What Muscles to Build Up?

Training Bodybuilding
1

Hey i wanna know what type of program i should be on to build over certain bones that are visible on my shoulder. I’m a boxer so i’m looking to take as short a period off my boxing training to build this muscle mass. Any advice or anything would be appreciated. Thanx

My bones show too. When I posted my pic everyone told I had to build up my entire body. I imagine you’d get the same advice.

That almost looks photoshopped, but I’m sure it isn;t.
Off hand I’d say clavicular portion of pecs and anterior delts, but it won;t work that way…you need to gain mass all over and with overall body mass you will gain a cover over these. If youre a boxer trying to stay within a weight class, you could try overhead presses, incline DBs, even smith bench to neck, front raises with DBs to see a slight improvement but there is fucking way you’ll build that portion up substantially by itself without putting on at least some overall mass - work every muscle group, compound lifts, adequate accessory work, calories, protein, supplements - the whole shebang.

That’s because it’s good advice. Particular because you use your everything in boxing.

Is that some kind of gay pubic tattoo, no it’s a camera.

Muscles? All of them. I would emphasize bench presses, push jerk/push press, log press if you have it, deadlift, rack pull and cleans.

thats smart advice.

Yeah, my understand is that any “spot work” should be left tell after you’ve built a solid foundation…which neither you or me have. You’re worrying about spots when you need to think “big picture”.

Please put on some muscle mass and eat food. You’re whole body looks malnourished.

Im not really concerned about staying in a weight class as its just amature. Im really wondering what time im looking at putting in the Weights room, and what time im looking at spending off the boxing training. I know it’ll be nearly impossible to do both :/. Unless there is a special boxers program for gaining mass…then please link to that too :slight_smile: heh

btw im 18(in 2 weeks)
71kg
1m 81cm

Not sure in Pound and Feet.

I would eat. And lift heavy ass weight.

I dont want to take longer then 3 months off. So an all around mass building program will be good. Each day focusing different areas yes? Should i be doing any cardio during this 3 month period if i want to bulk as much as possible? stuff like Skipping or jogging?

any more advice guys?

one post ago you say you aren’t too concerned cause its just amateur boxing. and now you are talking about only lifting for 3 months? in 3 months i assume you could put on 7-10 pounds as a beginner with a really good work ethic and decent knowledge of lifting but from the sounds of it you just want some get-big-quick scheme.

you need to start lifting heavy and eating big for a consistently long while if you want to transform that malnourished ethiopian look into a regular looking man. why cant you lift and box at the same time, indefinately? most boxers i have seen are extremely shredded, you just look skinny fat

16

Well since your just getting into lifting, you could start with a 3 day a week Total Body Training regiment with Boxing work on all your non weighted days.

17

Though I’m a believer in a split routine, like upper body/lowerbody splits and a rest day every 3rd day. Or push/pull splits.

18

go to the right and go a few threads down until you hit beginners. Train for 2 hours for every 15 minutes of reading about the perfect program.

i used to b 85kg really round and fat. i lost bout 15kg in 2 months by doing a stupid diet of hardly eatting anything, my doctor said that i lost quite abit of muscle doing that too, which i was angry about. I kno quite abit about weights and things i can do to gain it back, just really unsure how to mix it with boxing because i train 5 days a week. if i break it up to 3 and 3, i wont be getting much rest.

Like Sunday weights, Monday boxing, tue weights, wed boxing, thursday weights, friday boxing. Pretty sure they say when u want to bulk you gotta eat like a fat beast and rest alot. Thats why im asking if mixing with boxing is a good idea if i wanna jst do a short period of bulking.

Check out his ‘Westside for Skinny Bastards’ program. I’m pretty sure the 3rd installment addresses your issue. If it doesn’t, try the Q and A section.

Thanks i may actually try that ws4sb program actually…sounds interesting.

oh and btw i could post some pictures of myself that make me look a hole lot bigger and less ethiopian, but the hole point was to show u the bones sticking out near da shoulders.
