Hi, I want to start boxing training in a few months after I finish college. I also want to put on a bit of muscle as well as I am pretty scrawny for my age. My question is how would I be able to do both at the same time? For now before starting actual boxing, I'm thinking of alternating boxing, cardio and weightlifting on days in the week. For cardio I can use an exercise bike or I could just do more rounds on the bag.
For example:
Monday - Boxing
Tuesday - Weights
Wednesday - Cardio
Thursday - Boxing
Friday - Weights
Saturday - Cardio
Sunday - Rest
I'm not exactly sure of a schedule, but that's something I'm thinking of. I don't want so much muscle that it'll slow my hand speed down (not that it'll happen) but I just want to be a little heavier with slightly less fat. I know this is probably a really bad routine, but I'm interested in the best way to do it. Thanks for reading.
