I am 6' and 41 years old. I recently weighed in at 244.8. Due to moving and other events I allowed lifting and diet to take a back seat. Mainly not having all my gear in one place. We finally settled and all my stuff is under one roof. While contemplating my lackluster every body part twice every 9 days and cardio I decided to get back into boxing and lifting like I used too. I don't do the gym thing or the partner thing. I lift at home. My day to day allows me to put in the time. My end goal is to take a couple of fights at cruiserweight. (200).
I have 450+ lbs of Olympic plates, 45lb Olympic bar, Olympic EZ curl bar, adjustable bench no rack(preacher curls, chest supported dumbbell rows ect) adjustable bench with rack and leg extensions leg curls, dumbbells adjustable 3lb to 20lb set, hex 20, 30, 40, 55.
100lb short and tight ringside hanging heavy bag, 100 long free bag (dirty boxing) speed bags and drums. Bag gloves, sparing gloves, wraps, hand pads, gear. Heavy elastic wrist wraps (cheap golds gym with eye thumb loop) they work great when my wrist are sprained so I can still lift. Harbinger contour belt. I've been using it for at least 5 years. It's time for a new one. I used to use only leather. I like this one way better.
I will list my workouts and General diet as well as weigh ins in seperate posts below.

Whey isolate protein shake in water
Fruit(banana usually)
Multivitamin
LIFT WEIGHTS
salad with eggs and chicken or tuna with whole grain bread and mixed vegetables or egg salad mixed veg whole grain
Orange or apple
CARDIO
sardines and a piece of whole grain bread.
Mixed oat, grains, fruit, trail mix snack
Supper
Anything from kielbasa hamburger spaghetti to fish rice and veg. Meatloaf. Turkey sweat sweet potato carrots. (Big family supper is our time)
Late snack bowl of cereal and whole milk raisin bran lately
Whey isolate shake water before bed
Orange or apple right before I go to sleep

It wasn't meant disrespectfully, it was more of a HOLY **** reaction. If I tried to do that, I'd die within 2 weeks.

Edit: I'd die the first week. There would be no week 2.

Hang around here long enough and you’ll realize, as I have, other people are far more impressive;)

It's been rough on the shoulders and wrists with all the boxing. I've had to limp along a pulled calf (I run and box barefoot). I torqued my wrist putting the weight down (clean and press) and exacerbated it slow spinning the weight at the bottom of my dumbbell curls. I also ****ing pulled a neck muscle giving my kid a blubbery so that sucked for a couple of days. It's a been a balancing act.

You can honestly do that much volume? 6 days per week? Your shoulders won't crumble, they're getting hammered 6 straight days?

A “blubbery” is what my wife calls me having sex with her.
