4 MMA Workout Strategies For Optimal Strength And Conditioning

4 MMA Workout Strategies For Optimal Strength And Conditioning

  1. Are you looking to improve your MMA and martial arts athleticism and strength? 
  2. Are you ready to enhance your MMA fight skills for grappling and striking? 
  3. Are you ready to make your body more bulletproof from injury? 
  4. Are you interested in building some real world strength for serious fitness and fight performance? 

I have been fortunate in my lifetime to train in the martial art of Muay Thai under one of the best fighters…my friend and Kru Jeff Perry. Jeff is retired from Muay Thai now, but is still very much a human weapon. I also had the honor of programming Jeff’s MMA workouts for his national title fight to defend his U.S. title belt back in 2003.

Since then both Jeff and myself have helped to train several Thai and MMA fighters for competition over the years. I genuinely love helping fighters get an advantage putting them through my system and today I want to share with you a few MMA workout strategies to help you elevate your fight game and supercharge your performance in the ring!

4 Guaranteed Ways To Get A Functionally Strong Body

4 Guaranteed Ways To Get A Functionally Strong Body

1. Are you functionally strong?

2. Are you unclear on whether you’re functionally strong, or not?

3. Is your training approach designed to help you build a strong, lean, functioning body for the long haul?

4. How high of a functional value would you rate your current fitness and strength program? 

If you’re unsure as to the answers to these questions then you’re in the right place. There’s only one way to pursue fitness. I don’t care if you can bench press a 1000 lbs and squat 2000 lbs.. Because at the end of the day you’ve got to be able to bend over and tie your shoes. At the same time, you’ve got to be comfortable with getting on and off the ground. This process shouldn’t be too cumbersome.

The 5×5 Method…

The 5×5 Method…

I just have to shake my head at the new enthusiastic crop of strength coaches that come out of school full of excitement and ready to start athletes on a perfectly modeled and text book regulated periodization plan. Hell, like them I understood why they came out of school like this because it’s exactly what they were taught.

Don’t get me wrong a properly applied periodization plan is an effective plan for building a strong athletic body ready for most any physical task. However as we all know real life just flat out can get in the way of stuff which is why we’ve got to be more nimble in our approach if we expect to be effective strength coaches.

MMA: Final Week Strength And Conditioning Workout For My Competing Fighters!

MMA: Final Week Strength And Conditioning Workout For My Competing Fighters!

Mixed Martial Arts Fighter by ChristopherjSmith

The following workout consists of my final training week for 2 of my competing fighters after a 6 week plan. The focus of this last training session was to emphasize big core movements for the optimal development of strength, power, and speed. There has been a steady increase of intensity (increased weighted resistance/volume) over the course of the 6 week periodization plan. There is also some additional emphasis on cardio with the inclusion of more strength endurance/mobility based drills along with combining lifts with a  superset structure. Feel free to give this a try, but ease into the volume and amount of weight being lifted. Make sure that you progress by executing a quality lift rather than allowing heavy weight to compromise your technique!
