Are you looking to gain mass?
Or stay lean and cut?
My workouts are over a 7 day period. I want to bulk a little more but be lean and cut.
Here is a quick summary of my week:
MONDAY: Weight Training - Arms
TUESDAY: 1/2 Hr Cardio & 1/2 Hr Boxing Training
WEDNESDAY: Weight Training - Legs
THURSDAY: 10 Rounds Sparring
FRIDAY: Weight Training - Chest & Midsection
SATURDAY: 1 Hour Boxing Training
SUNDAY: Weight Training - Neck, Back & Shoulders
It has proven, with correct diet, to be quite beneficial. Each session, each day only consists of about an hours work. This way you get your muscle-focused weights in as well as your cardio & boxing-focused routines.
I don't feel boxing and weights should be done on the same day because boxing is an aerobic workout, while weight training is an anaerobic workout. They require muscles to work different and they have different ways they use stored energy. Work one then wait at least a whole day before you do a different routine. This gives the body plenty of time to recover.
After each, get a good high dose of protein into your body and if you can, take some L-Glutamine. It will help decrease that 'next day tired muscle' syndrome. I mean, you'll still be sore, but not as much.
Peace!
