    What is the difference?

    Hey guys



    So as a boxer, I only train naturally, because I'm afraid that training with weights might affect me differently.


    Could someone briefly explain me the difference between training with your own bodyweight and the difference between training with weights?
    I'll +rep you

    Training with weights will give you more muscles, so you will look better, make sure you're 18+ tho

    depends if you want to build muscle and be big, or stay smaller and fit...

    Cardio = highers metabolism and loses fat
    weights = strengthen muscles and lowers metabolism

    me i'm smaller guy, so i want to gain weight. So what I do is carbo load like a mother fucker and lift a lot of weights. not so much cardio.

    want to stay strong without all the weight gain, keep doing cardio like running and push ups and shit and don't lift as much weights

    as a boxer you should balance between both, that's what I do as a MMA fighter

    I fear that if I start using weights, my muscles would actually show more, and I might be able to put out more power, but I won't have the power that I should have with a body that you can achieve by using weights.

    I see weights as a shortcut, and thats why I never use them

    Can someone prove me wrong, if I am wrong?

    You can only get so "big" when training with your own bodyweight, but weights will take you to another level.

    Weights will build your muscle more, so you will look like one of those wrestlers or MMA fighters, but make sure that once you reach a certain amount, STOP, don't continue, or else you will look really stupid

    They take steroids. You ever heard of natural bodybuilding? I think their bodies look great.

    I can tell you don't know much about bodybuilding/lifting weights...

    really boxing is just about power. I've been doing jujitsu, muay thai, wrestling and mma for 5-6 years now and strength doesn't really matter as much as stamina, accuracy, skill, and maneuverability.

    if you are really taking this boxing seriously, then like what I do is not try to "max out" on weight but rather stick with smaller weights such as 10-15 lbs which helps. don't do as many reps, but do enough to burn fat while building some muscle tone. keep doing alot of cardio, intake alot of protein (good protein {i use soy} not that shitty creatine and stuff since that's for heavy builders). if you follow that regiment with the boxing you're already doing you can be fucking strong as hell without having so much muscle build up.

    i'm 125lbs and fighting in feather-weight but my cardio and maneuverability can definitely keep up if not do better than someone with just strength and muscle

    frost if you need any more tips or anything about boxing i'd be happy to help you, since obviously everyone else is just posting shit about steroids. My trainer was davarryl williams who is a boxer for the US olympics (called the touch of sleep for like 24 kos out of 28 fight) who trains me here in colorado

    let me know!

    MMA Artists use weights . . some of them doesn't get affected that much like anderson silva he doesn't looked that buffed
    Talking like a bad ass over the internet doesn't really make you a complete bad ass irl .
    Talking bout drugs and shit over the internet doesn't make you cooler either .
    What's on the internet stays on the internet .
