Hey there, ( Sorry its long, question near bottom)
I Have Trainned Kickboxing ( got bored, was too cardio based and not enough full contact plus the Owner/Teacher lacked in drills, Time wasting and Sparing 30min session we spared for 10mins the other 20 we watched his Black belts Spar! )
I then got hooked on MMA. Done some ground work and quite a bit of muay thai.
@ the mo currently looking for a MMA place to train theres just none about where i live so just getting my cardio back up as i havent train for a while. So when a MMA place does pop up i will be in shape.
I use To BB a while back was at 15.5 stone ( 5ft 10 ) now 12.1 stone but need to shred some fat and get some muscle mass ( Within reason )
Ok to the question, Need a MMA Weightlifting Routine?
Im so use to BB way. 4 day split Shoulders / Legs / Back and Bis / Chest n Tris.
I know Ciruit tranning is good so doing 3 x per week body weight stuff. Burpee's Push ups dips pull ups etc etc in my garden.
But what about the weights ? I need to Lift for Strengh and Function. Hopefully some mass will come with the lifts.
Thinking about concentrating on compounds only?
(3 x a week - Body Weight Circuts)
Mon - Heavy
Deads
Squats
Shoulder press
Bench
Pull Ups
Tues - Cardio only
Wed - Light
Deads
Squats
Shoulder press
Bench
Pull Ups
Turs - cardio only
Fri - Heavy
Deads
Squats
Shoulder press
Bench
Pull Ups
All 3sets of 6-8reps
All Followed with Some Cardio(HiiT or Jogging) and, core work out (10mins) Leg rasie's etc..
With BB we use to only train 1 bodypart per week to allow time for it to heal and grow.
With Regards to MMA Im not sure if hitting the same muscle group 3 x per week is good or bad?
My Nurition is nailed pretty much thats one thing i am good at lol
I like to keep my routines simply. So what do you think/Recomend.
Many Regards
