Do whichever one you would rather do. Out of the two I'd recommend boxing, but it has to be something that you will enjoy and keep doing, otherwise you'll just get bored after a week or something.

Really? Thanks for clearing that up. Of course it's an exercise. It was just the fact that he was asking if both boxing and weight training will make him lose fat, when it should be obvious to any...

Well obviously boxing will get you in great shape and make you a better fighter. It won't make you much stronger though. That's what WEIGHTS are for.

Losing fat comes with EXERCISE. Just get off...

I don't know. Only you can know what's best for your body. I ave no idea how quickly your body can recover from working out or exercising or if you'll be able to cope with doing both. What do you...

Why limit yourself to just lifting or cardio? Do both on alternate days. Start off using Rippetoe's program, it seems to get good results for noobs. Whatever you do, just make sure you're doing...

That's good work man, I like the progress. Keep going.

And do you already take whey protein? Because if you don't then I'd start with that.

Well I definitely wouldn't just have a 'bicep' day or something. If you do just one body part a day you'll probably overtrain some of the parts that are used in compound lifts and stuff.

And 3...

OK maybe one side doesn't quite do ALL the work while the other one does nothing, but people DO often work one side more than the other. I've seen it where people can't curl the same amount of weight...

As long as you can motivate yourself to work out just as much as you would if you had a gym membership. Remember, it's a lot easier to skip a workout if you work out at home because you can just say...

I have a pretty decent build but I can do a bit more than you mate!

But yeah, remember "the body becomes its function". So if you run more, the body will get used to running more. It's the only...

If you work both muscles the same, ie with the same sets and reps, then obviously if your left side is weaker then it will be working harder, so it will even itself out eventually. Just don't ever...

Some people......

Yeah, it's pointless just adding mass if it detracts from the skill aspect, and you still need to be able to perform. But if you can get bigger and stronger while maintaining athletic ability,...

You do know this was a joke topic, right?

I see flapjackson didn't exactly go for subtlety with his post there......

Yeah, everyone is different I guess. And it's not like you won't make any gains on 4-6 reps whoever you are, it's still lifting weights.

I tend to cycle my reps, so I do a few months low reps like...

Well, I always thought it was obvious, the less reps you do, the more you're focusing on strength rather than hypertrophy, which is why a lot of powerlifters/strongmen train with singles and doubles...

Are you joking?

6-12 reps = best for mass

4-6 is more strength building mate, although it varies for everyone.


And to be fair, the traps respond to pretty much anything. They grow faster...

Doesn't eating more often speed up the metabolism as well? i.e. eating 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.

Yep, leaning forward for dips is a great exercise. Up there with the best IMO.
