Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Because a lot are working 2-3 jobs or 60+ hours to make ends meet.

I'll post what I posted in The Gym for any breh interested:
I'm 32. Took up boxing classes about a year ago. I was 6'2" 215 lbs, pretty solid. Worked my way down to 198 lbs pretty easily, going 3 - 4 times a week and being slightly more conscious of my diet. I decided to do a charity boxing match (fight in 2 weeks), so I turned up training to 6 days a week. I originally was going to fight at 185, but they're matching me up with someone coming down to 195, so I'm staying at 190.
Right now to stay at 190, I have to eat like CRAZY. I could easily drop another 10 if I wanted to. I am in the best shape of my life at 32 years old. Crazy to think about it.
Training:
There's 3 types of boxing training in my opinion:
95% of people don't go past #2, which is completely fine. You'll be in the best shape of your life and know how to two piece someone in the street. You'll be intrigued by #3 and try it out once...once you get destroyed in your first sparring, you'll question whether you want this life or not. After that it's up to you, #2 or #3? You start to realize that 99% of people on the street don't know how to fight at all, because they're not putting work in consistently to handle those situations.
Typical workouts include

Training:
There's 3 types of boxing training in my opinion:
- Cardio & hitting the bags, little emphasis on form.
- Working on form and technique, but no fighting.
- Learning how to box for real.

Typical workouts include
- Three 2 - 3 minute rounds of jumprope
- Three 2 - 3 minute rounds of shadowboxing
- Few rounds of bag work
- Few rounds of partner drills
- Few rounds of ab work
- Sparring if you want
Things to look for:
- Are you getting your money's worth? Do you feel like you get enough attention from the trainer? Is he or she correcting your form or is it just cardio?
- Are there other fighters in there training to compete?
- Does the instructor ease you into sparring or just throw you in? If you're not ready does he still push you in without concern for your health?
My max is 125 (5x), but I'm only doing bench press once a week and I weigh 135. nikkas in my family are track runners and naturally lean also.

I usually do it after I get off of work at like 12, I don't go to bed til like 4 am, so it doesn't seem as late to me as it probably does to others . I work B shift so my daily schedule is all jacked up because of it. Should I do this stuff earlier in the day? I usually get up and walk at around 11 every morning btw.

Correctbut you cared enough to' joke' about it
Dap+Reputation @Turbulent @SheWantTheDLast week I could barely do 5 sets of 5 on the 25's.
Just do 5x5 and add (5lbs) 2.5lbs on each side each workout.
I guarantee you'll be back by the end of the week.
I'm on the incline pumping the 50's!!!!!

Recovering from injury is a bytch. My shyt has yo-yo'd a lot because of it. First it was a broken ankle. Then when recovering from that would work out but had bone spurs. Once I had that surgery it felt like I wasn't right for like a year. And instead of just hitting the weights while my ankle wasn't right I let it get me down and just barely worked out at all. Then literally the first day I was able to run pain free I tore my calf muscle just putting up jump shots.
What I realized since is just basic walking to help strengthen and stabilize the basic muscles was so necessary. Especially since I have a job where I'm not on my feet. I started doing that and everything just feels so much more stable and stronger for when I do want to run and hit up cardio heavy.
I've always at least worked out 1 or 2 times a week and normally 4 or 5. After tearing the calf muscle I went like 3 months without working out and my body has never felt worse in my life. Ended up having the same shyt, couldn't sleep, putting on crazy weight and losing all the muscle tone I had, showing up as pre-diabetic. Never again.
Also try running or jogging in place for at least 10 to 20 minutes a day... that helps a lot.. people don’t know u can easily burn 9 calories a minute by jogging or running in place

Both times I blew up in weight, I then turned around and had major weight losses because I was heavy lifting.
I did heavy compound super set lifts, keeping my heart rate high at all times, sweating up a storm, small breaks in between, I was able to loose 40lbs in 2 months while also building muscle, so idk what ur talking about
