grea results.

 

eat more and lift weights but you have got to eat more.

 

At your age you shouldn't worry about working the weights. You don't want to stunt your growth for sure. Optimally wrestlers want to be shorter, boxers want to be taller.
Do some circuits of pushups, then situps, 3 or 4 circuits of these two. If you havent done these things yet, a good starting point is to do as many pushups as you can in the first set, but cut out the last 5, same with the situps. Do 3-4 sets, and slowly increase repititions when you can do the set amounts easily. Do these everyday, but importantly make sure you are keeping good form. Explode up, and slowly control your body back down.
Also join the wrestling team of your high school. The balance you will acquire is so important for boxing. Punching power, slipping, footwork. Wrestling will also teach you discipline. You won't need a conditioning coach after going through 4 years of that ****. You will just know how to whip yourself. glgl

 

If you're 15 and going to school... the focus on hypertrophy will definitely interfer/hinder your boxing, as you will be at a new weight class without any additional skill (since your efforts will be moreso on the school and gaining weight) or natural strength in comparison to the other guys - but I will stay on topic as requested. A calories surplus combined with resistance training will cause hypertrophy if gaining weight is your goal. The type of hypertrophy will be determined by the workout program you choose to do. You can get bigger off any food, but you will function and look better with a majority good diet (don't forget the surplus part), a multivitamin, and fish oil. Cheating won't hurt you - you have to live a little too, just don't make an average day be 3 trips at one of your local fast food joints. Choose whatever resistance program you want as long as it doesn't follow the basic 3X8-15 bodybuilding **** with a bunch of machines and isolations. The more muscle groups you work, the better the exercise is. Free weights (whether it's barbells, dumbbells, or some random strong-man objects) and bodyweight exercises are the right ways to go.

typical weight-lifting: bench, military press, rows, chinups, squat, deadlift.
typical bodyweight: pushups, dips, supine rows, pullups, squats, bridges.

A program that contains only or almost only the basic 6 exercises is the simplest, easiest way to reach your goal. You can design/combine a workout program using the above to meet your goals. IE: Let's say that you liked the basic weight-lifting program but you felt that the bench press is a worthless open-chained exercise and that a one-arm pushup progression program would be more interesting to you, you would just replace the bench (a horizontal push exercise) with another horizontal push one (pushups). If you don't feel like designing your own, rippetoes and westside have enough success stories to show their programs mixed with a lot of food will allow you to grow. Hope this helps.

 

weights don't stunt your growth, incorrect form does

 

He is 15 not 3 years old. The stung your growth myth is a bunch of bull****.

 

no, if u do them with poor form or weight too heavy you might
im 6'4 220lbs and i squat 3 times a week :good

 

I agree with those who suggested working on skills instead of worrying about weight. You'll get bigger as you mature.
