Covid gave me lots of free time, so I have officially been going to the gym hard every day for almost a year now.

I started out last year, could barely do 1 pull up, and could barely bench 135.

I can do 16 pull ups now, and bench 250. I feel amazing, need new shirts because my arms are too big now.

All it takes is 1hr 30 min per day, 30 min driving, 1 hour focused lifting. Start with every other day doing Chest/tri, back/bi, legs/abs. Look up routines on internet there are dozens. Get up to once per day.

I stream podcasts, and old vids of rock n roll (try AC/DC live 1979). You won’t regret it, but you will regret being a faggot dough boy forever.

Practice your jab though, after every lifting session, because one of the downside of pumping iron, is that you lose speed and elasticity at muscular/tissue level, and the day you need to jab/punch fast, ouch... It's going to hurt, at the connection between the forearm and the arm, biceps mostly

Technique, speed, power

In that order

Starting with technique, insure a good warm up to begin with, and once you're comfortable with the move, you can add speed while maintaining accuracy, otherwise if you're not comfortable with the move you'll hurt yourself working speed right away. And then, finally, add raw power to all of it

So the end, you end up punching accurately, fast and hard

And that's valid for pretty much any technique, punches, kicks, locks, you name it

I always warm up for the lifting, and so weird you say this because recently I started hitting the heavy bag at the gym. No particular reason, it just called to me, so I had a session beating that fucker.

Talk about cardio! I didn't realize that would help with my overall fitness in the way you describe. I will make sure that is regular part of my routine now.
