Vivo en una loma un poquito pronunciada y requiero movilizarme del gimnasio a mi casa todos los días, y también a otro lado 4 veces a la semana (de Niquia a Fabricato).

Compré carro y ahora tengo carro, moto y la moto de mi novia. En gastos y el encarte de parqueadero siento que tengo más vehículos de los que debería tener, trabajo remoto y solo uso la moto (ahora) para el gym e ir a Fabricato. Servirá una patineta de esas eléctricas? Alguien ha tenido experiencias con ellas?

As context, I have been practicing boxing (on and off) for 8 months, with a 3 month break in between. One of my goals for this year was to get my first sanctioned fight, but I changed jobs last year (hence why the break) and my job is now much more mentally intensive, specially time-wise. I used to go 2 hours 4/7 days a week and sparred 2/7 a week.

Here comes the problem: the gym changed places and added new coaches; all of them are pro boxers so that’s great, no complaints about that. But I am only managing to go 3 times a week during the early morning, when there are no people to spar safely, or at least, the same 2 guys go and we spar each other. Out of my 1.5 hours I am able to go now, half is spent warming up and drills, with just 15 mins of sparring unless I go on a Saturday that it’s full sparring only; but here is another deal, I told my coach I wanted a fight and he said I had to come during the afternoon since that’s when most active amateurs come to the gym, or on a Saturday but they always have a higher level than me. I can’t go in an afternoon since I have work and I also go to the gym,si I am feeling a little bit discouraged because of this.

How do you guys (specially guys that are active) manage work, gym and social time?

Don’t feel comfortable with high guard and being forced to use it. Am I in the wrong?

I am one of the tallest fighters in my gym, if not the tallest. The boxing culture in my country is very pressure-oriented, which I understand. However, at my gym there are 4 coaches: 3 pros and the lead coach a retired pro.

Naturally when sparring if I use the high guard I don’t feel natural, and end up throwing a lot less punches since it feels awkward to me. The thing is that one of the coaches keep telling me to use a high guard, very bladed stance and to keep my head straight up. I feel more natural with a standard guard (or even long if stamina is still high) and a slightly less bladed stance. I understand the coaches have much more experience than I do and well, they are the coaches; but I am having troubles with this specific coach that gives cues that feel unnatural to my body type. Have you dealt with something similar?

Hola! Tengo 40M de cuota inicial y estoy pensando en comprar carro por temas de comodidad (me movilizo en moto).

Actualmente gano 8.6M netos y me quedan 2.4M, con posibilidad de rebajar gastos en 800k (apoyo a mi familia temporal) y recibir un 20% más en Junio (ascenso en el trabajo).

He estado mirando carros y están muy, muy caros. Tengo créditos presprobados de varias financieras y por ahora el único que me llama la atención es Bancolombia, donde tengo un preaprobado por 72M a 1.56MV por 60 meses, es decir, sin prenda ni seguros caros obligatorios ni nada. He averiguado en varias financieras y las tasas están por el mismo monto (a 48 meses, misma inicial) financiando de 35-50M. Endeudarme tanto no me parece saludable, sobre todo cuando actualmente me quedan 2.4M libres.

Estaba pensando en ajustar mi rango de precios de 55-65M, que resultaría en cuotas de 900-1M, más gastos de operación que por estar seguro sería otra cuota (1M). ¿Ven factible este rango? ¿Que carros automáticos hay por este precio que tengan las 3 B?

Gracias!

I am currently doing FB x 3 since I do boxing 5 days a week and 1 day of cycling/football, and it’s fine except for the fact that oftentimes I skip leg exercises because I am too tired or don’t have the mental energy to do them, specially if they involve a hinge like squats or RDLs.

I was wondering if it’s possible to mix up UL and full body… something like doing chest+back+arms, quads+hamstrings+shoulders, chest+back+arms+accessory legs.

I currently do around 9 sets of back/chest/arms, 4-6 sets of legs, and ocassionally shoulders. I do my core after each boxing session so no big deal. Another benefit that I see for the ULF is that I workout Monday, Tuesday and Thursday so the it’s better to do UL rather than 2 consecutive full body days. In terms of progression I am fine, continue to progress except for my legs and shoulders.

I do:
- Monday: Boxing 7-9AM, FB 7-8PM
- Tuesday: FB 7-8PM
- Wednesday: Boxing 7-9AM, Cycling 7-8PM
- Thursday: Boxing 7-9AM, FB 7-8PM
- Friday: Boxing 7-9AM, Soccer 9-11PM
- Saturday: Boxing 10-13PM

I don’t have more days to fit more gym. Any advice?

Estoy indeciso entre estos dos modelos, luego de ver la nueva cara del Versa que honestamente parece auto chino
