      its recomended boxers dont bench heavy. benching too much can equal to too much muscle mass = either more weight on the boxers or the muscle can put weight into the punches holding his speed.

        bulk is mainly a question about nutrition

          True, but I would also say that it has a lot with how you train. Slow movements create larger fibers, as they're torn more "thoroughly". They're bigger, but also stiffer, and also, if you train slow, don't expect to punch fast.

          That's why most people in a normal gym lift weights slowly, while a boxer might do say dumbell snatches, where power, not strength is the aim.

            I started off benching 145 at 165, that was when I first signed up at BS, which wasn't too long ago, I hadn't taken benching seriously until then. So a couple of months later I maxed out at 210 at 175, right now I weight around 170 and can probably do 265 once. I stopped benching after I found out it made me slower in boxing, I've had some problems with tendons in my elbows they're weak for some reason. If they were 100% I wouldn't have a doubt that I could probably max at probably 290 or even 300, which would be a ****load of an increase. Pretty impressive if I could do that, I'm only 16. My friend Albert can do 300 at 16 right now, he's like 170 like me little bit shorter than me, I'm around 6'1.

            I've decided to stick to push ups, and using my bodyweight for exercising.
