time of training

bob_gonzo_strongman

So i'm a mixed martial artist, and i realy started cracking down hard on my conditioning about 2 months ago. Ive bean using spirints and barbell complex's to reach my anerobic threshold. They have been working great but recently started to stall. Im wanting to transition to bodyweight circuits and H.I.I.T on the treadmill, but i was wondering if bodyweight circuits will also keep my strength-up because i dont have that much time to train my strength because im always skill training.

And if someone could create a circuit for me, it would be much appreciated.(but it has to be intense) THANX!

Post up some stats and goals for your training as well as any restrictions your have due to injuries. It would also help to know your schedule and availability.

Based on what your goals are and competitive nature (I assume this because of the various martial arts, grappling and fighting) I think something like a crossfit program might be worth exploring. I just don't think the body-weight circuits are going to provide you with stimulation to build appreciable and transferable power to you athletic endeavors.

If you search the web for crossfit workouts most gym post the workout of the day for free and many provide sample workouts.

Have you looking into kettlebell work? KBs are easily applicable to MMA since they lend themselves to both quick lifts (like the Olympic lifts but with easier to learn form) and slow "grinds" for endurance. KB Swings and snatches will build some explosiveness and there are tons of slower movements (you can look on YouTube and find some things that approximate movements you will be doing in competition). They also mix well with bodyweight exercises and can be done in circuits for GPP, fatloss or endurance.

I must agree kb's are good to have and a dam good workout. You just have to stay working at it and stay constant. I have many injuries substained from 13 years of military service and gained quite a bit of weight over the past few years now i have bad knees and severe ptsd and working around all my injuries and getting back into the gym and workout agenda. My wife bought me a set of kb's and they are wonderful.

I think something like a crossfit program might be value looking at. I just don't think the body-weight trip are going to provide you with satisfaction to create considerable and transferable power to you health possibilities.
