i'll kick things off.
I've been training boxing/bjj/muay thai off and on for the last 10 years (more off than on if i'm being honest). In the last 6 months i've really ramped back up but focusing on boxing.
yall - i gained 33 pounds over the last 2 years with lockdowns and all that shyt
(and i was already overweight when lockdown started lol ~198 pounds.. i've lost 11 of the pounds so far.. at my fighting best i was probably 165-175. but this was already years ago.
Have any of yall fluctuated in weight like this? i'm definitely way slower than i was before --> i'm wondering if i'll ever regain my old speed if i keep shedding the the weight.
Anyway besides the fact i feel like i'm heavy as fukk training has been going well. I kinda luck out in sparring because I'm always paired with guys my height rather than my weight, mostly because i'm 5'9 and the rest of the dudes my weight are way taller than me. I'm no dummy though, i know the taller dudes who are my weight would whoop the shyt outta me.
.
Anyway feel free to flame me for my current weight situation, will motivate me to stay in the gym
