Boxing and Bodybuilding

[tuff253]

Hey guys


I want to do both Boxing and bodybuilding and my question is how does boxing affect my muscle gains if at all? I train hard with body building then do 1 hours worth of boxing straight after it. Are then any tips in achieving maximum muscle gains if boxing promotes muscle loss?

I'm worried that muscle gains will lack. My goal is to gain muscle and improve fitness and fighting. I'm not worried about losing fat (I'm an ectomorph so I'll lose fat blinking) but right now I have lost 2.5kg's from boxing and its going to affect my weight training as it will reduce strength.



Thanks

Have a muscle milk after your lifting and after your boxing and you should be fine. I do Aikido sparring for 90 minute sessions with no noticeable muscle loss. My gains are still steady.

Why do you keep telling people to drink Muscle Milk, you get a cut of the sales?

OP, you just have to eat right. If you do that, no problems..

No, I drink other brands as well. But MM has a balance of carbs and fats which you'll need when doing cardio or recovering from it. Brands like Pure Protein have much more protein, but hardly any fat or carbs, hence you'll burn through the low amount of calories and almost none of the protein really gets used as intended. The carbs and fat provide the energy so the protein can be used by the muscles. Doesn't have to be MM, just any brand with a balance. In fact, he could probably even use gainer for a similar effect.

I like Muscle Milk too. It's a good product.

But I'll only press their flesh if they pay me

Depends if you count on getting big, or just ripped for BB'ing

If you want to get massive, boxing will become too difficult and you'll end up putting on weight and slow down and you'll end up fighting people who are natually that weight and fast as fook
