Can I replace lifting with something else?

Replace lifting with pilates. Replace meat with soy based products. And replace gaming chicks with faggotry.

Save yourself all the effort.

ah ok. you don't like to do it. it's ok then. after all life is about staying in your comfort zone.

just never do what you don't feel like. success guaranteed.

good luck!

Would you say a reason for not enjoying lifting is because of your shit form? For me, lifting became fun when I knew my form was correct and the weight on the bar kept increasing. Lifting and becoming stronger could benefit your boxing as well.

Why not both?

Do Bodyweight exercises and boxing. Ryan Garcia also does that

I've just picked up golf. It's a hobby 5 lads in my crew do, and I thought it would be a good way to bond and spend time with my friends.

And do you know what, I suck balls. I've come dead last in all the games we played. And I expected that. Do you know what I did? I hit the driving range, worked on my long game and my short game on the putting green.

The last game I played, I didn't come last, I came second to last by 1 stroke. But fuck me did it feel good knowing all that effort payed off. And hopefully soon I'll be placing at the top.

If you want the results you got put the work in. How many boxers do you think only do boxing training? You don't think they lift or do cardio?

Sure, you could only box, just like I could have only played the 18holes every time I wanted to practice golf. But my gains would have been slow AF.

How do u be a better boxer if you dont have the strength or coordination to fo basic lifts

You dont have to do the bro plan split - but if you incorporate body weight excercises (pull ups dips etc) into boxing training and give 2/3 days a week for strong compound excercises yoh should be all right and you will notice imporvements in boxing

Maybe just do progressively harder pull ups and push ups, squats, leg raises, arm stands etc.(look up convict conditioning, eg. the basic push up is by for not the ultimate push up). The strength to move your body at will in any direction is really all the strength you need and you're much less likely to hurt yourself doing movements your body was actually designed to do. Lifting is great but it's not the only way and has lots and lots of problems unless done with absolute precision and perfect planning.

Combine that with boxing if you like it, combat sports are the shit IMO

Doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. It’s part of the course. Having a combat sport is good but being big and strong gives you a different level of respect.

I like to believe there are no rules. I feel like you too and don’t get excited about gym. I just do 3 exercises(pushups, squat jumps and planks) to stay fit. Isn’t buffed up body a society’s standard of beauty for men?
