Many people going to the gym lift heavy to get big, which is fine, but weight training for boxers and mixed martial artist needs to be a little different.

Lifting weights for a combat athlete needs to be explosive, so keep the weights light & due many reps. You want to simulate the movements & tempo of a fight, not only does this condition your muscles but it also gets your heart and lungs in fighting shape.

Warm ups:

Weighted shadow boxing

Push ups

Pull ups

Dips

Exercises:

Bent Over Row

Upright Row

Military press dumbbell & barbell

Good Morning

Split Squats

Squat & Push Press

Deadlifts

Again, keep the weight light & the movements explosive. Make sure to use Proper Form, we are lifting to get stronger for the fight not to injure ourselves.

 Getting good at MMA is like getting good at anything else, it takes repetition & consistency.

 A short list of things you need to get good at MMA:

1.  A good coach
2. Necessary training equipment
3. Training partners
4. A desire to get good
