Question
I'm 16 5'7 and 140 lbs and i have never boxed in a league just outback with my friends who are all bigger then me and i realized that i have somewhat of a natural talent for boxing. but my question is it too late to start boxing in a league and am I too small? and How can i get bigger faster i already work out alot but i just want to put on another 10lbs or so but fast
It is not too late to start boxing competitivily, but do not get discouraged if you do not gain weight too easily because at 16 years old you do not have the proper hormone balance yet to achieve max weight gain. Eat about 6 meals a day, and this should help.
