Bodyweight exercises and great nutrition.

Lots of push ups, pull ups and squats will help you gain strength, but you will have to decide, depending on your goals, how heavy you go and how much time you have to dedicate to training etc.

I don`t know what a chico corrales bicep is, but am assuming it is big un.

As Donny stated regarding the nutrition, for sure, I can vouch for that and in a big way. And also what I think is important is to understand and listen to your body.

I started taking training seriously, had started eating healthy, doing intense cardio, a mix of body weights plus weights and on a 6 day a week basis...and at the time was likely 5`10``and about 135-140 lbs. I knew I wanted to be stronger, already had speed. What I wasn`t considering properly was how much body fat I had on me and recovery. I was distance running very lean on body fat, trying to add muscle and going hard at cardio...so was in essence causing a conflict and deficit in my bodies needs.

End result was a constant string of aches, lower back pain and injuries as well as knee pain. Add on a lot of night cramping to boot. With help from this place plus doing the research to follow up, I found for my case I simply had to look at a proper recovery. For this it meant for me a whey protein supplement + L-glutamine directly after workouts. Also a change in how I ran.

Not only did all the aches and pains disappear, but the gains I was looking for seemed to arrive in short order. There is a difference between pushing yourself until you are sore and tired, and pushing yourself until you are hurt. I learned that, but not without help and research, and listening to my body and listening to others in the know. I now am 6`and range between 150-157ish...at 150 or so in peak shape so far.

So get as much info. as you can from those that know, and who are maybe similar in body size to you, and with similar goals. oh and the bicep, you are going to find it is one of the last muscles to focus on specifically for boxing. You`ll want to train it just to work properly with the rest of your body.
