    weight lifting?

    Ok so this is my first post in this website. I've been following it for awhile but I haven't had to post anything until now.

    I'm fifteen years old. I've been boxing for about a year and three months now. I really enjoy it and hope to start fighting soon. I just need to get a good routine in and shape up. I'm not in bad shape now but my body (abs mainly) don't show it.

    I used to be about 225 pounds when i was 12 at about 5 foot tall. So ya I was fat, really fat. Since I picked up boxing and i good diet I am now 5 foot 9 or 10, 160 pounds.

    Currently my workout is Monday Wednesday and Saturday is boxing workouts.I go to the gym for like an hour and a half and spar, bag work,rope, you know the usual gym stuff. On Tuesday and Thursday I go to the YMCA and lift.

    Tuesday is back and biceps doing things like dumbell rows, seated rows, pull ups, chin ups, different types of curls. Reps usually 10-12 on back and bicep day


    Thursday I do chest and triceps. With workouts like dips, benchpress, fly's, dumbell bench, pull downs. Im doing reps of 5-3 on Chest and Tricep day. Except for dips and stuff like that then I do 10-12 reps. Then I usually end my Tuesday and Thursday workouts with 30 min on the treadmill. Since school has started It's not as easy to get everything done but I've been trying.

    I'm looking for tips, like should I lift weights like I do?Should I start doing more work outs like burpees? I started doing Squats 100, 75 , 65 reps. My legs aren't very strong. Which is something else I should probably work on. Well advice would be nice.

    I'd like to see some running in there. It will actually strengthen your legs quite a bit also, unless you're doing lots of it already.

      I probably don't do enough, just like twice a week about two - three miles each time. Thanks for the advice.

        I recently cured my shin splints so have been making up for the running i missed out on (i could only run or skip about once every month) and I have noticed the results straight away. I assume as I get back into it the results won't be as good, but at the moment I'm feeling the pain in every area other than where my shin splints were lol. Also try running backwards and sideways around an oval or something.

            I worked out the formula. eg. x amount of pressure at the speed of y in the location of z = shin splints in the location of w.

            And then I got me some shoes that absorb the pressure in that area...

                Personally, I would add more full-body exercises, such as deadlift, bench press, power clean, squat, and limit the isolation exercises, bicep curls, leg curls, etc.

                  i do abs every time i go to the gym at the end of the day and ever since i started its been helpin alot, i just do around 200 decline sit ups and other exercises.

                  and dedicate one day to a muscle group like monday for chests tuesday for backs etc. you will show more gains.

                  Definetly get more leg workouts in there
