Working the same muscle groups on consecutive days.

hypertrophy or max strength training should not be done on consecutive days
but endurance can and also power training(light/medium weights without going to failure)

 

If you keep strength training muscle tissue everyday, it'll begin to cannibalize itself, reducing muscle size, strength... everything.

Which is what maybe Chris Byrd and DLH did to reduce weight in their last fights.

 

It can have some merit if done right. But u can only do it for short periods of time to shock yuor body.

But dont do something like a full chest workout and then back it up the next day. It needs to be more of a full body weights session, or just upperbody. A 50 minute pump of chest/shoulders/back followed up the next day, then rest day, then do it again can rip u up. But only do it for 2 or 3 weeks max to shock yourself. And the second day should be a little lighter and higher reps.

 

Hmm. In my opinion I would classify manual labor as GPP training rather than strength training. This kind of training is way more beneficial for a boxer than just pure strength training. That's why all of the oldschool boxers didn't have to lift barbells and dumbbells, because they were too busy lifting all of these random heavy ass awkward objects for 8+ hours a day. IMO I think that still stands for today too. If you work somewhere lazy or light, strength training becomes a necessary add-on (not replacement) for your boxing training. If you do manual labor for 40+ hours a week, the oldschool basics are all you really need. As for James Braddock - he had a broken right hand (didn't he?) and had to use his left hand primarily (despite being a righty). Frequency + Specificity of an exercise (any exercise) will get you stronger in that department (IE: using his left hand all the time for work). My 2 cents.

 

I work the muscle group between my toes and my neck nearly every day

 

You can work that muscle out 2-3 times a day, at least...

Or so I've been told...

 

Bingo. Infact its counter productive. Im sure both DLH and Byrd were on carb free diets to get that low aswell.

 

And they both got their asses kicked as well

 

honestly...i had physical therapy and my orthopedic doctor told me that working out everyday is ok and should be done for people around my age (20). he explained to me that the reason y most ppl usually say to not do it everyday is because that rule was made for ATHLETES who sometimes train for 6-8 hours everyday. i asked him what about w/ lifting weights for 2 hours every work out and he said go for it everday.
PERSONALLY
don't work out until you are uncomfortable!!!! test your body and push it lightly. until the age around 24-25 (sometimes younger or even older) your testosterone levels and everything decrease and u won't be able to. PLUS the fact that around that age most of us will have 40 hr a week jobs and possible kids PLUS possibly wife/husband (for u amy since i KNOW ur a girl lol) so my view is sort of work it while u have it so u won't be **** out of luck when ur older worrying about ur gut
atleast do body weight exercises in between the days of weight lifting and i'm sure u will still have a great work out the next day

 

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalse.

 

hmmmmm

 

I've got a question on the same subject. I've bodged myself together a pull-up bar at work, will it do me any good to do 3x5 pullups for 5 days in a row? Or would I develop quicker by leaving a days rest between each lot?
