hey guys, kind need a sense of direction here. I was just concerned with how to approach some of my goals msot effectiveley. I am an aspirirng boxer who trains everyday, but is also looking to start lifting 4x a week. I use the FST-7 Workout formula that I found on here, one day arms, one day chest, legs, back etc. My other main goal is to get sexy aestichatically so I can bang some hot chicks as I'm in college right now. So I want to effectivley lose fat and gain muscle. I heard too much cardio causes skinny fat look. I dont wanna lose muscle. I wanna make gains! soooo.. When whould I lift before or after? how often? is this an effective weightlfiting routine? over training? how can I be more efficient? should I cut down boxing? help is appreciated

    Few thoughts:

    If you're an aspiring boxer, you should be boxing.

    Boxing isn't particularly similar to doing an elliptical, and doesn't seem to result in "skinny fat".

    You appear to have a decent musculature, and dropping a few percent body fat will result in aesthetic advantage even without muscle gain.

    FST-7 is a bodybuilding routine, and not oriented toward anything that would help boxing (explosion, core strength, mobility, endurance) or even general athleticism - basically, it wouldn't be a recommended program for any athlete, including strength sports. You probably want to focus on athletic strength training instead.

    You're not going to make gains and lose fat at the same time (at least nothing measurable).

    you recommend I ditch the FST-7? so a full body workout would work better for me?

    Here's the problem:
    Mayweather - bodyweight and conditioning.
    Pac-man - bodyweight and conditioning.
    Jones - bodyweight and conditioning.
    Klitschko - bodyweight and conditioning.

    Their training is hugely biased toward not training with heavy weights. None of them are looking for show muscles.

    I've noticed a few MMA routines that do incorporate lifting, so maybe look into that if you want to hit the weights.
