Hi guys, a brief training history, I’m 20 years old now and started training with weights at age 15. I have been training seriously and consistently since age 18.

[image] Boxing and Working Out How would boxing affect my results in the weight traninig gym? At the moment im still trying to add weight and strength to my lifts but im also very interested in joining a boxing gym as well and going there 3 times a week. Will my gains suffer a lot... …

I think boxing would be a pretty good sport to get into except the part about getting hit in the head repeatedly and getting dumber.

First of all: There is no ‘perfect body type’ for any endeavour. Well, maybe if you want to attain elite numbers, but even then I doubt it. So do whatever you LIKE best.
