That's fair enough

"Ive only been able to workout 3 months out of the last 3 years (is 19 years old"

** 2 days earlier**

"Im an expert on olympic lifting and have competed in lifting comps"

:rofl:rofl:roflatschatschatsch:--lol:

 

When you can't exercise that's a perfect time to lose weight... Or you want to be the best at everything apart from discipline at the dinner table?
Just listen to what PLC said.
That is the problem, you want everything right now and it sounds like you're constantly trying to inspire yourself. You need smaller more immediate goals to achieve and build on them. You're just going to get frustrated and burn yourself out with the mindset you've got. You don't need to inspire yourself by thinking about being the best you can be, just go to the gym and focus on improving your jab. When I say don't take it so seriously I mean just relax while you learn, if you have fun while you train you'll always come back and improve. To be good at anything you need to be relaxed and present in the moment, every post of yours reeks of anxiety and unrealistic expectations. I mean you're worried about performing in your first session of hitting the pads ffs.
There's no point being the fastest and strongest with incorrect technique. You need to be the fastest and strongest while throwing a punch, to do that the first step is to learn how to throw a punch. Losing weight while trying to improve different aspects of fitness is very difficult so maybe your first goal should be trying to lose some weight while practicing technique... That's what I'd be doing if I was you.

 

I like you Lefty.

 

Lol, I've been lurking on these forums for a while and I've noticed that nearly every time you post it sounds like you just finished watching Rocky or a motivational video. Really though, with your attitude it just seems like your motivation is gonna burn out after a few months or less. I was almost the same way and it came to the point where it felt like a chore to go to practice, which is not good (needless to say.. :-(). I understand that you value work ethic, I'm sure we all do, but that seriousness.. you don't even need it. It'll rip the fun out of the sport for you. My comment may not mean much to you since I don't have any posts, but I had to say it. Either way, good luck :good

 

Welcome to the forum mate, solid first post :good

 

Thanks Though, this was actually my second.
