[Godspk]

I'm a coach and i go to boxing.

Barely have time with the gym but i still have my 6 packs. Almost 8 the last 2 are a bit smaller then the others.

My point is...

* Gym

* Boxing

??

[Tom (Rendition)]

I don't get your point lol

[Godspk]

I don't get your point lol

To gain muscle mass and get ur packs on ur stomache bigger etc. Because i find boxing really good for that.

[Steroids]

the point is he's scrawny.

Still don't really get it.

I'm not six pack hunting, and boxing certainly won't help with muscle mass.

I do kickboxing as part of MMA, but i wouldn't consider it a stomach workout, back of shoulders is where I feel it the most.

Thats the respond i needed ty.

Considering spending more time in the gym than boxing.

[Tom (Rendition)]

If you exercise for aesthetics, then gym will do more for you than boxing.  Boxing is good for making you look toned as it is such a fast calorie burner, but as I said earlier, you won't ever look big on boxing alone.

Aesthetics is only a small part of why I exercise; so for me....I'm probably gonna in the future go to the less more frequently and train MMA more.

[Tom (Rendition)]

tom. why the fuck do u do 40x5 45x5 then 47.5 x5, u could do 40x3 then 47.5x7-8, the 47 is what actually counts mate. you need a feel for the weight not to burn urself out before hand! also y allways 5 reps, should go till failure (unless u do).

Cos thats what my routine says lol.  The top set is a weight I can do 5 reps max on.  I guess what you are saying makes sense.  So if you were me on military, you would do -

40*3

47.5*8*3?

And burn sets on top?

Or if it was next week -

40*3

50*5*3

Burn sets?

Edit: But I kinda like working up in 5 rep sets to 10% off my 1rm, then finishing on higher rep burn sets.  My body responds well to it.

[Reevesy]

no man just the 1 set lol for as many reps as humanly possible. then u up the weight each time by 2.5kg doing the same, until u peak, then u go back down and beat all previous reps on all weights

edit: as for burn sets, wutever, i dont do em but u can lol

[Tom (Rendition)]
