ANy idea how you might train an MMA fighter. Taking into account that they are basically in season all the time and have usually no more than 8 weeks (sometimes as little as 3-4) notice before a fight.
Thanks

I wanted to get your thoughts on which program(s) I should utilize throughout the summer while training on the bicycle 2x per week. I limit my time on the bike in both sessions to slightly greater than 1 hour. The first cycling workout consist of 3 to 5 intervals ranging in length from 2 to 5 minutes followed by approximately the same recovery time. The second ride of the week is a strength session in the hills.
At present, I am lifting 3x per week while breaking my workouts down based on the plane of movement as opposed to body parts. My set/rep follows your suggested 30 to 50 count.
I like the idea of doing total body strength training 3x per week but worry that lower body training in addition to the cycling would be counter productive.
I do my best to ensure adequate caloric intake as well as including rest days in my program.
I’m starting BBB this week, but I have a problem. Because of my job, I only have 3 days a week available to work out, and BBB is a 4 workout/week program. I definitley want to focus on the upper body, so should I just eliminate one of the leg workouts or modify it? Or should I do another program?
Hey Chad, I’ve followed your writings for a while, taking bits and pieces out of each one, and even trying a couple of your routines for a couple of months. My question is this. . .
My goal in training is to get stronger for wrestling, mostly upper body wrestling as this is what I am going to nationals to compete in… Are there any specific lifts you could recommend that would be good for this, and also, any good routines or modifications to routines i could do? thanx.
btw, i am currently doing a modified westside routine with sandbag work, rock climbing once a week, as well as regular practice, but i have modified all that to work to a point where i dont burn out from overtraining to quickly…
Not sure if I can still get this in… I’ve been doing your programs for about a month and a half and I am seeing great growth. First was WM and now Lift fast. My question is about a problem I’m having. My arms are very achy, from my shoulders the whole way down. It kind of seems that I am not able to recover enough from one work out the the next, yet my strength keeps going up.
I’m eating well, following Berardi’s guidlines as close as possible and I normally get from 7-8 hours of sleep. Is there anything else I should be doing to recover faster? I have not started the 100 rep program yet, I was afraid the extra stress would make it worse.
