5 Foundations Of A Basic Mma Strength Training Routine
So what does it take to make it in the Mixed Martial Arts? Do you really have to be super human? The subject is one of debate, but you do have to train real hard and intensely. Training and eventually competing in the MMA will take much more than just building muscle. If that’s all it took, I could just write an article about Body Building and call it a day since I have a background in Muscle Building.
But there’s much more to it than this. Here are some things you should consider incorporating into any successful MMA Strength Training Routine.
1.) 4 Basic Strength Lifts – The 4 main strength movements are the Squat, Bench Press, Military Press and Power Clean. These lifts will really tax your cardiovascular system and give you strength at the same time. Just these movements when done consistently over a period of months and years will build solid strength and muscle mass.
Train hard for 6 weeks or so then take a week off. Stick to the basics in the gym. Sure the dumbbells and cables are useful and can cut you up, but the 4 exercises above are bar none the best for adding solid mass to your structure. siswo.
