  • yes, they are smaller, aerobic, slow twitch muscle fibers. my endurence comment was more related to delivering oxygen to the muscle, but was sloppy. was waiting for someone to poke me over it :-)

    smaller functional muscle fibre size is one of the reasons you will often see very svelte endurance athletes.

    you can build both slow twitch and the 2 types of fast twitch muscle fibers simultaneously with well planned workouts, but dont worry too much about this. your body will adapt to whatever you train for, just keep a good mix of everything you have mentioned so far and your body will respond.

    never neglect the cardio though. a resonable mix of HIIT cardio will add aerobic capacity without sacrificing muscle mass or size. your high rep. punches with 16oz gloves will take care of shoulder endurance.



  • if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

    fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

    good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.








  • But hit the gym guys. Be ready.

    absolutely!

    • learn to jab and cross (sometimes its all you need. seriously!)
    • learn a little takedown defense
    • get comfortable in a ground scramble to get upright fast
    • quality muay thai is fantastic for standup and a quick learn for mid/close range striking
    • bjj if you have time (of limited use outside of pure one on one, but good bjj is personal development rocket fuel)
    • learn a firearm if thats your vibe

    no heros needed, but intelligently help to defend youself and your fam as best as you can.






  • “You grew up in South Africa,” Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law and Fox News host, said in the new interview. “You lived during a period of Apartheid. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of horrific things. So to be called a Nazi by people, to be made out to be this monster, that must be really hard for you.”

    motherf*cker, you and your ilk were the oppressors. everything pre and post indicates that it was perfectly fine with you and yours. “white” washing at its finest. now, gtfo!





  • what I see so far is a lot of signalling - and thats important for base support. the talk gets refined for palatability to a wider audience as time passes.

    if he stakes out fIrmly articulated progressive positions then I might get slightly interested. until then, he’s just another billionaire that should not exist, rhetoric be damned. gonna take a whole lot to shake the triangulating politico smell.

    anyone able to give some constituancy specific info?

    edit: we dont need a hero. we need a movement directing a leader.
