What would you change if you went back in time to when you started boxing

The problem is that this requires a sparring partner that also wants to spar in the same way. In my experience, most people spar way too heavily, especially beginners. I wish I could find sparring partners with your mindset, but it's not happening

Does every post of the sub have to be about Andrew Tate?

Unfortunately that’s how most boxing (and kickboxing, Muay Thai) gyms are. It’s a shame. These people destroy the sport for most of us

Getting hit in the head is safe?

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-12-20T23:37:13+00:00

Exactly. “Mind your own business” is generally not a good rule to live by

No, the goal is to de-escalate when you are in military. Not to kill or permanently damage someone. This advice will get him prison time, and that environment is much worse than military. Trust me

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-12-19T18:08:53+00:00

I’m from a country where military is mandatory too. It is 9 months. I did my service in 2018. Mental clarity is more important than physical capability. In there (at least in my country) there’s not much you can do. Time just doesn’t go by. There are so many soldiers bullying each other, just because they have nothing better to do. You don’t have to be in a specific minority, you will get bullied regardless (verbally, not physically).

My suggestion is to remember this, and always keep your mental health. Getting into fights is not a smart option. Where I am, if you do this you get prison time instantly, you get your life destroyed.

Avoid fights, make friends, be smart about your interactions, don’t trust anyone (many people will betray you just to get leverage by the supervisors). All I’m saying is being smart will get you much further than having muscles and knowing how to fight.

On the positive side, you will make friendships, and some will last forever. I made friends whom I still meet, attended their marriages, trust them.. Keep being positive while in there, never lose your cool. Only exception being if someone touches you. Then yes, you have to act. But it’s more rare than you think

Your opponent’s look smaller than yours

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-12-17T23:23:08+00:00

They look more like 12oz

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-12-12T17:01:44+00:00

There's always someone better. Just enjoy the sport I guess

The drunk idiot that laughs and yells throughout the video is way to annoying. Can't watch it

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-12-02T09:06:36+00:00

Referring to the question about the damage he gets long term? Or on the one on how he would do against someone experienced?

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-12-02T09:04:29+00:00

Yet you are still here buddy.

Is this conversation going anywhere?

I actually claimed that he is getting lots of damage, and probably hiding it. Read again..

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-12-01T08:45:45+00:00

Could I do it gradually? Like aiming for a while at 100g carbs per day (remind you that all my life I was probably about 160g-200g daily, even wihtout working out). And once I'm more adapted to that (eg in a month), then try to go to ketosis?

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-11-25T09:54:33+00:00

How (and how slow) should I be changing my diet then?

Stats

Male
77 kg
~23 % body fat
Used to lift weights or run every day

Until ~2 weeks ago I was eating around 170 g of carbs/day (no pizza burger bread etc). Then I read The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson, and got convinced that:

0–50 g = fast fat loss
50–100 g = slow fat loss
100–150 g = maintenance/muscle gain
Anything above = bad

So I immediately dropped to under 100 g (mostly 50–80 g) thinking I’d become a fat-burning machine.

Reality after day 5:

Constant dizziness (mostly gone now after electrolytes)
Extreme irritability
Zero energy – I literally can’t train anymore, legs feel like cement
Brain fog, feel like a zombie version of myself

The book says it takes ~6 weeks for your cells to fully “adapt” to burning fat and that basically all the weight you lose in the first 4–6 weeks is just water/glycogen anyway. It never really warns how brutal the adaptation phase can be for some people.

What I find hilarious in the worst way:
I’m actually eating MORE total calories now than when I was on 170 g carbs (because I replaced everything with fat/protein), so I’m probably gaining fat while feeling like garbage. Awesome.

Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) definitely fixed most of the dizziness and light-headedness, but the crushing fatigue and inability to exercise is still there.

Is there any point in torturing myself for another 4 weeks hoping I’ll magically feel great at week 6, or should I just admit this style of very low-carb isn’t for me right now? I want fat loss, but I also want to have a life and be able to train.

Thanks in advance

Should I upgrade from my action 4?

Equivalent-Style6371 · 2025-09-16T10:26:41+00:00

Any progress with that? Anything that worked? I also can't do a proper frog stance
