It’s odd, a few months ago I was stronger and had better cardio, (measured by running), but the today version of me would kick the past version’s ass.

You must have dedicated a lot of work to skills training over the past few months instead of lifting and running. Win-win situation. Congratulations on your MMA victory.

Thanks. Yeah, skill work is always number one. Running and lifting just helps a little. You need to fight a lot to be good at fighting.

Awesome log and lifts! I started MMA and grappling this week, in addition to my previous boxing and lifting training. I plan to fight someday. Last week was very challenging to get all my lifts in. If you check out my log you will see I was only able to lift once because my recovery didn’t allow it. Do you have any tips for recovery for a newbie? My boxing trainer puts me through grueling workouts with limited rest. We plan on being prepared for the golden gloves next year. I have to get my weight down to 175-185. I’m at 205 now. Am also starting Thai boxing this week in addition to my MMA and grappling training.
If I am lifting 4 times per week, boxing 3 times a week, doing thai boxing 3 per week, performing 2 mma training sessions, 2 grappling classes, and 1 wrestling class per week, do you think that is a bit much for a beginner?

I had the same problem with over training, when I was lifting 3-5 days a week. The weight always felt heavy. I switched to 2 days a week, still using 5/3/1, and the weight fells light again, and my fighting has been better.
my advice:
- switch to 2x per week lifting, I lift wed and sun
- eat more, clean would be better but if you need to eat some shit to get enough cals go for it.
- look into this stuff called ETS, it does wonders for preventing soreness.
Is you plan to fight MMA or only boxing? If you want to fight MMA, than yes, keep doing what you are doing. But remember every session doesn’t have to be balls out. When my thai coach holds pads for me during my morning private, its less intense than his normal class. But he has made my technique so much better.
Good luck, I’ll pop into your journal and give any advice I can.

Good idea. I’m thinking of doing Thursday (deadlifts 5/3/1 and good mornings), Saturday (pull-ups, rows, weighted pushups), and Sunday (squats 5/3/1 and RDL’s). Feel free to check out my log. I posted my weekly lifting and skills training schedule. Any critique and advice is appreciated. I decided to drop the bench press and overhead press because I have shitty shoulders and figured why not add in some weighted pushups and pull-ups instead.
My ETS came in the mail today. Gonna start using it tomorrow.
I plan to fight in both boxing and MMA. I will start competing in boxing first to develop a good striking base for MMA while I am learning all the other aspects of MMA (submissions, grappling, judo, wrestling). My boxing trainer suggested that I train for an entire year and then enter the Golden Gloves. He says I should box at the 178lb weight class. I’m at 204.5lbs as of today. I plan to add Muay Thai at a later point (maybe in a year).
So for now I am training in boxing to compete in a year while at the same time I am learning all the other aspects of MMA. Since I will compete in the 178lb class in boxing, I would have to figure out my best weight to fight in MMA (170lbs or 185lbs).

If you have shitty shoulders that’s more reason to do over head press. It will strengthen the joint. Use full range and don’t cheat and use weight you know that is too heavy. If you fight pro, it will be most likely at 155, 170 at the highest. Amateur, where ever you are at, cutting weight for day of weigh ins are dumb IMO.
I don’t like the idea of waiting to learn a new skill. If you are a brown belt in boxing, and a white belt in muay thai, you will only use your boxing and not your Muay thai.

Gotcha. I’ll add in the overhead press and see how I respond. The comment about Muay Thai and boxing…I didn’t think of it that way but it makes practical sense.

Its why guys like Rampage skill set stays the same. In sparring he just counter boxes, he is really good at it. But he would be better if he mixed it up. Do as much as you can. You will find that with a good coach a lot of it is the same, regardless of which disciple.

I liked Rampage’s aggressive style during his prime but as Joe Rogan use to say, he rarely threw kicks as you mentioned, too.
I have an ambitious schedule I mapped out on MS word and this week I was able to stick to most of it. I trained 6 consecutive days this week and felt great because I started using ETS recovery. Do you think the training workload below is too little, too much, or just about right?
Boxing - 3x per week
Muay Thai - 2x to 3x per week
MMA - 2x per week
Wrestling - 1x per week
Grappling - 2x to 3x per week
Judo - 1x to 2x per week
Lifting - 2x per week
Roadwork - 3x per week
Map it out by days and time. I.E. monday 10am to 12 MT, 630 pm-930pm, MT, bjj, conditioning, ect… It’ll give me a better idea of the stresses on your body.
