So many years has passed and you keep inspiring. You're living right bro

I used to be a swole 225 but was too slow. I got into Boxing and BJJ and now I know it's so much better being 180- 200lbs and a good fighter than 225+ and just being big.

Good job austin! Ive been boxing for 6 months and i feel so much more confident. Essential for every man

[ducatidarren]

I do calisthenics (mainly your routines) Capieira, boxing and Ju Jitsu. Balancing this with regular training with a job can be tricky. This is solid advice Austin.

[TheVillageBeast]

Calisthenics + weights for the gains 💪🏿

Love it AD. Truly inspiring how you are an example of how someone who isn’t the best at something, with consistency can improve at anything. Look forward to seeing your growth in boxing.

[erictheguapo]

Stick with it! You have it planned out perfectly, 3 times a week is right. And you will grow each month and a year from now you will be surprised how competent you are at the basics.

My routine is
Sunday - abs and light shadowbox (6 rounds)
Monday - push day + light shadowbox.
Tuesday - boxing training (short but very very intense) + bike or jump rope.
Wednesday - pull day + ligh shadowbox.
Thursday - HARD sparring or boxing training + jump rope or bike.
Friday - legs and light shadowbox.
Saturday - boxing training + jump rope or bike.
I trained with some olimpic brazilian boxers.

At 1:45 mark; Great video bro! I had a similar split. I did:

Mondays and Wednesdays - afternoon full body pull ( this includes hamstrings and glutes) and evening boxing

Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoon full body push (this includes quads and calves) and evening cardio (elliptical machine or treadmill)

Friday - Rest
Saturday - afternoon boxing and sometimes spar
Sunday - Rest

This was super helpful. I used to practice muay thai back in college and now after years I've joined classes back. They are very intensive classes and at 40 yrs of age it became quite a task to balance martial arts, weights and rest days. This came up at the right time on youtube for me

Respect coming from another amateur boxer been doing it for abit over 2 years I’ve had 2 fights but next year I’m really gonna pick it up and go for Nationals and be serious glad too see you have choose boxing I have a lot of respect for that ❤😎

Boxing is basically footwork and timing. However it takes time to get these two things to elite level. Anyone who wasn't initiated at an early age should take the flow approach to boxing. The more skill oriented your boxing work is, and the less fatigue inducing the better for self defense.

I do Powerlifting, Weightlifting and swimming.
I do MMA as a combat sport, the disciplines I practice are BJJ,  Judo,  Sambo,  Freestyle Wrestling and Muay Thai.
The most important advice I can give is not to overtrain. With consistency you will get what you want, but since you practice more disciplines it will take you longer than others. The others focus on fewer disciplines so for them the objectives to be achieved are fewer, but with patience, perseverance and discipline you will succeed, don't give up just because you see less results than others, just know that in the end you will be superior to them both in their discipline and in others.
It's a priceless feeling.

good man. been doing kickboxing as well with lifting, this a good video with value!

[imLootbox]

As an intermediate boxer that is trying to balance weight training and boxing, this video is very refreshing to see, gave me a nice example of what my week can look like.

I recommend you to also do more explosive push workout for one of your push days, this will benefit your boxing.❤

[OldschoolDresta]

I respect you a lot for letting your ego go and admitting that looking swoll and intimidating doesn’t always translate to actually knowing how to and being able to fight. The benefit is that, yes, very much so far, FAR less people will ever test or try you.
But you did the right thing by actually learning how to really fight, and not just rely on a false sense of security that just looking and even just being strong is all you need because there’s always somebody bigger and stronger. Good work man..

[moumenhassan]

Glad you’re getting into martial arts now austin
