Hey I have posted this in the stand up forum as I was not to sure if it belonged there or here....mods please remove the thread if it does not fit here With the holiday season amongst us, I have some time off work and want to make the most of it by training twice a day in prep for a hard January aimed at improving my muay Thai technique However in the next 3 weeks I want to do some weights (and continue this) but I am not to sure what weights/reps/routine I should be following to complement Muay Thai... any hints and tips? My daily routine will follow the below AM: Run (5-10k)/Skip (5 rounds 3 min) PM: Reserved for weights....but what weights? Thanks
Focus on legs but if you are only going to do it for 3 weeks it's pretty pointless... That's not enough time to have any real effect.
If you're planninga on starting to strength train for the long haul and not just for 3 weeks then look up Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Basically you just need a program that has A. A focus on compound barbell movements (deadlift, squat, bench, etc) B. A planned progression for adding weight C. A set/rep scheme focused on strength (3x5, 5x5)
Thanks guys - the 3 week holiday period is to really hit it hard and kick start a routine After which I will I continue with the weights, but drop the morning Cardio - work, wife & kids will limit the amount of time I can carry on training Will look at Starting Strenght by Mark Ripetoe - is that one of the threads on the forum? Thanks
