@@menithereal Hey brother, ive been in body building for 5 years and ive built a big body ngl with good muscle mass on it, i recently got into kickbox x mauy tai tho and found out that my muscles are taking from my speed. I want to stay big or atleast the same size but at the same time increase my speed and agility in my mma as if i had nothing to hold me back. what do u think i should do. Great video btw
Probably one of the best channels. I 100% believe a boxer / fighter/ soccer player physique looks way better than a body builder and more practical for longeviy
Full body 2x a week (M & Th) and then boxing/muay thai with plenty of burpees and bag work on the other 2-3 days is working like a charm so far for me. Building muscle, strength, and keeping my striking sharp. Though I’ve been striking since 2017-2018, so for beginners it’s best they learn the skills with a lot of focus and a coach first
Great video! From my experience once I gained 4kg in one month, it really affected my kickboxing sessions, and I gassed out pretty quickly, but then after only doing kickboxing for a few months, my cardio went through the roof, though I did ended up losing some mass. So I think putting on muscle has to be done at a slower pace, to allow your body to adjust to the weight. But also having too much muscle comes with bigger oxygen requirements, so for a fighter to have too much muscle will always be a disadvantage.
In essence a similar experience to mine though I had been a gym goer weighing in at ~72kg for a few years and then made the transition to Muay Thai. After a couple of months of training purely Muay Thai 2-3x a week, I weighed in at 69kg and felt much quicker and agile. I really loved that feeling and I'm trying to get back to that state while maintaining 1x a week gym session.
@@Sam-rb1id I did not put on too much fat, my abs were still visible. But my legs did ended up getting bigger, because I trained them differently, so maybe that might be the reason.
I do 4-5 sessions of boxing a week, and 4-5 sessions of Upper/Lower. I try to lift in the morning and box in the afternoon/evening. Works for me as long as my sleep and nutrition is on point.
Im doing a Push/Pull-rest- Push/Pull/Legs- rest with 4 days of Martial arts (Judo and BJJ) and thats it: If you have good nutrition and sleep, and stretch, you can go on forever.
@@ZariguellazulHDI do full body 5x per week. Usually only 1 exercise per muscle group a day. and I do kickboxing and bjj 4x per week and I’m fine. Comes down to nutrition and sleep like you said
Something that also really helped me was having this viewpoint of building strength (muscle mass), turning that strength into power (explosive movements, plyometrics) and then keep that power with endurance. Its hard finding that balance fo building muscle mass and then while getting more into any combat sport, turning that muscle you've gained into power. And as you continue to do that things will start to even out and the strength training is very progressive overload.
muay thai guy here however as someone who loves to lift but really wants to get better at martial arts this really helped me get my head straight. thank you for not over complicating this video
I personally go for 3 weights and 3 boxing sessions a week as I love the idea of being a decent boxer but also enjoy putting on size and building athletic muscle. I’m loving it so far
What I currently do is 2 x Muay Thai and 4 times gym: Monday: Muay Thai Tuesday: Pull Wednesday: Muay Thai Thursday: push Friday: rest Saturday: legs Sunday: upper body
Been looking forward to this one, I just started boxing last week and I’m looking forward to getting back to hitting weights. I can’t wait to see my progression in the weeks, months, and years.
My priority is very vague: I want to be an active 70 y.o. guy. So, it is a fairly flexible goal that allows for a lot of different approaches. The way I combine gym and boxing is by doing it 6 days a week, spending a lot of time at a gym, and allowing myself a lot of rest time in between different exercises.
I do heavy bag training after full body strength because I find this is good for relaxing my muscles. Speed-ball training and shadow I usually do before full body strength for warm-up because reflexes are much better and I'm fresher. Stretching at the end of training and on every free day after soft shadow boxing.
I think doing day 1 Pull, day 2 Push, day 3Legs, and day 4 boxing works, followed by a rest day and repeat works well; (for asthetics over boxing). Your days will be a little all over the place but recovery is good
I think if you try to balance weights and fighting, it is best to use fully body trainings so that one muscle group isn’t overly sore and weakened the next day. I do 3 full body weightlifting sessions and 2 kickboxing sessions and i never have trouble with performance and recovery
I want to fulfil my anime charcter fantasies. 3 weight sessions a week, 3 MMA (2 striking focused, 2 grappling). Lots of sleep and some orals. Bro split. My advice: work in phases. Have some aesthetics focused months in the offseason, then have some fighting focused months where you maintain muscle mass, usually the competion season. Also work on fight strategy, rely less on cardio and speed and focus more on precision and planning. Of course train cardio and speed to the fullest but be realistic about it in the ring.
What works for me best is doing a 3 day full body split with 2 days dedicated to boxing, which prioritizes rest and also hitting each muscle 3x a week. (7 weeks before a bout I'd switch up it to prioritize the camp but if there's no bout this is what I'm hitting) Looks something like this: Monday - Full Body Tuesday - Boxing Wednesday - Full Body Thursday - Boxing Friday - Full Body Sat & Sun - Rest
this man found a perfect schema. box push box pull box legs rest. what makes you training every single muscle every week for muscle growt and stil getting your heart trained + the love for both sports. glad you make this kind of videos! :)
@@menithereal I have a question, what if the “weight” training im doing is just a full body workout a couple times a week, the upper body movements are dips and pull ups or movements of that nature with the occasional shoulder raises. the lower body is usually explosive bodyweight movements, this doesnt seem to fit the schedule you described for a boxing focus but im barely doing any weights im just prioritizing my relative strength and explosiveness, is this going to hinder my boxing progress?
@@menithereal sounds good, idk i feel like if im prioritizing bodyweight movements then it shouldnt affect me at all, because i did some research on this and found that bruce lee, mike tyson and even mma fighters today such as connor mcgregor use calisthenics in their strength and conditioning and i always notice a weakness in my shoulders when sparring or hitting the bag which is also why i decided to include lateral raises in my workouts, everything else is just bodyweight and plyometrics though, i box everyday btw except two days since the gym is closed one day and the other is just running, i usually do this 2-3 times a week and two of them are on the rest and running days.
Completely tore my pec and labrum trying to manage jiu jitsu and weight training. 6 months later I’m switching split from one day bjj one day weight training to jiu jitsu the first three days of the week, rest, push pull legs, rest. Beware of the dangers of strength training when it comes to muscle tears
I do push/pull strength /10m cardio day 1 Boxing drills/core day 2 Swimming/optional rest steam room/hotub day 4 Boxing drill day 3 Mandatory Rest day 4 Legs/arms/light heavy bag drill day 5 Swimming optional rest Fun day, anything physical I find fun, biking, swimming, raquet ball, badketball ect. Day 6 Mandatory rest day. Day 7.
8:31 Spot on on the shift from weights to boxing. I started out just weightlifting over 2 years ago and only at the start of this year did I start boxing, and only 2 months ago did I become a pure boxer. The change in speed was dramatic. As much as I dislike McGregor, he's right to say that precision beats power, timing beats speed, two things hindered by weightlifting, in my experience.
Well, I had pretty different experience from doing weight training and bulking transfering to fighting skills. It felt waaay better to be heavier and I didn't feel like I was gasing out at all. But maybe it was just heading for my appropriate weight, as I used to stay at very low weight before in order to fight in lower divisions.
You can also do a full body workout. the results of full body are very good if done properly and the muscle fatigue is much less, so countering DOMS I ve been lifting for years and full body helped me PR all of my lifts for week after week. Make sure you have good programming 2 or 3 sessions per week
Gaining muscle vs fighting fit has always been the dilemma, fighting fit is aways the preference as long as I live in a big city, to gain muscle & remain fighting fit is the ideal! Glad someone addressed this topic
I do PPL 1x a week, MWF. I hit 5 sets. During those days I do 12 rounds in the morning and the resistance training at night. Tuesday and Thursday I do about 24 - 36 rounds. So I’m really boxing 5 days a week with resistance training 3x a week. I take the weekends off training to be fully rested and recovered.
I definitely had a drastic style change after gaining 10+kg. I do muaythai, 1.71m (5'7), used to weigh 58kg now I weigh 70kg. Yeah, back then i did a lot of karate stuff, lots of high kicks, pinning kicks and elusive footwork, now I'm basically the average muaythai guy
Boxer here. I used to lift weights before I knew how to fight. Best shape ive ever been in. Now I box 5 days a week 2 hours a day.. and I’m as weak as I’ve ever been. I can’t wait to do some trial/error with this 🙏
I’ve started doing Muay Thai, had my second session today and I’ve been consistent gyming for a year now, I’m tryna find a good balance and this video helped me out, thank you
My current routine: Monday BJJ+Muay Thai Wednesday BJJ+Muay Thai Friday legs +Muay Thai Saturday push +drills with friend Sunday pull + drills with friend
Awesome video dude. I started doing Bodybuilding 2 years ago at a gym where they have a big heavy bag, so I started training Boxing & then incorporated Kickboxing as well. I was around 74-76kg when I started, did weights & boxing training 6 days a week & in 1 & half years I've gotten to 85kg. Till I was 85kg it was no issue for me to weight train & then do Boxing combos on the bag as skill development & cardio but now I am about 88-90 kg & don't have enough energy because of the weight I've gained but still Box/Kickbox 4 times a week & lift weights 6 days a week. I have not experienced any loss of speed just a general loss of Cardio.
im doing push pull legs 3-4 days a week including boxing muay thai as warm up and finishing cardio. got great results on strength , muscle hypertrophy and technique
As a 15 year I am still finding what's better for me i am gonna choose ppl + boxing split in between session If I start liking boxing training gota go all into the boxing
I do both. 😂 everyday..everryyyy. 3hours. Im used to it now and its amazinggg how my body works. Your body can do GREAT things my friends🥊🥊 love your videos brother you are a good man. Keep inspiring
Gained 5 stones from being away from boxing over the years. I only did weight training around 4 times a week, putting on a lot of muscle and fat because I let my diet go. Back into boxing now and the extra weight has drastically reduced my speed. I'm mixing up my boxing with weights but I prioritise my boxing over the weights now. I want to get my stamina and speed back in check
Nice video, it will help me to organize more my schedule, thanks👍. One thing that I want to say is that the weight training don't neccesarely will make you slower, it depends of how you train(slowly or explosively in each rep), and is neccesary develop your strenght first if you want to increase your explosiveness more properly(sorry if I wrote bad some things, I'm not a English native, and this topic is very hard and long😅, I can't put all that I want to say here) gran video de nuevo!
I box and use weight training / and bands for joint stability, neck strengthening and abs. Spend majority of my time boxing training. What helps my stamina in sparring is rounds on heavy bag.
12 rounds everyday. Legs/Abs/Run or Stairs every other day. MWF - full body compound movements with weights Sun - Strength and Conditioning. Spar at least once per week. Saturday -stretch/rest/walk I commit 2 hours daily to my workout. I have a boxing coach I dont care about aesthetics. Im 34. It may seem like a lot, but I barely go out or touch alcohol, so I feel like its really manageable. Ive been doing this for 2 years. I love to box, and im 5'6 140 lbs. since im small I figured I should get my hands right, and its been an awesome and fulfilling journey. I do a little kickboxing and intend on incorporating a little more of it to my boxing training. Also so elbows and knees. But the art of boxing isn't lost on me, im in it for the Long haul.
Thanks for this amazing video👊🏼 just started boxing at the boxing gym again after a year of absence and doing it at home. It feels gooood to be back!😄 You motivated me doing it, thankyou for that!❤️
I actually train MMA 3/4 a week and 5/6 weightlifting (approximately 1h) a week; for example at 6AM weighlifting and 7 PM MMA Session at the club; I make this because I really want gain weight for aesthetic (I really struggle for this) but also progress in MMA; And now when I see the vid and the comments - I question myself about this rythm - If someone have and I advice on this; I take
For me who wants to improve in boxing in the first place what works best is two weight sessions (upper + lower body) and 4 boxing sessions a week with one rest day. If I train multiple times a day I always get sick, so I stopped doing weight sessions after my boxing sessions.
I've been going to the gym for almost 2 years and I recently picked up muay thai. I'm trying to balance it, my split looks like this: Monday: back and hamstrings Tuesday: muay thai Wednesday: quads, adductors and calves Thursday: muay thai Friday: arms Saturday: rest Sunday: chest and shoulders
I practice Taekwondo and integrate the kicks with a traditional boxing style, for the boxing days it's important to recognise strength training can still be done. I will do sets of press-ups and squats, usually till failier, press-ups definitely improve punching power
I lifted weights and wrestled and did jiu jitsu for years. Now I started boxing and Muay Thai lifting weights is hard because I'm always feeling like I'm on the brink of an injury
Here's the thing: I do MMA 3/4 times a week and weight lifting full body 2/3 times a week. Whenever I can't go to a session because of time, I do the other. So I train 5-6 times a week in total. For both types of training I do 1,5 hours, focusing on heavy loads for strength or specific exercises for punching/kicking power and grip strength. With this training routine, I've passed from looking like Sean O'Malley to like Dustin Poirier. Nothing too crazy tbh and I've chosen to go and do a "body recomp" process, cutting away the whole bulk/cut process. I hope this could be helpful, let me know if this is a shit plan or not
hey man so ive been watching your boxing videos for some time now and i just wanted to say that youre one of the main the reasons ive started boxing at 14, keep up the work bro!
Bro I just discovered your channel yesterday I your content is legit af! I’m a huge boxing fan/advocate but I love looking jacked as well so this video checked off all the boxes. Keep doing ya thing big dawg!
im 210lbs, 6'2, i love gym and been lifting for 16yrs now (im 31), started muay thai last year, my regime looks like this monday - muay thai wednesday - muay thai saturday - gym sunday - gym fits my lifestyle best at this moment of life, i think its individual for each, so u have to find your own. i could go to gym on tuesday/thursday during luchbrake, but i feel as im getting older i dont recover that fast :(
While preparing for a festival next year im currently preparing with gym and kickbox, Thai box and bjj. Currently focusing on the boxing and adding the gym again in the near future. Since i love doing both.
After 7 years of kickboxing, I found that kettlebells, macebells, calisthenics and general straight and conditioning is the most effective way to supplement combat training.
CRAZY when I was young it literally didn’t matter. I’d run and box / spar in the morning go to lift weight and then track practice right after. Now I could not dream of doing one of those and being ok lol
what i do is monday chest arms . tuesday box/spar wensday back shoulders box thursday legs box friday chest arms box saterday back shoulder sonday rest i do strenght trainning just heavy lifting so i am focus on compound lifting
Know what you want from both to be able to get to a certain level for each. As much as there isn't a one size fits all neither is there a single source where all the knowledge that you need can be extrapolated from. You can learn from everything which you see and experience. I feel that's how you can build depth to get to a desired level.
I'm doing full body workouts on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, doing boxing on Thursday. Feels good for recovery but could probs fit in another boxing session
"Great video! I'd like to share my routine. I do weight training three times a week, focusing on chest, back, and legs. I kick things off with a 20-minute boxing warm-up, followed by a 30-minute weightlifting session. For example, on chest day, I stick to bench presses, and for legs, it's squats all the way. After that, I spend 20 minutes on the heavy bag, which helps reduce muscle soreness. Once a week, I also have a one-on-one boxing session, and another day is dedicated to a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group class. This adds up to five workouts a week. While I might not be aiming for massive muscle gains, it keeps me feeling good, especially less pain when muscle recovering. Anyway, that's my routine!"
Man, thank you for taiking your time for doing this because i been so unbalanced for months and this fixed everything. Btw you should do a virtual sparring video bro. Keep grinding man
this guys criminally underrated
Haha thanks brother

Just starting this myself! What sort of program you using for the gym? I’m doing 12-16sets of each muscle group per week
Should u box and strength train the same day
Same here. The only down side is if I’m having a muay Thai sparring session, I cannot do leg day afterwards since my legs are beat up😂.
@@xeroz3446if your taking boxing seriously do your boxing first then weightlifting later but yes you should be lifting and boxing same day

If you put ib 4kg in one month you probably mostly put on fat (unless you started a steroid cycle?).

4kg in a month?
@@rashidgorkhmaz5901i think your fat is just more naturally in lower bidy so when you gained bf it went mostly to legs
1. Monday heavy bag striking, grappling mobility drils, assault bike cardio ... 2. Tuseday bench press, rows, overhead press, lat pull down ... 3. Wednesday Rotational core ketellbell, plank, front squats, deadlifts ... 4. Thuseday circuit training ... 5. Friday mma sparing ... 6. Saturday streching ... 7. Sunday rest day.

Unless your coach can’t do morning sessions id lift after your boxing less injury risk but at least you grinding 💪🏽
@@ZariguellazulHDhorrible to do push pull legs mate rather focud on calisthenics with EMOM
And that's why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique in the world
He doesn't even have the most aesthetic physique in the UFC but to each their own. I'd rather look like Paulo Costa.

Respect Brother.. I am a journalist and TV presenter and I am following you from Algeria
My current routine:
Monday BJJ+Muay Thai
Wednesday BJJ+Muay Thai
Friday legs +Muay Thai
Saturday push +drills with friend
Sunday pull + drills with friend
Judo groundwork. Gives cardio and strength training especially core .
Yeah he pretty much covered it all. Good video.
Awesome video dude. I started doing Bodybuilding 2 years ago at a gym where they have a big heavy bag, so I started training Boxing & then incorporated Kickboxing as well. I was around 74-76kg when I started, did weights & boxing training 6 days a week & in 1 & half years I've gotten to 85kg. Till I was 85kg it was no issue for me to weight train & then do Boxing combos on the bag as skill development & cardio but now I am about 88-90 kg & don't have enough energy because of the weight I've gained but still Box/Kickbox 4 times a week & lift weights 6 days a week. I have not experienced any loss of speed just a general loss of Cardio.
im doing push pull legs 3-4 days a week including boxing muay thai as warm up and finishing cardio. got great results on strength , muscle hypertrophy and technique
As a 15 year I am still finding what's better for me i am gonna choose ppl + boxing split in between session
If I start liking boxing training gota go all into the boxing
I do both. 😂 everyday..everryyyy. 3hours. Im used to it now and its amazinggg how my body works. Your body can do GREAT things my friends🥊🥊 love your videos brother you are a good man. Keep inspiring
YT algorithm listens to what i say i swear. started going to the gym 5x and boxing 3x but its tiring af especially since i’m not rly fit rn
Gained 5 stones from being away from boxing over the years. I only did weight training around 4 times a week, putting on a lot of muscle and fat because I let my diet go. Back into boxing now and the extra weight has drastically reduced my speed. I'm mixing up my boxing with weights but I prioritise my boxing over the weights now. I want to get my stamina and speed back in check
Thank you for this, I’m a lifelong martial artist and I plan to utilize your tips in my program.
Literally having a problem with this dynamic as we speak, the video is very timely 🖖🏽
Nice video, it will help me to organize more my schedule, thanks👍. One thing that I want to say is that the weight training don't neccesarely will make you slower, it depends of how you train(slowly or explosively in each rep), and is neccesary develop your strenght first if you want to increase your explosiveness more properly(sorry if I wrote bad some things, I'm not a English native, and this topic is very hard and long😅, I can't put all that I want to say here) gran video de nuevo!
I do push Pull Leg monday wednesday and Friday, while Tuesday and Thursday, I do box , as a sport
Been looking for a video like this and its annoying i couldn't find one and out of the blue i find this thank you.
I box and use weight training / and bands for joint stability, neck strengthening and abs. Spend majority of my time boxing training. What helps my stamina in sparring is rounds on heavy bag.
i’ve been running 2-4 miles every day, boxing in the morning, and gym right after 5x a week
12 rounds everyday.
Legs/Abs/Run or Stairs every other day.
MWF - full body compound movements with weights
Sun - Strength and Conditioning.
Spar at least once per week.
Saturday -stretch/rest/walk
I commit 2 hours daily to my workout.
I have a boxing coach
I dont care about aesthetics.
Im 34.
It may seem like a lot, but I barely go out or touch alcohol, so I feel like its really manageable.
Ive been doing this for 2 years.
I love to box, and im 5'6 140 lbs. since im small I figured I should get my hands right, and its been an awesome and fulfilling journey. I do a little kickboxing and intend on incorporating a little more of it to my boxing training. Also so elbows and knees.
But the art of boxing isn't lost on me, im in it for the Long haul.
Thanks for this amazing video👊🏼 just started boxing at the boxing gym again after a year of absence and doing it at home. It feels gooood to be back!😄
You motivated me doing it, thankyou for that!❤️
Thanks! Great to hear! Keep us updated on your progress brother
love the journey youre taking my man. great to see
Thanks bro!
WOW THIS WAS THE EXACT VIDEO IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
This question has been on my mind for weeks now. King Meni back with another awesome video. thanks brother! 🔥
Hahaha thanks man!
Fuxking weight lifting stopped me from going to pro level boxer, always had my heart in between!!
very good video finally someone who understands that there are weight classes for those who wish to compete
I actually train MMA 3/4 a week and 5/6 weightlifting (approximately 1h) a week; for example at 6AM weighlifting and 7 PM MMA Session at the club; I make this because I really want gain weight for aesthetic (I really struggle for this) but also progress in MMA; And now when I see the vid and the comments - I question myself about this rythm - If someone have and I advice on this; I take
Gym twice a day for 5 days a week. Strength training in the morning and then boxing at night. (Assuming there's no equipment at home)
I felt that Leon edwards quote!
For me who wants to improve in boxing in the first place what works best is two weight sessions (upper + lower body) and 4 boxing sessions a week with one rest day. If I train multiple times a day I always get sick, so I stopped doing weight sessions after my boxing sessions.
I've been going to the gym for almost 2 years and I recently picked up muay thai. I'm trying to balance it, my split looks like this:
Monday: back and hamstrings
Tuesday: muay thai
Wednesday: quads, adductors and calves
Thursday: muay thai
Friday: arms
Saturday: rest
Sunday: chest and shoulders
Only twice a week isnt enough, that'll slow down your progress a lot
Currently doing:
Lower body
Upper body
Kickboxing
Kickboxing
Full body
I practice Taekwondo and integrate the kicks with a traditional boxing style, for the boxing days it's important to recognise strength training can still be done. I will do sets of press-ups and squats, usually till failier, press-ups definitely improve punching power
Thank you so much man you help me. I was searching for Schedule and you help me thank you
Nice video I follow upper lower or full body from mindpump then box 1-2times a week
I personally do 3x per week fullbody weight training, and in between those days i either do mma/boxing or rest. Hope this message can help y’all
I lifted weights and wrestled and did jiu jitsu for years. Now I started boxing and Muay Thai lifting weights is hard because I'm always feeling like I'm on the brink of an injury
Here's the thing: I do MMA 3/4 times a week and weight lifting full body 2/3 times a week. Whenever I can't go to a session because of time, I do the other. So I train 5-6 times a week in total. For both types of training I do 1,5 hours, focusing on heavy loads for strength or specific exercises for punching/kicking power and grip strength. With this training routine, I've passed from looking like Sean O'Malley to like Dustin Poirier. Nothing too crazy tbh and I've chosen to go and do a "body recomp" process, cutting away the whole bulk/cut process.
I hope this could be helpful, let me know if this is a shit plan or not
Wat do u mean by the “1,5” hours? Like 1-5 hours or?
Excellent video, it couldn't be explained more clearly than that. Exactly what I needed. Thank you, sir.
hey man so ive been watching your boxing videos for some time now and i just wanted to say that youre one of the main the reasons ive started boxing at 14, keep up the work bro!
I appreciate that, brother. I'm glad I could help you start this journey. Look after yourself, and train hard. Thank you for watching my content.
Bro I just discovered your channel yesterday I your content is legit af! I’m a huge boxing fan/advocate but I love looking jacked as well so this video checked off all the boxes. Keep doing ya thing big dawg!
im 210lbs, 6'2, i love gym and been lifting for 16yrs now (im 31), started muay thai last year, my regime looks like this
monday - muay thai
wednesday - muay thai
saturday - gym
sunday - gym
fits my lifestyle best at this moment of life, i think its individual for each, so u have to find your own.
i could go to gym on tuesday/thursday during luchbrake, but i feel as im getting older i dont recover that fast :(
Love that I Boxe 3 times a week, I run 3 times a week and gym 3 times!
While preparing for a festival next year im currently preparing with gym and kickbox, Thai box and bjj. Currently focusing on the boxing and adding the gym again in the near future. Since i love doing both.
After 7 years of kickboxing, I found that kettlebells, macebells, calisthenics and general straight and conditioning is the most effective way to supplement combat training.
i do calisthenics + boxing , lots of push ups/squats/pull ups + cardio
CRAZY when I was young it literally didn’t matter. I’d run and box / spar in the morning go to lift weight and then track practice right after. Now I could not dream of doing one of those and being ok lol
just go to the gym twice a day. weights in morning. boxing for your second session. ive been doing it and it works well
How did you read my mind dude. Exactly the video I wanted
what i do is
monday chest arms .
tuesday box/spar
wensday back shoulders box
thursday legs box
friday chest arms box
saterday back shoulder
sonday rest
i do strenght trainning just heavy lifting so i am focus on compound lifting
i am trying to get around 100kg so thats why i do alot of gym plus i do roadwork sometimes
Gunna take this and apply it with my Muay thai. Thanks brahh
Know what you want from both to be able to get to a certain level for each. As much as there isn't a one size fits all neither is there a single source where all the knowledge that you need can be extrapolated from. You can learn from everything which you see and experience. I feel that's how you can build depth to get to a desired level.
I'm doing full body workouts on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, doing boxing on Thursday. Feels good for recovery but could probs fit in another boxing session
Do u go to an actual boxing gym?
Very nice video thank you for sharing
"Great video! I'd like to share my routine. I do weight training three times a week, focusing on chest, back, and legs. I kick things off with a 20-minute boxing warm-up, followed by a 30-minute weightlifting session. For example, on chest day, I stick to bench presses, and for legs, it's squats all the way. After that, I spend 20 minutes on the heavy bag, which helps reduce muscle soreness. Once a week, I also have a one-on-one boxing session, and another day is dedicated to a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group class. This adds up to five workouts a week. While I might not be aiming for massive muscle gains, it keeps me feeling good, especially less pain when muscle recovering. Anyway, that's my routine!"
Bro is insane i subbed and liked really needed someone to guide me and i found the one ❤️
Excactly the video that i needed
Great video . Will share it with my friends .
I was literally thinking this but in regards to bjj thanks
Man, thank you for taiking your time for doing this because i been so unbalanced for months and this fixed everything. Btw you should do a virtual sparring video bro. Keep grinding man
This is something I've recently been struggling with. Great video. Made me rethink my routine.
