Wondering if I could get a critique of my current workout…
MMA curriculum (boxing/muay thai/wrestling/bjj): 3-4 nights a week, 2.5-4 hours a night (technique/sparring).
Strength and Conditioning: 2 nights/week (about 1.25 hours each session)…on each night…
- Scrapper’s Workout #1 (doing about 90% of reps with proper rest in-between)
- Variation on Taku’s Interval Cardio (5 3-minute periods on elliptical [arms and legs], 75% resistance, sprint for 20 sec, active recover for 10, repeat five more times, active recover for 1 minute, repeat all that for four more times for 20 minutes, active recover for 5 more minutes).
Rest 1 day.
Although I’m probably in the best shape of my life, I feel like my cardio and strength are plateauing (reps aren’t going up, cardio isn’t getting markedly better)…plus I feel like I’m ignoring a lot of agility/coordination drills that could help my sparring.
Challenges:
1) Would like to improve agility/coordination.
2) Not too familiar with free weights/don’t have a training partner for lifting.
3) Hard finding a personal trainer with experience training combat athletes (I’m in Austin, TX, USA), so I could learn how to lift properly.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
