Question
Hi. I just got a 100lb heavy bag and have wanted to get into boxing for a while. I'm 18. i have a bench and curl bar in my basement where my bag is hung. Im trying to find a good training guide on how to get started. I want to get bigger I'm 160lbs now. But i want to get bigger and learn how to box properly. I also don't know what kind of diet i should be on. Any advice will be appreciated. thankz

Answer
I can suggest going to my website at www.boxingdoneright.com I do offer a diet and I offer video boxing lessons.  Other than that I can suggest looking into various books that can instruct you or find a boxing trainer at one of your local boxing gyms.  You do not want to gain weight unless it is muscle weight and if you are going to box you may want to keep your weight down depending on your height.

Thanks,

Joe
