this was posted by QuietstormM33 good post btw.

do many people go by this routine? or is there other routines that people would like to share, i am currently training 5 days a week weight training, but that was for muscle and strength and a change wouldn't hurt also.

any help and info would be great.

thanks

It’s really a matter of preference, a lot of guys do weight circuit training, going from one exercise to another non stop to combine the resistance work with a good cardio workout. (Have a look at Rich Franklin’s workout routine if you need an example of this, you should find it on youtube)

Personally I disagree, I think weightlifting for fighters should be heavy compound lifts and the cardio should be done separately or along with sparing.

I agree with both methods and think its a matter of cycling the workouts.

I find that I'm constantly balancing between strength and cardio. When I focus on my lifting I get so much stronger but my endurance in grappling suffers and vice a versa. The main problem is that I only have a limited time (6hrs/wk) to train. The best overall balance for me is a workout cycling medium weights and plyometrics. I'm not as strong as when I'm lifting heavy but I'm explosive and I can last on the mat. Good luck to you.
