How do I become stronger? (physically) (lemmygrad.ml)

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 want to get bigger, you need to put your muscles under enough stress so their fibers break and rebuild stronger (you feel it as aching when they rebuild).

Lifting weights, chest press or anything with pushing or pulling at a high force can do this.

Yeah, in addition to boxing... I also do pull ups and dumbbells.
