weight gainer

for what reason do you want to gain weight for aesthtic or performance purposes

 

Eat food.

 

so dropping to 178 is completely out of the question?

 

As long as your training hard. To gain some weight eat a peanut butter and bannana sandwich with a glass of milk before you go to bed. It is cheap and will put the weight on. You don't need to worry about fat gain with the schedule it sounds like that you keep.

 

Talk to your trainer about dropping the jogs for sprints. It will help you for explosiveness anyway. It won't make a huge diff. as you aren't running extremely far at 3 miles or too often, but it will help and especially if you work a diet for gaining around it.

 

Nope.

Chances are you are doing plenty of cardio, if you are training regularly, rope skipping etc...

Running is notorious for eating up the weight, which is good if you want that, but it's benefits can be found in other things. Every boxer should be doing some form of sprints anyway.

 

Lift some weights.
Eat a lot of food. If you can't gain weight you're not eating enough.

 

Remember guys muscle maturity doesnt happen until your late 20`s early 30`s and beyond. If his fairly young he may find his hard gainer and his metabolism will be much quicker.

 

haha, still do sprints. Seriously.

I do them on a rotation, one day jogging, one day sprints. One day off a week for rest. That isn't always convenient for people. Some combine it with their jogging. Before or after their jog. And it can also be done while you are jogging. If you are jogging on a road that has telephone poles...you can work out a system...like say jog 3 or 4 poles, sprint the next, repeat. It is just that it helps add an element of explosiveness to that stamina you are seeking.
