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

[KhalifBeats]

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

[rashidgorkhmaz]

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.

[Staroy]

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.

[filipcesnjak]

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.

[Noe]

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

[avanderwolf]

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.

[nicholaspeter]

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

[stanehering]

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.

And that's why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique in the world

[sugaatime]

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

[smk-ste]

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

[JB_Sejour]

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.

[husnainsher]

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

[Bogdanko]

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.

[tyree]

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

[papaijoao]

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

[Labrador]

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.

[franekkowalski]

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.
