My MMA workout

[Machdiesel]

I recently started doing kickboxing/BJJ and realized that my BB routine just isnt gonna be effective for my new style of training. Here what im thinking of doing, wondering if im MAASIVLY over training

I take classed mon-thurs friday off then saturday. The classes consist of minimal cardio, maybe 5 mins of sit ups/push ups, But mostly sparring and working technique n learning new stuf, keeping this in mind heres what im thinking.

MONDAY and FRIDAY
Morning- DO a weight lifting circuit. Im gonna do the team quest workout, where u load a 25 on the bar, n do like 7 exercises back to back, 8 reps of each, liek bent rows,squats, good mornings, all this stuff. You do this complete routine 6 times. Then after this ill do a full body circuit, like flat DB bench, to lat pull down, to tricep, to bI , to legs and so on, And do this 6 times as well.
NIGHT- Fight class


Tuesday and thursdays
Morning
Im gonna do the team quest plyometric program(upper and lower body)
an externsive ab routine, then do 2cardio circuits,1st- like 3 minute hitting the mitts, 3 minutes heavy bag on the ground pounding, 3 minute jump rope. Do this a few times. Then do a cardio circuit like suicides, sprawls, jogs, n things along this line.
NIGHT-classs
WED
MORNING
This day im gonna do 4 Big lifts for overall strength, and keep myself strong, Prob Squat, Flat, Military, Clean, and do heavy weight
Night- class

Saturday ill prob do 45 mins on a bike, then class, and sunday either off or 45 mins on a bike

So basically Mon and Friday do full body circuit training, WED Core lifts, and tues thurs agility/speed work/abs

I might as well show you my diet as well, what you guys think, is it enuff cals?

Meal 1
8 eggwhites
2 pieces whole grain bread
1 cup of kashi protein cereal

Meal 2
1 can of tuna, 1 serving of mayo

Meal 3
3 whole egss, and 2 eggwhites, 1 serving mayo(eggsalad)
2 pieces whole grain bread

Meal 4
Either chicken,fish,steak or chicken and either brown rice or whole wheat pasta, equals about 60 grams carbs, 40 pro


Meal 5
either chicken,steak,ground turkey... No carb source

Im gonna see how i react to this diet. I just started doing TONS more cardio then im used to, and with the new training im sure ill drop weight very rapidly, ill see how it goes, if im hungry ill just throw in a shake or another meal. I used to be all about bulking, getting big and loved BB, but now that im getting into fighting my goals have completly been flipped upside down

[zimmy]

good luck with it man... i dropped trying to juggle the gym (bb wise) and bjj / muy thai. I do full body split into 2 days for power / explosiveness. No point in trying to gain muscle (size) cus i don't have the time to let my body heal :|

oh and btw... u didn't post your macro's on your diet...but a little lite don't you think?

[Machdiesel]

yea i def thought it was alittle light, but like i said im not trying to bulk, just maintain. Im gonna see how it goes, but im guessing im gonn have to add a meal, and maybe even a shake also

[zimmy]

have you calculated what your daily maintenance is? I'm a larger guy but my maintenance is around 3200 cal a day :|

[Machdiesel]

yea mines around that as well, im 6'1 193 21 years old. The only prob im feeling in my body right now is my legs get worked EVERYday, i mean even when im doing suicides, sparring, i constantly feel my legs being worked, But i guess thats the sport, n have to condition them more, it seems like my body will never get ne rest, except sundays , COMPLETLY OFF

[Machdiesel]

Bumpidy bump, ne suggerstions, thoughts?? Im new to MMA and wondering how this workout looks, i took alot of the exercises n programs from team quest, but they dont outline when to do them n how often, so i just put this together?

i started training bjj and muy thai about 6 months ago but i still lift i train bjj three days a week from 6-8pm and my muy thai 2 days a week 6-8 and lift in the mornings before i go to work 4 days a week. i dont lift real heavy anymore but i still do pretty much my same workout routine just make sure that all my sets are between 10-12 reps and that i stretch real good after i workout both lifting and training. i also started about a month ago running 3 miles a day 3 days a week and will probably work my way upto 5 miles. I was in pretty good shape when i started training but no amount of cardio can prepare you for a 5 minute round if you have never done it before. good luck with your training

nice info bro, good to hear someone still keeps the weight training the same. i also changed my WO to 3 times a week sometimes 2 depending on my recovery and keep doing circuits and HIT workouts but im thinking of returning to a regular 4 time a week training split but checking out the WO isnt too intense so i can recovery but i'll start an AAS cycle pretty soon focused on LBM only no bodyfat allowed there maybe burn some, that would be awesome.

oh by the way i also train muay thai, bjj (submissions basically, no gi) and freestyle wrestling but im focusing most of the time on wrestling.
