Prep for Nov. 28th Fight

First off, thank you for taking your time to help me fine tune my routine.

I’m putting this routine under the bodybuilding section because I plan on concentrating on my weightlifting/conditioning for this thread. I want to have the most efficiently possible routine (including nutrition) until/after my mma fight, which is Nov. 28 at 170lbs.

I will concentrate on high calorie breakfast, a high protein/low carb ‘snack’ every 3 hours until i lift/train which is when i will have a high protein/high complex carb postworkout meal.

My weekly split is as follows (Sun, Tues, and Thurs I train with sparring partners, otherwise I hit mitts and heavy bag)

Sunday (light)
MMA Training: Grappling, standup circuits, technique

Monday
Chest/Back/biceps
3 mile jog, 3x3 minute heavy bag, 3x3 minute mitts

Tuesday

1x9 minute round of contin. with fresh partners every 30 sec. no rest
