How do I tell if I’m overtraining?
 
How do you know if your body is overtrained?
Can beginners overtrain?
What does overtraining a muscle feel like?
 
If you find yourself asking these questions then you’re likely on the right path.
 
The reality is your body is designed to EXERCISE.
 
Whether its 6 times a week, or 20.
You’re probably not doing too much.
 
There is no set amount of “exercise” that is considered overtraining.
No “this many hours a day is overtraining”.
 
Keep going.
Theres no such thing as “overtraining”.
Only “under-recovering”.

Train like an animal.
Push yourself to the limits.
Then rest and recover with purpose.

Eat well. Sleep well. Hydrate well.

You can always do more.

Do girls like lean or bulky?

Which physique do girls like the most?
What looks better, lean or bulky?

Guys, all know the answer.
Ignore any girl that says she “prefers a dad bod”.
She’s coping.

She’s trying to lower your value so she doesn’t have to compete with other women.
Meanwhile, she’s secretly fantasizing about a lean, muscular man.

What most girls find physically attractive is a lean man with a good amount of muscle mass.
Generally leaner people are more attractive.

Now don’t get that confused with skinny....
Girls prefer muscular over skinny, for sure.
Nothing is more repulsive than a man who cant defend her.

But you don’t need to gain a tonne of muscle.
Just enough to be strong.

225lb bench
300lb squat and deadlift.
Big arms.

Easy benchmarks for anyone to achieve with a year of focused training.

You don’t need to be huge.
You don’t need to be shredded.

Get a bit of muscle and make sure you’re sub 10% bodyfat.
That’s it.

You will look a million times better. Both your body and face.

And your success with women will improve drastically.

How long does it take to actually get good at boxing?

Boxing, like any other skill, physical or mental...

Is not something you pick up overnight.

Learning any new skill.

Its hard. Its frustrating. You will likely give up.

But this is why its valuable.

If everyone could box - there would be no excitement in watching a devastating KO in a world title fight.

Because it is hard.

Because most will give up.

People will pay to watch.

We understand the pain, suffering, and discipline that has been endured.

And we admire it.

But with all skills - theres a difference between:

How long does it take to get good at boxing?

AND

How long does it take to get REALLY good at boxing?

For the first, the answer is -

You can get good at boxing fast.

Theres a rule for learning new skills:

20 hours

Focused practice

You will achieve competency in ANY skill.

And it doesn’t matter about age.

People think because they are too “old” they can’t learn something...

Research brain plasticity.

50 isn’t too late.

30 isn’t too late.

And 25 is definitely NOT too late to learn boxing.

Work hard at it for 20 hours, spread across 4 weeks.

You will get to a reasonably good level - and will know more of the skill than 99% of humans on earth.

Plus boxing gets you in shape VERY quickly.

Its incredibly cardio intensive and your lungs and muscles will feel on fire every time you train.

Getting you in much better shape within a similar timeframe.

Now to answer the other question:

How long does it take to get REALLY good at boxing?

How long to get world class?

Well, thats a whole other story...

10000 hours of focused practice is said to be the mark where you achieve MASTERY.

That’s 417 whole days and night.

Of: 100% focused practice.

Considering you’re likely only going to get 2-3 hours a day (MAX) of skill learning at that level...

It’s gunna take some time.

And that is why we respect it.
