Boxer From Dublin

Off Topic Rate My Physique Photos
21

have a look at articles like 50 More Tips for Serious Athletes by Jeremy Frisch. not much about bodybuilding in there . . most are about sports performance and well being. . Waterbury. . for instance deals with olympic lifting, increasing work capacity, strength gains, power lifting. . .there’s articles on rehab stability, women, life etc.
i hear and read alot more about these topics on this website than i do bodybuilding thats what makes it such a great website

how is maintaining 3% going to be hard if he is enjoying what he is doing? granted his weight may fluctuate 3-4% etc but why mass up quick? all he’s doing there is making a mess of a weigh in. . . if he has to fight regularly and weigh in regular his mass gains should be mereley a reflection of his strength gains and functional mass not wasted ‘clean bulking’ thats not gonna help in the ring.
he will increase his strength/power to mass ratio. look very intimidating to fellow competitors and punch alot harder. . .
All it will cost him is to pass up a bit of cake now and again. . . he is ugly tho :slight_smile:

you mind not typing in caps anymore? I understand that your pissed because these guys are ragging on you for not being over 200 lbs, but this IS the rate my physique forum. the progress pics forum would probably bee a better place to post if you wanted advice on your sport(if that’s even what you’re here for; you don’t really specify). Nevertheless, I will give you input:

You have a solid physique for your weight class. As for the way you’re approaching your weight change, I would flip flop the way you are going about it. Unless you have a crucial weigh-in coming up, you’re gains would be much quicker if you were to put the weight on first, then drop back to 64 kg. If you drop to 3%, it’s going to be absurdly difficult for you to maintain while putting on muscle.

This sums it up right here.

SORRY GUYS, this is not JUST a bodybuilding website. Many of us do Oly lifting, Powerlifting, Strength training, or train for sports like boxing.

You should judge the physique based on occupation/sport and goals. Not just on bb standards, because they’re not applicable to every sport.

You’re right. This dude is obviously in great shape. Great boxing shape. I give him a 10.

Is that how easy it is when you put your picture up on rate my physique? I’m gonna get real fat and become a sumo wrestler. I’m gonna throw my pics up here and I better receive nothing less than a 10 because being fat is what my sport calls for.

Not trying to come at you, but just making a point. This is PRIMARILY a bodybuilding website. That’s why I’ll continue to rate the physiques according to bodybuilding standards.

I don’t get this talk about “small.” You’re hard as a rock and could beat us all up. I also don’t think this forum should be about rating physical size. It’s called “rate my physique.” A fighting physique is just as impressive and as hard to get as a “big” physique.

25

Great shape bro!!
I use to fight in the featherweight division (145 lbs and less) and was dominating that weight class but I had to be on a severe diet and sprinting program to lose that much bodyfat to enter that division.

Majority of bodybuilder would call you skinny, but don’t listen to them they are ignorant to your goals.As a fighter you main goals are gaining,strength,speed,agility,explosiveness,endurance but gaining massive amount of weight is definitely not to your advantage… adn they seem to not understand that you spend to much calorie boxing that its practically impossible to gain weight.

Bodybuilder thrive for size
fighter thrive for strength

I’m pretty surprise you’ve got 4+ rating because to the eye of a bodybuilder at 140 lbs you are considered extremely skinny … but hey, you’re probably (110% sure) more healthy than alot of bodybuilder.

peace

NO, THIS IS NOT PRIMARILY A BODYBUILDING SITE. T-Nation IS NOT PRIMARILY A BODYBUILDING SITE, according to my understanding. However, this particular forum, “Rate My Physique” has been, up to now, primarily used for Body Builders. That does not mean that it is EXCLUSIVELY for body builders. The forum titled “Bodybuilding” would be the one uniquely for discussions of bodybuilding.

I, for one, am glad that the boxer from Dublin has posted here. Other types of athletes need to appropriate this forum for themselves. And, yes, if someone came here as a Sumo wrestler and let it be known that he wanted to be critiqued based on the criteria used for Sumo wrestling physiques that would completely appropriate, in my honest opinion.

First of all, I just watched your video clip in your profile. The music was, um, distracting. But you’re a beast. Very aggressive.

I would totally advise against the V-Diet for right now. As a fighter in a combat sport, 3% bodyfat isn’t where you want to be. Fat serves as a literal cushion for the internal organs. And at that low a level, I’d be worried about damage.

I’m going to say this with all sincerity and no attitude, so take it as such and don’t get offended. If the Olympics are seriously a goal, then get the hell out of the Rate My Physique forum and get into the Strength Sports forum. Get your skills, speed, conditioning, and strength up to 110%, and the physique will happen on its own.

First of all, your understanding is complete crap. You’re obviously a moron.

Alright, I’m kidding. We obviously just disagree, haha.

You’re just crazy though. Any fatass can get on a good diet and good training program and get pretty lean. Provided he has the willpower and determination to stick with it. Not everyone has the genetics (uh-oh, the G word), or the ability to stuff down X amount of calories to get big.

Bigger is definitely more impressive, in my opinion, since this IS a bodybuilding website (shameless stab at Entheogens…).

A. I think you mean strive not “thrive”.
B. Show me a bodybuilder who isnt strong. I thing they “thrive” for both.
C. Ever since you got beat up for your ridiculous thread you’ve got a confrontational attitude with anyone who isnt impressed by “ripped” guys who barely weigh a buck forty. Enough, if all your gonna do is bitch about bodybuilders stop posting.

Now, enough with the thread highjack, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if you cant take opposition, DON’T POST!!

Who says that you should be able to dictate by which standards the OP is rated? If he wanted to have his physique rated by boxing standards perhaps he should have went to a web site with a more boxing dominated membership. I realize that this is not just a bodybuilding web site. However, the fact is that this is a web site composed mainly of people who’s ideal physique is more of a bodybuilder’s physique than a boxing physique.

So, despite your idea of a no-biased rating system where athletes of all sports are equal and exist in perfect harmony together, the fact is, every single person posting on this forum will be rated by bodybuilding standards by most members like it or not.

I dont know if this is directed at me but I’m pretty sure it is.
And my response is, thanks for your opinion but I dont remember posting a rate my physique thread nor asking what you thought of my physique. I’m not pretty ripped, you might think thats ripped but then again you thought you looked great with your 6 pack back in the 140s. Also, your right I’m not very big, thats why I continue to work hard. And if you think I’m not big what makes you think this 140 pounds boxer is. Your a confused man.

34

Wow T-Nation has changed in the last year… You’d have gotten the shit flamed out of you for posting this before.

You’re in fighting shape. Good job. I don’t particularly see why you’re posting your pics here, being as this forum is far more focused on size.

That being said, I hope you make the Olympics and kick ass. I love boxing, and the world needs more good Irish boxers since Ward left the game.

First off you do have a confrontational attitude and while you may feel you are just giving your opinion, you are bitching. Secondly, no one asked for your opinion on getswole’s physique and coming from someone with your fucked up sense of a good body you have no right to criticize anyone anyway.

Why would you rate the physique of someone that isn’t bodybuilding? The purpose of other sports is not physique, it’s performance, which is why there is a “performance photos” section. If you want to get your physique rated, it will be rated according to the sport that is based upon “physique rating”, which would be bodybuilding.

It would be just as stupid as a bodybuilder posting a video of his squat and bench press on elitefts, and getting all butthurt when it’s called weak, and saying “I’M A BODYBUILDER, I DON’T TRAIN FOR STRENGTH, YOU SHOULD RATE MY ABILITY IN TERMS OF BEING A BODYBUILDER”

And I say this as someone not even concerned with bodybuilding.

Best Post.

I am so sick of hearing that T-Nation is not exclusively a bbing website whenever some concentration camp victim posts his ribcage up. If there is one section (aside from the Bodybuilding forum itself) which is here for bodybuilders, it is this one. And if you want to be judged based upon your sport, there are other sections more appropriate to your aspirations.

To the OP, you look good, for a small guy. You obviously have a handle on your training and diet. I’m one of those guys who thinks this would be more appropriately not “rated,” but appreciated in the Physique and Performance photos section. When you’re here I, personally, intend to rate you from a BB point of view.

Good luck on your aspirations. It’s good to think big.
