MMA and Overtraining

**tallyjuice** · 07-06-2004, 07:23 PM

I train MMA six days a week at about 5 pm because of my schedule. I lift at 10am, M/W/F (DC method). Am I overtraining?

You shouldn't be. However I'd be carefull about going to failure on your weight training days. I train Kickboxing & Judo twice weekly plus weight train too. Your body will adapt to things, but don't be hitting failure too often, rest and good proper nutrition will see you right.

Mixed Martial Arts, typically Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, Vale Tudo, K-1 etc..

And, btw. I'm kicking myself I haven't replied to your PM. But the last few days I'm logging on from work and have to be VERY carefull which boards I open.
