breathing through your nose isn't better, its actually worse. you get less air when you breathe through your nose, but because of the mouthpiece you would wear while fighting, it's kind of a necessity. definately don't breathe through your nose while lifting. think of it as how you have to...

not to mention all the movement. if you're moving well, pretending you're fighting and being defensive, you'll be really winded. the extra step is breathing only through your nose. in a real sparring session you'd have a mouthpiece in and your jaw tight so you don't get hurt. it's suprising...

I've been boxing amateur for almost a year now, and now that i'm conditioned pretty well, i wanna drop a class so i've been cutting. 5 lbs so far in 7 weeks. i'm not goin for broke here, long haul to keep up my ability to train and keep my muscle. main question is, i do my roadwork and...

time released amphetamine variant to stimulate an underactive hypothamus. the idea is it stimulates the part of the brain that releases a chemical that helps you focus.

Oh yeah, just realized, where are your EFA's (essential fatty acids) in your diet? Udo's choice is a great oil that i take two tablespoons of every day, while bulking or cutting. they're important little molecules for both, and should be in your diet. spend your money on this instead of no-explode

This is an incredibly important concept for you to understand. Your wrestling buddies are different than you probably. what works for them to lose weight apparently doesnt work for you. there are many different variations on the idea of losing weight, but it all comes down to caloric deficit...

Some friends of mine are water polo players, and probably in the best overall shape of any people i know. Even though water polo is much more of an endurance sport, in their off season they do sprint work in the pool. 50m as hard as you can go, rest for 30 seconds, then 50m at 50%, and then...

I find that for myself, cutting is about proper diet yes, but if i do diet alone and not excersize i lose almost all muscle. for example, the first cutting cycle I did i went from squatting 225 to 190, benching 185 to 165, and deadlifting 290 to 275. Yes, i lost about 15 pounds in 10 weeks...

I'm aware, and the diet isn't a problem at all. I'd simply like to add some cardio. I wouldn't assume I'm looking for a cure all in a cardio program, I'm just looking for some answers about an idea I had from people more knowledgable than myself. Also, while you can't cut without propper diet...

Power racks are nice, but if you're not very afraid of a bar falling wood can support a lot of weight. 4x4's stacked with steel joining them will hold a lot of weight. Forget a bowflex. picking up heavy rocks and throwing them is better for you than that.

For the last 2 months I've been bulking quite successfully, and now i'm planning my cutting cycle. Here's my current lifting program: Monday Box Squat 5x5 Snatch Grip Deadlifts 4x5 High Pulls 4x5 SLDLs 3x8 Side Bends 4x12 Tuesday Benchpress 5x5 Standing Military Press 4x5 Reverse Fly 3x5...

Ben and Jerry's is the devil for me. Any flavor (they're all good), sometimes 2 pints.

I expected that once i learned the clean, that i could learn the snatch quickly. wow was i wrong. i tried overhead squats with just the bar , you know, just to get the "feel" of it, and fell on my ass. its such a different feeling, and i'm still having trouble with them. Plus i've always...

Good idea calling it a "Reward" day instead of a "Cheat" day. A reward doesn't have to be bad for you, just more expensive than normal, or more flavor than normal, or even more of what you normally eat, but still clean, but a cheat is always bad.
