Emmanuel Macron: How to get the French leader’s presidential-grade biceps | Only Sports And Health

Noticeably absent from McLaren’s suggestions is Macron’s favoured exercise: boxing. “Boxing is actually absolutely terrible for growing muscle,” McLaren says, “it’s a cardiovascular exercise, so it’s more to do with heart rate and technique. Obviously when you get leaner, muscle definition increases because there’s less fat around the muscles to show. So, your biceps may look bigger when boxing because you’ve got a lower fat percentage, but you won’t necessarily put on any muscle at all.”
