For once Wyldflower, thank you.
Like what every one else has said on here, take a different approach if you want different results. The steroids and groth hormone and other ergogenic aides are not going any where; you are another perfect example of someone who has bought into this overtraining BS.
Yes, there is a place for daily doubles, and yes there is a place for intense training. Try de-loading, try splitting up your mma and resistance training days so you have rest in between and they are not on the same day.
You mentioned how you feel sore often the next day and how you just work through it; do you also feel lethargic? Like you have no energy? What does your body look like; are your muscles kind of flat? I am guessing if you took one week off; without going crazy with your eating (but you allowed yourself some healthy eats) your strength would go up and your mental/physical energy would be 60% better…
Like BBB said, youth is wasted on the young. Do you even realize with the proper knowledge, training, and supplements (and yes, drugs, if that is the route you want to go down) you can be in your peak well into your 30’s??
Don’t throw this bullshit at us about ‘an athlete would know what I’m talking about.’ So many people your age push themselves so hard with such misguided training that they get injured and their career is cut short, full potential never fully realized. Think about it, whether it be your knee, your shoulder, fracturing/breaking a leg, whatever.
You are a big boy and it sounds like you have the beginning of some good strength. Take this into perspective, before I ever touched a steroid (and when I was 22 and out of shape) I pulled 405lbs for a 1 rm on the deadlift. And that was being almost completely out of shape, barely being able to do a few dips or pullups.
Granted when I was in highschool I had done a lot of cleans and squats, but prior to that I had never done deadlifts… Crazy? Yeah, consider in highschool I didn’t do pullups either! I used latpulldowns, and I used shitty form at that.
