You're not dangerous you're just a gym goer trying to impress people on Instagram and youtube you are now making combat sport video just b'cause combat sport are the trend right now you just want to prove something to people impress others if you're a Real Athlete you should have begun combat sport way earlier in your life .
@@chilledvibes2140 no I think he meant calisthenics as in body weight exercises, and weights as in using external weights, for gains. So I just said weighted calisthenics instead lol
I used to be a swole 225 but was too slow. I got into Boxing and BJJ and now I know it's so much better being 180- 200lbs and a good fighter than 225+ and just being big.
You were slow cause you were a beginner. I was a martial artist before I started bodybuilding and I’m just as fast now at 180lbs as I was at 156lbs. Mind you, I’m 5’6.
I do calisthenics (mainly your routines) Capieira, boxing and Ju Jitsu. Balancing this with regular training with a job can be tricky. This is solid advice Austin.
Love it AD. Truly inspiring how you are an example of how someone who isn’t the best at something, with consistency can improve at anything. Look forward to seeing your growth in boxing.
Stick with it! You have it planned out perfectly, 3 times a week is right. And you will grow each month and a year from now you will be surprised how competent you are at the basics.
I respect you a lot for letting your ego go and admitting that looking swoll and intimidating doesn’t always translate to actually knowing how to and being able to fight. The benefit is that,yes, very much so far, FAR less people will ever test or try you. But you did the right thing by actually learning how to really fight, and not just rely on a false sense of security that just looking and even just being strong is all you need because there’s always somebody bigger and stronger. Good work man..
I do Powerlifting, Weightlifting and swimming. I do MMA as a combat sport, the disciplines I practice are BJJ, Judo, Sambo, Freestyle Wrestling and Muay Thai. The most important advice I can give is not to overtrain. With consistency you will get what you want, but since you practice more disciplines it will take you longer than others. The others focus on fewer disciplines so for them the objectives to be achieved are fewer, but with patience, perseverance and discipline you will succeed, don't give up just because you see less results than others, just know that in the end you will be superior to them both in their discipline and in others. It's a priceless feeling.
What is your squat bench and deadlift? Also how old are you and how many years are you practicing wrestling and other combat sports? I am also a wrestler from 🇧🇬 we are not far apart maybe meet some day? 🇧🇬🤝🇦🇱
@@mackleven7Not true. If you are just a boxer, you will lose against someone who knows everything. MMA. It's like having a Military. It would help to have an army, navy, air force, or ex. If you are a boxer and get kicked in the leg hard, you will fall. And also, you can't defend against takedowns-or Submission attempts.
Respect coming from another amateur boxer been doing it for abit over 2 years I’ve had 2 fights but next year I’m really gonna pick it up and go for Nationals and be serious glad too see you have choose boxing I have a lot of respect for that ❤😎
Sounds like a great routine. I’m the opposite where I’ve been boxing for years but am starting to lift much more. Planning on fighting the next weight class up for my next match.
This was super helpful. I used to practice muay thai back in college and now after years I've joined classes back. They are very intensive classes and at 40 yrs of age it became quite a task to balance martial arts, weights and rest days. This came up at the right time on youtube for me
At 1:45 mark; Great video bro! I had a similar split. I did: Mondays and Wednesdays - afternoon full body pull ( this includes hamstrings and glutes) and evening boxing Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoon full body push (this includes quads and calves) and evening cardio (elliptical machine or treadmill) Friday - Rest Saturday - afternoon boxing and sometimes spar Sunday - Rest
My routine is Sunday - abs and light shadowbox (6 rounds) Monday - push day + light shadowbox. Tuesday - boxing training (short but very very intense) + bike or jump rope. Wednesday - pull day + ligh shadowbox. Thursday - HARD sparring or boxing training + jump rope or bike. Friday - legs and light shadowbox. Saturday - boxing training + jump rope or bike. I trained with some olimpic brazilian boxers.
I was planning to do the same, push pull legs 3 times a week and boxing but i want to know if i will build muscle ans size with this method? A newbie rn
Boxing is basically footwork and timing. However it takes time to get these two things to elite level. Anyone who wasn't initiated at an early age should take the flow approach to boxing. The more skill oriented your boxing work is, and the less fatigue inducing the better for self defense.
Ive been doing Muay Thai and BJJ for 5 years. The routine ive found that works best for me is: Mon: 5km run, BJJ, MT Tues: Upper body, BJJ, MT Weds: Lower body Thurs: BJJ Fri: Upper, BJJ Sat: Lower, BJJ (double class) Sun: Rest
@@alias0449 Just do a full body, high intensity, low-volume program. Twice a week. You’ll be good. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a lot of volume to make progress
good video. I was looking for info on this during the summer. I train muay Thai and switched from PPL 6 day split to 4 day Upper Lower and 3 days muay thai. Much better recovery and better physique.
As an intermediate boxer that is trying to balance weight training and boxing, this video is very refreshing to see, gave me a nice example of what my week can look like. I recommend you to also do more explosive push workout for one of your push days, this will benefit your boxing.❤
Hey Austin really nice video! i have been watching you for many years and i wanted to share my story after i see you post this video because it reminded myself. I'm a professional calisthenics athlete and for the last 2 years i'm combining running with calisthenics and now the last year I'm even doing 3 trainings per day because i started Muay Thai while still working and training hard. What i want to say is that there is always time and that we great the time, that's it from me keep inspiring.
Glad you’re teaching this in your videos, I think it will help out young men and even old men! It will make the world a safer place to learn to fight and control it. Also for the people clowning your skills, they take time so keep at it Austin and aim to improve everytime 💪🏾
I do boxing & acrobatics ( 6'1, 220 lbs ) my speed is ok, I bench 305, squat 315, overhead press 185 and deadlift 405, around 60 push ups & 12 pull ups. my backflip and vertical jump are pretty high my routine ; monday ; heavy upper body lifting and I finish with 20 mins bag work tuesday ; endurance , coordination & bag work wednesday ; acrobatics, bodyweight leg work thursday ; heavy upper body lifting + 20 mins bag work Friday ; sparring saturday ; heavy leg work sunday ; rest & technique with small foot drills I do sacrfice some abs just to eat and have energy to complete all those workouts
@@nie9081 30, i have to rethink my training approach and lose a couple of pounds for my body longevity. I def don’t have as much free time to recuperate as I did younger unfortunately
I’m not gonna be one of those “boxing experts” in the comments despite being a boxer. Just trust the process of your coach and you’ll be good. I just hope your coach is good because a great coach is pretty difficult to find.
Boxing is really accessible, I see why its a first choice for a lot of people interested in martial arts. And I'd still choose Muay Thai or Kickboxing.
You want to get good at this train 5/6 days a week combined with your gym routine, the fact your boxing is brilliant keep this up everything you learn im combat applies to life in general
Great video! Always so hard to balance a martial art and strength training. Trying to balance tumbling/gymnastics and weight training with quite difficult actually.
Easy fix. Prioritize boxing for 2 years straight then default back to your system with it on the side to keep those hands sharp. If you're gonna learn to box learn to box for real. It's one of the most life changing thing you can do.
I personally do muay thai, you don't have to do it often to learn the techniques. When you get into sparring thats when you learn when to use those moves
I been boxing since I was 12 switched over to jujitsu 3 years ago I can honestly say jujitsu helped me more with functional training,cardio and my physique better than boxing
Honestly Austin would be more dangerous at wrestling or MMA than boxing because you can use muscular strength for that since it involves grabbing and slamming which is what you do with the weights to put on that mass
@@DarrkMane thats quite literally BS, it depends on the weight class. Like with most sports, the /LHW/cruiser/heavyweights are built like him, sometimes way bigger. Taller too.
Lots of muscle = oxygenic strain = run out of gass quick. Grappling requires lots of endurance, hypertrophy training translates more to strength and size than endurance
@NoRockinMansLand Stocky and shorter limbs have better center of gravity = grappling. Striking would fit a longer slender build using length as its advantage. Of course, weight matters. Enough skill will prevail given how much experience you have.
Bein 6'1 210 has always kinda worked for me bro...but honestly, ive been reading and studying boxing and mma and such...i dont see me taking it up for self defense or fighting competence but more so just for the challenge and feeling of accomplishment
I do weights, body weight training and boxing. Fastest way to get good at boxing is to watch other fighters matches and understand actual styles Peekaboo and brawler worked for my height and weight Styles Peekaboo style - Tyson Brawler - David Tua Counter - Evander holyfield Hitman - Tommy Hearns Stance switch - Marvin Hagler Dancer - Mohammed Ali
Another thing that also works is shadowboxing naturally too in your free time. You tend to get down the form and practice the skills and movements of boxing while also getting a workout.
I didn’t watch the video yet cause I want to react to it when I start my channel but if you’re interested in combining martial arts and bodybuilding I recommend high intensity, low-volume training. That way you won’t burn yourself out mentally and physically from training twice a day, 6 days a week. 1. Stick to the Big 6 compound movements. Bench press variations, squat variations, deadlifts variations, overhead barbell press variations, bent over row variations, pull up and chin up variations. This provides a better stimulus and allows you to apply progressive overload more effectively than isolation machines. 2. Keep the reps low. Between 3-6 reps that way you’re training for brute strength and raw power. 3. Perform 4-6 weekly sets per each muscle group That way your training for hypertrophy. This will be very easy to do since you’ll be doing compound exercises anyway 4. DO NOT…. I repeat DO NOT go on a bulking phase. It will not only drain your stamina due to the excessive body fat but it will be hard to make weight for your fight.
As long as u train boxing, your muscle will adapt to the stimulus. Are 2 opposite sport, so they do not complement each other. But if u don’t bother about weight class, u do not need to worry about the routine. The optimisation needs to be oriented managing fatigue. So upper/lower 2 times a week is very good; full body good as well. Weightlifting/Calis 3-4 times a week; boxing 2-3 times a week (muscle oriented, amateur training boxing) The opposite is valid for a strict boxing trainee. 2-3 times a week can be a full body 2x week, or upper/lower/full body. On top of everything, the competitor in boxing needs to train conditioning drills. I hope can be useful to someone that was looking like me for a balance. To master boxing it’s not enough your intere life, but to be “good” sure 2-3 years of serious training will give you the most. Consistency is the key
Get obsessed with footwork. Try to motor learn head movement, reading distance, Perrying, slipping, and blocking. Focus on that and try to flow it into a synchronized movement knowing when and when not to use it. Footwork is the foundation of good quality striking. Get obsessed with it. Hell sign up to dance classes just to get them feet fluid af. I’m telling you this because it’s legit ass advice. Never forget this. It may be difficult at first but everything is difficult at first- miyamoto musashi. I’ve been training mma for a number of years (Brazilian jiu jitsu-brown belt 7years) and Dutch style kickboxing for about 4 years. I was complete ass the first 2 years of picking up striking it was only when I focused on my coach’s footwork that it all came flowing together. I hope you continue this journey. And who knows maybe pick up jiu jitsu aswell 🤷🏽♂️
Being in shape as a fighter is not the same as being shape as a calisthenics athlete but I would say Austin do martial arts more effective in street fights than boxing
As a boxer…I can smell fighters from miles away and i know when a bodybuilder is not a fighter. I am more scared from Ukranian refugees in old adidas tracksuits than giant body builders that I can knock out in 3 seconds. On a side note, being a trained fighter and having the knowledge that you can actually take someones life within seconds gives you immense confidence and the aura is easily picked up on from other men a women a like.
Give Austin a break. At least he’s learning and having fun. I’m relearning boxing slowly after being away for years and I’m relearning from scratch @@NonyaBusinessXDXD
Speaking as a lifelong martial artist. Those subpar physique fighter are ONLY confident in fighting scenarios. Now ask them to work the room at a party or club. Or ask them to cold approach a group of honeys and see how they fold. It’s because most male martial artists are incels still stuck on the bullying they endured in high school. Just look back at that episode of the Ultimate Fighter where Ronda Rousey showed up to chill with them at the house and they all froze up. Meanwhile the ripped guys, the Chads, the Tyrones are practically the center of attention at that same party. Why? Cause when you look better, you feel better. And when you REALLY think about it. Chad’s and Tyrones rarely get into fights. Cause all the girls want them and all the fellas respect and even look up to them. So when you think about it, do you really even need to learn self defense? 😂😂😂😂
There is in my opinion a fine line between your size and your cardio. Lemme be more specific the output, I personally believe that the your output (average number of punches you throw a round) and your size (muscle and fat ) go hand in hand. Other factors include your fighting style are you big on moving around, you a guy who counter strikes and more. These play a part cause you will be moving your body with all this guy's like Ali, Mike Tyson, Floyd Patterson, Jack Damsey and Joe Frazier were heavyweights who were lighter than most but that helped them be more Mobile. Just my opinion you can go Deep into this topic
@@Alex-ke9wt my digestion is way better with out it. Plus my recovery is better as well. I still get protein from other sources but I stop doing a lot of cardio. I take long breaks from meat anywhere between 3-4 months then I ease my way back into it. It’s not for the rest of my life. Lol
I think people will try you MORE if you look good, if you look the part i think more people especially some specific men will test your strength compared to theirs etc just naturally…but that’s why you stay humble regardless of how you look…yes be proud of your hard work but not arrogant😅
Opposite, I've been bodybuilding for 7 years and I have never gotten in a fight once. Before, when I was obese, I used to get in fights all of the time, especially in middle school. My last fight was 8 years ago before I started touching a weight.
When comes the “ i finally went to therapy and got rid of my insecurities so I don’t have to overcompensate by doing all this shit to feel less insecure” routine?
But do you still have the strength to do planche and handstand pushups or did the boxing converted your shoulder muscles for more cardio-punching movements and therefore caused lost in strenght?
As someone who has done both and competed you won’t lose much size unless you are cutting a lot of weight with a mix of boxing and weight training you’ll be very cut
Don’t go to hard with fighting if your not going pro. No one talks about your joints getting icky after a couple months or wrist pain lasting for months.
I wish someone taught me that actual fighting ability is NOT that important. Looking good is an investment that will pay itself back many times over financially, opportunitywise and even timewise. Being a threat? Not really that useful. I've never closed a business deal or gotten points for being able to throw a punch that sounds like thunder. I can count on my hands how seldom being good at boxing got me anything but I can't even comprehend how useful being handsome from working out, facial care, fashion etc. comes in handy.
I’ll be honest in the beginning you gotta give up the lifting for at least the first year. You don’t want to spend physical mental resources balancing both during the most crucial years of learning and also pick up bad mechanics on the way. Then a year later you can always rebuild that muscle with ease while also boxing. That’s in my opinion at least. People who think of martial arts as a form of cardio usually don’t make significant improvements

Try kickboxing. You have the agility for it. It works a lot on your legs and quick on your feet too
boxing is pulling, punching is not just pushing, you are pulling your shoulders and back to rotate your punch back and forth it’s a full body movement
Punching actually starts from the leg, rotates through the hips, and escapes through your arms.

2. Keep the reps low. Between 3-6 reps that way you’re training for brute strength and raw power.
3. Perform 4-6 weekly sets per each muscle group That way your training for hypertrophy. This will be very easy to do since you’ll be doing compound exercises anyway
4. DO NOT…. I repeat DO NOT go on a bulking phase. It will not only drain your stamina due to the excessive body fat but it will be hard to make weight for your fight.
Austin let’s make it happen
Good video, love from finland!
Yes this is where i am. Fitness first but stilll want to get a little boxing work in
Appreciate the courage to post a new journey and evolution it’s cool how calisthenics athletic habits assist in boxing.
Good stuff bro, you should try Jiu jitsu I have done mma too and fitness it’s a awesome balance and you do get stronger and more skilled over time
As long as u train boxing, your muscle will adapt to the stimulus.
Are 2 opposite sport, so they do not complement each other.
But if u don’t bother about weight class, u do not need to worry about the routine.
The optimisation needs to be oriented managing fatigue.
So upper/lower 2 times a week is very good; full body good as well.
Weightlifting/Calis 3-4 times a week; boxing 2-3 times a week (muscle oriented, amateur training boxing)
The opposite is valid for a strict boxing trainee. 2-3 times a week can be a full body 2x week, or upper/lower/full body.
On top of everything, the competitor in boxing needs to train conditioning drills.
I hope can be useful to someone that was looking like me for a balance.
To master boxing it’s not enough your intere life, but to be “good” sure 2-3 years of serious training will give you the most.
Consistency is the key
Keep at it bro. You look more comfortable on the feet than before
Great video 🔥🔥
Bruv your not dangerous at boxing 😂😂😂
Ur not dangerous aswell
@@armanrashid670point still stands lol
Why u say that I don’t understand
He said that he needed 10000 hours to get better into it B
Can you beat him ?
Get obsessed with footwork. Try to motor learn head movement, reading distance, Perrying, slipping, and blocking. Focus on that and try to flow it into a synchronized movement knowing when and when not to use it. Footwork is the foundation of good quality striking. Get obsessed with it. Hell sign up to dance classes just to get them feet fluid af. I’m telling you this because it’s legit ass advice. Never forget this. It may be difficult at first but everything is difficult at first- miyamoto musashi. I’ve been training mma for a number of years (Brazilian jiu jitsu-brown belt 7years) and Dutch style kickboxing for about 4 years. I was complete ass the first 2 years of picking up striking it was only when I focused on my coach’s footwork that it all came flowing together. I hope you continue this journey. And who knows maybe pick up jiu jitsu aswell 🤷🏽♂️
For bodybuilder transitioning into combat sport, you can either be a tough looking human punching bag or get down size and get efficient at fighting.
Great video needed this
Hey Austin,
Love the content and how the videos are edited.
I wanted to ask if you edit your content yourself or have someone from fiver do it for you
Being in shape as a fighter is not the same as being shape as a calisthenics athlete but I would say Austin do martial arts more effective in street fights than boxing
Imagine learning every skill in the world and still die, GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST.
Imagine give all the life you have to fairytale that made by people

@@rafa-lk6lf sleep is my rest
As a jacked donkey that is new to boxing aswell this is inspiring.
Needed this😂
As a boxer…I can smell fighters from miles away and i know when a bodybuilder is not a fighter. I am more scared from Ukranian refugees in old adidas tracksuits than giant body builders that I can knock out in 3 seconds. On a side note, being a trained fighter and having the knowledge that you can actually take someones life within seconds gives you immense confidence and the aura is easily picked up on from other men a women a like.
Bro started boxing a few months ago and now he’s dangerous?
I’m relearning boxing. Who knows? Maybe Austin’s dangerous, maybe he’s not, but he’s having fun and that’s all that matters
Give Austin a break. At least he’s learning and having fun. I’m relearning boxing slowly after being away for years and I’m relearning from scratch @@NonyaBusinessXDXD
Plus, Austin is doing this for himself. That’s all that matters @@NonyaBusinessXDXD
Most people I’ve met who train fighting with subpar physiques tend to have more confidence in any situation than most ripped guys I’ve met
Speaking as a lifelong martial artist. Those subpar physique fighter are ONLY confident in fighting scenarios.
Now ask them to work the room at a party or club. Or ask them to cold approach a group of honeys and see how they fold. It’s because most male martial artists are incels still stuck on the bullying they endured in high school. Just look back at that episode of the Ultimate Fighter where Ronda Rousey showed up to chill with them at the house and they all froze up.
Meanwhile the ripped guys, the Chads, the Tyrones are practically the center of attention at that same party. Why? Cause when you look better, you feel better. And when you REALLY think about it. Chad’s and Tyrones rarely get into fights. Cause all the girls want them and all the fellas respect and even look up to them.
So when you think about it, do you really even need to learn self defense? 😂😂😂😂
Boxing is best, but next learn some stick/staff fighting style, sad true is that nowadays people don't fight with bare hands
Hey Austin awesome you are learning boxing id say also learn a grappling martial art as well .
2:12 made me laugh out loud. I’m not making fun of him because I don’t even box but it’s just funny seeing beginners box cause it looks so awkward.
Those are awkward looking punches even for someone that never boxed
Boxing on push day must be TOUGHHH😂😅 them shoulders probably be hurtinggg
excellent info. best on combining weights with MA
There is in my opinion a fine line between your size and your cardio. Lemme be more specific the output, I personally believe that the your output (average number of punches you throw a round) and your size (muscle and fat ) go hand in hand. Other factors include your fighting style are you big on moving around, you a guy who counter strikes and more. These play a part cause you will be moving your body with all this guy's like Ali, Mike Tyson, Floyd Patterson, Jack Damsey and Joe Frazier were heavyweights who were lighter than most but that helped them be more Mobile. Just my opinion you can go Deep into this topic
Andrew Tate inspiring everyone to learn how to fight.
No.
To be Big and fight doesnt make you dangerous my friend😂😂
I’m focused on loosing weight not muscle. Very hard do to I stopped eating meat, bread. 500 jumps a day is it for me.
Why would you stop eating meat for that purpose ?
@@Alex-ke9wt my digestion is way better with out it. Plus my recovery is better as well. I still get protein from other sources but I stop doing a lot of cardio. I take long breaks from meat anywhere between 3-4 months then I ease my way back into it. It’s not for the rest of my life. Lol
I think people will try you MORE if you look good, if you look the part i think more people especially some specific men will test your strength compared to theirs etc just naturally…but that’s why you stay humble regardless of how you look…yes be proud of your hard work but not arrogant😅
Opposite, I've been bodybuilding for 7 years and I have never gotten in a fight once. Before, when I was obese, I used to get in fights all of the time, especially in middle school. My last fight was 8 years ago before I started touching a weight.
I thought about doing this as well, I pretty much only lift but I wanna get better at fighting I’m in between Jiu Jitsu and boxing
You don’t have the build for boxing if you ask me but maybe you can make it work. If you can’t run 3 miles without stopping that’s a bad sign.
Wait Austin when you do your workouts at the gym, do you do cardio after??
When comes the “ i finally went to therapy and got rid of my insecurities so I don’t have to overcompensate by doing all this shit to feel less insecure” routine?
that's why Austin Dunham can beat mario rios in boxing.
You spire me!
But do you still have the strength to do planche and handstand pushups or did the boxing converted your shoulder muscles for more cardio-punching movements and therefore caused lost in strenght?
Oh it could easily happen if you don’t resupply burned calories or if you don’t have the money for training and more food
As someone who has done both and competed you won’t lose much size unless you are cutting a lot of weight with a mix of boxing and weight training you’ll be very cut
Functional training 🙏
Bruv completing side quests
amen, also love your content
gotta try new things after a decade
@@Austindunhamfithell yeah i gotta start too
Good workout
Big and dangerous ☝️🤓
Don’t go to hard with fighting if your not going pro. No one talks about your joints getting icky after a couple months or wrist pain lasting for months.
Could I also do Upper Body/Lower Body 4 times a week and Boxing 2 time on the rest days ?
I wish someone taught me that actual fighting ability is NOT that important.
Looking good is an investment that will pay itself back many times over financially, opportunitywise and even timewise. Being a threat? Not really that useful. I've never closed a business deal or gotten points for being able to throw a punch that sounds like thunder. I can count on my hands how seldom being good at boxing got me anything but I can't even comprehend how useful being handsome from working out, facial care, fashion etc. comes in handy.
I’ve been told that when it comes to wanting to balance weightlifting and boxing, it’s low weight, high reps, how true is that? 🤔
🎉very informative
Why not muaythai it is the best striking , jujitsu best in grappling or MMA overall best martial arts for self defense...
I’ll be honest in the beginning you gotta give up the lifting for at least the first year.
You don’t want to spend physical mental resources balancing both during the most crucial years of learning and also pick up bad mechanics on the way.
Then a year later you can always rebuild that muscle with ease while also boxing. That’s in my opinion at least.
People who think of martial arts as a form of cardio usually don’t make significant improvements
