Looks like you're trying to build upper-body. I remember in your earlier posts you were complaining about being thin; don't worry, bro - you'll fill out as you get older.

I don't think I ever complained about being thin :O I'm not even thin lol. I weigh 165 currently at 5'10 and thats after losing lots of fat so I'm not complaining. But I'm doing full body workouts just haven't reached the legs yet hehe.

Anyway gym was closed yesterday so didn't get to workout.
today:

Military Press: 8x6
Dumbell Press: 10x4
Side Lateral Dumbbell Raises: 10x4
Shrugs: 15x3
Upright Rows: 10x4
Cable Pushdowns: 10x4
Dumbell extensions: 10x4

And I'll post about my cardio and ab work after I finish it.
Edit: Edited my workouts a bit.

I did 5.1 miles in 15 minutes on the bike with level 3 tension.

And did 3 sets of hanging leg raises at 15/20/30. Then 2 sets of of inclined situps 30/70 and did about 100 twists

Haven't been posting much on the workouts but I've been doing 'em and gradually including more boxing, but that's not all on the MA side.

Today

2 mile run (6:50 per mile average pace).

Tons of core work: situps, leg raises, side bends, medicine ball twists, knee to chest (thanks TREE!).

3 x 2:00 rope - all out as fast as I could whip it.

I've got a new boxing training partner whose very promising. He comes from a family that boxes although he hasn't trained recently. He's younger, taller, heavier and stronger, but we're about the same speed/technique/experience.

No more leading with the jab less I want to eat a right that can knock me flat out...more head movement, footwork, leading with short rights and inside fighting!!

I'm having to punch more upward and outward rather than straight ahead for normal folks (6' and shorter.)

Goal was to do as many rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats as I could in 20 minutes. I did jumping pull-ups in the park in the blazing sun. 9 rounds + 5 pull-ups and 3push-ups.

Last time I did 8 rounds in 18 min. in the air-conditioned gym, with 80# assist on the Gravitron.

have you ever considered powerlifting? you can thicken your neck, back and forearms and legs greatly. i know this women at my gym who does nothing but powerlifting. ive never seen her do anything but bench press and squats. her forarms and neck are bigger than my waist dont you want lats the size of boomboxes and quads like barrels, all covered in veins?
