Getting the boxer physique, from an overweight perspective

[PeasantPlayer]

I've NEVER lifted heavy on anything. I'm not opposed to it and I wish I were stronger.

For years I've been lifting at most 225x10 squats on the Smith machine 275×5 deads...75's×12 flat DB press (always DBs with me on chest press).

So you don't increase weight on your lifts and benches?

 

[PeasantPlayer]

Not much:
Squats and pullups 6 supersets
no-to-minimal rest throughout

135×20 then 10 pullups
185x15 then 10 pullups
225x10 10 PU
225 x10 10 PU
185X15 10 PU
135x20 10 PU

Been doing that same exact workout for the past several years once a week occasionally 2x week. Same exact poundage...for years. Very very occasionally I'll go up to 315x5 but not a pound more.

So you start with 135 and then increase weights and then bring it back down interesting

A colleague of mine remarked that jumprope is "cute" but REAL men train with weights.

I advised that Tyson and Ali would disagree.

Ha.... gym junkies..... jump rope is a kick butt work out. Lifting weights too much makes you stiff and way to bulky... I'm not lifting to be a bodybuilder nor is anyone else. I was doing planks at the gym and these 2 guys walk in 1 younger and 1 older and they walked past me to some weight machines (curls) they started making mocking noises I wonder if it was about me. Maybe it wasn't... Ive seen the older guy at the gym he's obnoxious talks loud makes corny jokes and yawns loudly I just want to smack him

M-F same old stuff. I rarely change things up. Same small staple of food, drink, and exercises. I train in the aft. I have two gyms very close to my work office. I switch up the gyms but not the workouts. I start work at 9 am train in the aft around 3 pm then go back to the office to eat then resume work until 8 pm.

Zero alcohol consumption M-F. I drink only water and K-cup Starbucks coffee with organic creamer. Weekends eat and drink 70% clean.

On SAT I like mountainbiking 20 miles or so stopping for intervals of 25 pushups until I get to 200-300 pushups.

EDIT I'd move the deads to the other workout containing the shrugs and farmers carries (FC are excellent for building big beefy traps and forearms). I would replace plank with squats (squats are a killer core AND trunk strengthener in my opinion).

In one workout alone you have deads and bench, which is GREAT in my opinion. Nothing wrong whatsoever with that.

But those two movements alone (deads and bench) should have you breathing hard and sweating profusely. If you're not then I advise an upgrade on intensity, weight, reps...whatever it takes to get your ass kicked...should be a torturous workout in my opinion.

? What do the s mean after some of the workouts 75s? Seconds?
