If you intend to continue boxing, dont get tooo hung up on Mass building at once or you will get quite rigid.

Make sure you stretch for at least 10 mins after every weight session.

Trust me after a PL'ing cycle, I was sooo rigid, I couldnt even do knee sweeps for MMA !

Pick up some oly lifts.. mainly Hang Cleans... they are great for explosive strenght in punching/grappling.

Also a lot off stuff like some off the isolation work and super setting, doesnt seem to help build either strenght or size.. think off it as the "Carving on a sculpture"... it helps shape the muscles.

I dont think you care soo much what your rear delts look like in the ring, just how fast and hard you can hit and block..... so more emphasis on basics.

For legs Add in squats/box squats/front squats/Leg Press/Deads/Stiff Legged Deads/Rack Deads/Deficit Box Pulls/ Good mornings.... Work your way down to the 3 - 8 rep range and you will pile on essential strenght.. some size will come with this.

Forget regulart 40 min treadmill type cardio sessions and add in GPP/HIIT.

GPP sessions twice a week wil dramatically bring up your endurance/strenght and work capacity... read up on it.

Train Hard, Fight Hard.

Thanks for feed back guys....

1. my lats... I will try and pose em out more next time. I was trying to squeeze my shoulder blades together to my it go wormy.

As Cammo suggested ill hit the wide grips hard this week. And I will replace my poll hugs(which are close grip) with soup cleans ( the wide grip hanging under the BP bar with feet on a bench.

2. thanks for complements on shoulders.... funnily enough I have done very little shoulder work (presses) because my TP has shoulder problems.

but they usually get sore after rowing movments which means they must get worked there...

3. my Legs.... now thats the thing, check out the weights i use for my squat and leg press.... I dont actually have legs.

and to make matters worse Im quite tall aprox 6'2 dispropotionately longer legs.

4. varven mentioned goals (BB or boxing) The more I learn the more I know every muscle is used in boxing. legs and back included.

But I do have an prority in my training for core strength. which is why I like the free form exercises best. I like to hold a high guard and invite body shots.

5. 2guns... she is asain and likes to "leave her mark". not gf tho.

3 more months till next pics.

'Leave her mark' - f*ck you are continuously cracking me up dude.... :pfft: :pfft: :pfft:

Nice bod mate - as everyone has said, a great base for a better future. Why not post up some leg pics as well - my better motivation for you train them harder if you think they are lagging.

I'm 6'2 as well bro and my legs ain't too bad - to get them growing it takes some heavy fucking ass to grass squats week in , week out.

Get some BB work in there mate. My flat BB presses are suffering because I stuck to nothing but DB work for too long when I started out.

Flat bench BB then Incline DB seems to be the most common plan of attack.

Next week....

I have just cycled a month of DB BP's into my training for variation...

The BB BP is one of my fav exercises.... It has been difficult to restrain myself from doing it.

but as I said next week (ooo it feels like chrismas is coming early :) i get to BB BP :) :) :D:):D

The rear delts were an EXAMPLE.. the muscle part could have been anything.. calf/tricep whatever.

I am not pro or even amateur mma.. its just an interest/variation for me.

Im a powerlifter at heart :)

Im 21 ...

Ok didnt get what you ment sorry. :)

but as a genral rule bigger muscles are stronger (within the indivdual) and

good looking muscles are usually achieved with low fat %.

I dont want to go spending all my wieght alocation on fat.

If I am a modern day gladiator.... then muscles are my armor and my sword. :pfft:

hmmm... 100 chins - good stuff.

That sounds like a good idea for my nxt back w/out.

thnx...

this was the noobie version of a hardout training session i read about.

where the a young guy wanted to train with a pro.... the pro said "ok if you pass a test"

the test was straped into wide grip chin up position. then duct taped in.

and left hanging untill he completed 100 chin ups.

extreme huh? I would love to try it some day, when im stronger.
