    Default new to boxing got a question

    Hey everyone im 16 years old male and all that. my first question is i broke(shatered is more like it) my arm little more then a year ago(left one) and when i had the surgery my doctor told my i have more muscle then other kids my age (i have 4 screws) but ive noticed a loss and no matter how hard i try the right one still is so much stronger, i was wondering if someone could give me advice on strenghting that arm back up to where the right one is at?

    Sorry to hear that ,at least at your your young age you will repair with less permanent damage than some of us oldies would.

    Was that your strongest arm ,before you broke it?

    HAve you been working out that side through specialist moves from a Phyisotherapist?

    (sounds like your doctor may have just skipped that step) ?

    Are you sore in any muscles or have you got like electric type shocks that shoot through the muscles on that side sometimes?

    I ask, because i got shot through the arm at work a few years ago (just into the muscle with a piece of carborundum)Â and the energy just wouldnt flow and i suffered shocks and weird feelings
    through it with a feeling of weakness sometimes.

    That took accupressure and massage to clear that up over a long period working it hard with my fingers alot cleared it up.
    Feeling my muscles I could feel lumps in them and knots from the time i could only use a few of them ,that were now over worked and now knotted up stopping me from using them correctly.
    Work them out by rubbing briskly with oils so you warm up and get the blood flowing and then put major pressure onto any knots and hold that pressure so it hurts at about a level of 7 out of 10 ,10 being unbearable pain. And hold the pressure until the level drops of to about 3 or 4 or even none if the knot is a young one. that done over time will even out muscle structure so that you can then start to build them equally without minor damages stopping them building up to original strength.

    (if you do this anywhere on your body),
    Squeesing lumps out and massaging :
    you have to drink at least 6 medium glasses of water over the next day so that you help wash out any natural toxins /acids out of your system that you have released into your lymph system.
    then days later , you feel so much freeer.

    Also;
    Go right over your arm top and under side,using the tip of your thumb to explore (like up and down roads) and Any sore spots that have that weird feeling of 1/2 pain /  1/2 pleasure, are probably blocked meridians.It is fixing up these that stops the odd electrical shock feeling from occuring later.

    You just put pressure with your thumb into them sore spots and revolve down slowly but firmly and work them out . This done over a time will balance energy flow to other areas too.

    HAve a feel around your arm , fix yourself up, then get back to strength building.

    Hey Andre thanks, my left arm wasn't the stronger when i broke it but they both were colse in strenght so that with this drop i noticed it right away. the only time it starts i get the shocks thyp things is when im working on jabs for to long. i only went to a phyisotherapist one time for it the guy stood there and asked me to show him all the movements i can do( ripped rotater cuff also) and i did every thing he asked me to do and i lifted how he told me to and everything and i don't know its still a difference i notice. like ill be dumbell benching 35lbs and the right can but it up easly 20 times and the left locks up and dosn't move and dose that shocking thing after 15or 16. but ill deffentally do that massaging and all that to see if that helps. thanks again

    I'd really just suggest working on your weak arm harder than your right arm..

    You may feel like your doing your right arm an injustice by not working it to it's peak capacity, but you'll feel much better when both arms are back to the strength they were & then you can go all out with both arms..

    Do a lot of dumbel work & say you can do 15 reps before your right arm gets sore, stop your right arm at say, 10, and continue to lift with your left arm to about 12 or 13 & so on...

    The right arm will get a slight rest during this period (do it for 2 or 3 months) & you should notice your left arm catching up... Always finish your right arm reps before they get really sore, but continue on with your left arm to the point of failure.

    I had the problem of one arm being a lot weaker than the other, and while your working on evening them up, you really do feel like the strength of your good arm is going to waste & it's tempting to go back and work that arm as hard as you can as well,,, but just stick it out.. it's only 2 - 3 months out of your entire life that your not working your right arm hard, so it's not the end of the world... Just stick at it, and you'll get the results you want.

    Do you have a garage or car port where you could hang it? If you can save up enough you can get a bag with a stand that the bag hangs from. Or even one of those free standing bags which you could use in your damn bedroom. If you want I can send you a few links to some bags for sale online which won't require hanging up anywhere, or much space (depending on how much you want to dance around it). Speed bags can be mounted onto solid walls. Don't know if your mum would like you drilling holes into your walls though at home.. There are always ways around things though if your determined.
    You can always work on the excuse to your mum that it's a hell of a lot safer letting you learn to fight and DEFEND YOURSELF in the CONTROLLED safety of a gym, compared to bully's in the real world where you could suffer a LOT more damage. It worked with my parents when I was younger.

    why not say to your mum you just want to train for fitness and self-defence...you may not like it or be any good - if you've spotted a club you want to go to why not ask her to come along with you?

    It is hard to learn correct technique without guidance.
