I visit my boxing gym every three days. I work there until I’m sweaty as heck. But I’m not gaining enough volume. I think my fat is inhibiting my muscle growth. But at least I’m improving my technique, and can notice performance increases.

    if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

    fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

    good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.
