using cycles in martial arts training

[j3374]

I've seen a couple threads here about what to use while training Muay Thai and Jits. I'm pretty new here, and for all I know, it's been an ongoing debate for a while. I'm just suprised that the general response was about "getting bigger" and stronger and why that wouldn't help the endurance. I haven't heard much about recovering faster for daily or multiple times daily athletes or faster injury healing.

Does anyone recommend using cycles specifically for helping a combat sports athlete recover between hard daily training sessions? Anyone have experience with unnatural healing rates from injuries?

Im going to run Halo for 4weeks for a upcoming fight that shit helped with strength, endurance, and made pist all the time i love the stuff.

4 weeks? Short cycle. I guess you're using it just for your precomp. cycle?

most lifting cycles will help dramatically with strength in Jitz

kickboxing is mostly endurance though

i have found pilates to help open up my hips to allow BJJ to really be effective... being flexible is underratted and helps out to deter injuries... when i train we do a bunch of core exercies, using our partner's body weight to do sets of lifts and pushups, and medicine balls to throw around... MMA is really fun to train... i luv it!

Flexibility is difficult for me. I could use a lot of improvement there.

Seems like I've always got 1-3 nagging injuries I'm trying to train around. That gets old.

lol
so you have a flexibility issue and you are thinking of jiucing...kinda counter prodcutive to jitz. Flex is def important.
