Artemus Dolgin’s got hands.

Everyone needs a hobby. For many that hobby just happens to be martial arts in one of it’s many forms. From Muay Thai kickboxing to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, these days everyone seems to be finding their way to the martial arts world. For bodybuilder and staunch Golden Era advocate Artemus Dolgin, his martial art of choice is boxing.

Usually when we see bodybuilders enter into other sporting realms, the idea of them having a tremendous amount of success doesn’t cross our minds. For a great deal of onlookers they may think that their bodies are too stiff to perform certain athletic movements, that they’ll look mechanical in the process. The reality is that every individual will have different success and Artemus Dolgin proves that theory to be correct.

The skeptics and haters out there would likely call Dolgin’s skills amateur or weak, but from this coach’s perspective, the bodybuilder appears to have some truly solid skills. From hand speed and position to footwork, Dolgin appears to have a great grasp on boxing fundamentals and his videos on Instagram show exactly that.

Punch you in the neck and break your ankle shit! Def feel more comfortable and confident throwing punches. It’s insanely hard to keep up with my regular bodybuilding routine but Im def mastering it. I readjust my lifts to lighter weights, shorter breaks, more supersets. I train one muscle group once a week, legs twice. Eating plenty of foods, more macronutrients, i incorporated more fruit and haven’t noticed any fat gains from it. I avoided fruit for years since my first prep. Also more electrolyted water and cbd. I’m noticing my body transforming into a higher frequency of performance, athleticism and aesthetics. I don’t walk around unsatisfied with my look anymore cuz I need more arms or legs. I’m happpppy. I just want some monnney! A lot of monnney! I don’t get paid to argue with you! Who are you!??You nobody! You mad! You big mad!!!! ?

His most recent video shows Artemus Dolgin using some slick head movement and counter punching during a pad work session that would make any boxing aficionado stand up and take notice.

8 months into boxing … Slow or small progress better than no progress at all. At first people will look down at you or even think you no good and never be good but if you keep putting in the work you will prove them wrong.Guaranteed. I also got the best coach and sparring partners, – @eddiesboxingcrew I appreciate you man.
