Coach,
I’ve tried working this out a hundred times and I just can’t seem to land on something.
Here are my training variables:
- MMA: Mon, Wed, Fri evening.
Some of these sessions are technical and not too intense, some days we spar and grapple so it’s fuckin brutal. - Weights: Jacked Athlete 31 (4 days)
- Cardio: 60-90 min @120-130 bmp (3 days)
Can you please help me out? When should I schedule my lifting and cardio sessions so that I have the most amount of recovery possible and am able to give 100% to all of my training.
Which days should be 2 a days and in what order?
Heres my 2 iterations
OPTION 1
Pro: get a couple of active recovery days
Con: AM weight training could impact MMA training
Mon - AM Weights, PM MMA
Tue - AM Cardio (recovery day)
Wed - AM Weights, PM MMA
Thu - AM cardio (recovery day)
Fri - AM Weights, PM MMA
Sat - AM Cardio, MMA private session (1hr, more technical)
Sun - AM Weights
OPTION 2
pro: fresh for MMA training
con: after PM MMA there is 9 hrs before AM weights so weight training could suffer a bit.
Mon - AM Cardio, PM MMA
Tue - AM Weights
Wed - AM Cardio, PM MMA
Thu - AM Weights
Fri - AM Cardo, PM MMA
Sat - AM Weights, MMA private session (1hr, more technical)
Sun - AM Weights
