i was defeated in my first mma fight via Decision. I lost, i taught that i have a complete conditioned armor. But during the fight I found out that it’s not enough. SO basically, BASED on your article, I only have anaerobic and aerobic capacity. MY strength, power, functional strength and MUSCLE endurance are limited. in general I am not fully conditioned.

buy some gym membership.

To build strength do low reps of high weights (4 sets wiv 6-8 reps of 15kg or whatever pushes you).

Give a day or two rest in between each muscle building workout or you’ll get nowhere.

For muscular endurance do low weights in high reps. (8-10kg - 15 reps, 4+ sets)

By the way. for best effect eat or drink high protein / milk or supplements. Pre and post workout. or either.

For quick speed bursts practice sprinting and creatine will give you more bursts of energy for longer.

Also for the weights, every other week or so add the weights so you lifting more as the weeks go by.

I can’t stress how much your diet has to do with it.

There is no quick solution, just stick to it and it will come. heres a link for you http://www.grapplearts.com/Sport-Specific-MMA-Training.htm

you young guys should join your highschool wrestling team for some cheap and valuable experience. also to get into good shape its about what you think. eat healthy, lots of lean protein, run, and lift weights.

great article. People have to learn that to become a good MMA fighter, or any other in fact, then conditioning should be a priority with fighting technqiue. Without good conditioning it does not matter if youre superman, after three minutes you will not have the stamina to show your ability.

Great tips, I find Swimming every other day for an hour, and running on a bike every other day for an hour does wonders for Cardio. When I first started training I was 5″10′ (almost 5″11′) and weighed 186. Im now 16 and I weigh 162. I would like to get to 155. Another big component in my workout is my diet. I only take in good carbs and high protein.
