I've started training almost 8 monts ago, been almost 8 years on boxing too. I know i've been improving myself tough I didn't ever take stats until today ! 
So now i'm :
17 Years Old
5"8
167 Lbs.
8.8 % Bodyfat
Goal is to reach 180-200 lbs AND staying around 8 % bodyfat 
I was ~160 lbs before the summer ... tough i wasen't working pretty much my back and legs, since i've include them + an revamped almost perfect diet, i've gain a really nice amount of weight ... So from there I'll see on much lbs/mount I'm able to add and sunstain ! I'll keep my stats update from now on. Good luck on everyone goal and hum, have a nice day  |

You know what, if I plateau it's gonna be in fat lost, but since I can see my abs, my physique isn't bad and I don't really care about my look since I'm doing this for my boxe competitions. Fat lost is really second in my plan  |

Update !
175lbs
7.8% Bodyfat
Again, nice results
On the mirror ? I've seen major "upgrade" on my shoulder and back region ...
Using full body workouts !
Quick question here, when should I tihnk about changing my workout routine ? When I hit major plateau ? Or for better result I should switch every 2-3 months or sometin' ?
Oh yea too, I've been send free supps sample, here's my review :
Purple-k, creatine, Used it during a month, Nothing lol
Smash, pre-workout "pump-increaser" Used triple dose once, felt like taking a cup of cofee LOL
Nano-Vapor, same thing as Smash
Gakic, preworkout pills, supposed to work against fatigue toxins ... Didn't notice anything ...
X-Pand, pre-post workout, contain blood flow stimulant, glutamine, creatine etyler i think and other things ... Felt some minor changes in my workout performances and a better sleep and digest during the rest of the day.
Overall, I didn't buy anything ... |

| as long as wt is still increasing for your exercises there no real reason to change but to save you getting bored than you can change but just use a variation of the same exercise 9bb becnh to db bench, chin up to pull up etc) |

Better sleep, that's Glutamine for you.
Pills errch, false economy. Think about it, you force powder into pill shapes, you'll never get as much powder in a tub like that. Most of what you pay for then is powder, and some Gelatine.
Gelatine, to my understanding has no real benefit, and owing to it having a Protein in it, means some people like Celiacs can't tolerate it.
Pills probably cost as much or potentially more, than freeform powder, but for that Gelatine content you don't need it means you lose out.
P.S. you should have checked my site, and read my "Supplements and Bodybuilding Yeah Right" thread. I ripped on expensive designer supps good style, and it looks judging by the names of the ones you used, it looks like you took one or two. |

Update !
177 lbs.
6.8% Body Fat
Again, awsome result and fast !
Things I've changed ? Now using glutamine before bed and post-pre workout ... Really nice effects on sleep and digest !
Increase my carbs espescially on workout days, Look at the progress, I tihnk that was okay to do it !
Add interval training again in my routine ! Lost some fat as stated before
Tough I think, since i wasen't puting fat on me before, that I will put out cardio and use my day off, really off ! Better recovery and better muscle growth I guess.
Plateau ? Shoulder these damn bitches are hard to strenght ...
For the rest, Everythings goes really well ! |

| shoulders get plenty of work through chest, tricep and back exercises as well as actual shoulder exercises so they are generally over trained..if you're really wanting to increase your shoulder pressing strength then you;ll need to put bench press on the back burner to do so...not many want to drop the benches though |

I don't really think so ! Because the only moment I work my shoulder are on my third workouts out of three, and looks like :
Jump Shrugs
Squat
Millitary Press
Chin Ups/Pull Ups variations
Bench variation
Close grip bench
That's my "easy" day and still having hard time improving my shoulder press ... for sure the jump shrug and surely squat don't help to be at my 100%
Tough on other days when I do my walking lounge, lounges, deadlifts, even row and bench press variation, I "feel" the work a lot in my shoulders too ... Do you think i should try to make them stronger or give them a break for a better recovery ? |

| well you can't really rest shoulders so like i said if you wanna get them stronger you'll want to drop benches and shrugs (these aren't much good anyway) and close grip and do shoulder press first after explosive exercise |

Okay I see, shrugs aren't really good I know but jump one ? At least I work calves and traps ... That's an easy day lol
Would it be benefit to make my shoulder more stronger ? To focus on them for a while and then come back to my usual routine ? Or even with some so-so shoulder I will be able to progress for a long time before they lack ? And when I do all my coumpounds exercises that include shoulder as a secondary muscle, do my shoulders gain strengh ? Since in size, they've gain a lot in the last month. |

i'd use jump shrugs for performance (explosiveness) ove training actual muscles with it...i done them in a program a littlw while back but without the shrug as my traps (and almost enryone el;ses's too) are overactive / dominant so there's no point making it worse...andn besides you don;t calf work
there's always benefit in getting stronger but you don;t have to focus on them, just prioritse them if that's what you want to do by doing them as your first upper body exercise when you do them
volume builds muscle which is wjhy they may have grown now but too much vol for too long will overtrain them...
do you have deload weeks?
maybe you should post your full training schedule for a better overall view |
