Athletes have different needs than the typical yogi. They come to the practice with more tightness from hours spent training, little time for lengthy sessions, and at the height of the season they often abandon yoga classes altogether for demanding sport-specific training. In this accessible guide, yoga teacher Sage Rountree makes it easy for athletes to reap the benefits of the practice year-round. Designed to complement a rigorous training schedule, the book inclu… More >>

The Athlete’s Pocket Guide to Yoga: 50 Routines for Flexibility, Balance, and Focus

Getting a good strength training routine when you’re first starting out in MMA is important because it’ll help you build a strong foundation from which the rest of your power will come.  It’s important to not jump into advanced training techniques right away because you’ll likely mess up or won’t benefit as much from them because they assume you’ve already hit a sort of plateau, whereas you’re just beginning and can actually benefit from core building moreso.

When you just start out strength training you should work out with a partner and use light weights to begin with.  Even if you are capable of squatting 150lbs, you should still begin with something between 80 and 100.  This is so you can get the motion down correctly and train your muscles to work correctly for that particular lift.  If you start out near your max, then you’ll plateau really quickly.  Having a partner is especially important when you’re doing heavy weights, which you will want to do eventually.  Many of the lifts can injure your lower back if done incorrectly, so you’ll always want to have someone watching your form and making sure you’re able to get up from a lift.

While exercising is important, you’ll also want to modify your diet so you can get the most out of your strength training routine.  Before you workout, you should eat lots of high quality carbs to make sure you have plenty of energy.  After a workout, it’s important to consume protein – powdered whey protein is the best because it’s absorbed quickly.  Since you’re just trying to gain strength and not mass, you don’t have to eat a massive amount of food, but you also shouldn’t let yourself be hungry during any point in the day.

So, to recap on some of the key points I introduced:

1. Work with a low weight when starting out so you can get the form down.
2. Always work out with a partner since some of the heavy lifts can be dangerous.
3. Eat a good diet, but don’t go crazy with it.  You should eat carbs before a workout and protein after.

I also wanted to make a note that you should be working in the 2-5 rep range in order to have optimal strength gain.  Additional reps will not really increase endurance.  The best way to increase true muscular endurance is to do multi-step power lifts, like cleans and power straights.

Ultimate MMA Weight Training Routine

Hey there – thanks for visiting my MMA Weight Training routines information article. My name is joshua and I wanted to review a cool MMA Weight Training program, created by an expert MMA Fighter/Trainer – Eric Wong.

Not only does Eric know something about hard core MMA Training, but he has been training some elite MMA Fighters for quite some time. (Follow the link to see which ones)

Anyways, its commonly known that many MMA fighters can caught up in the weight lifting – you know, bulking up and all that. But if you’ve ever did some serious fighting you know that the endurance MUST be built upon. Muscles are definitely good -but they dont mean much if you cant lift your arm’s up at the end of a fight.

MMA Weight Training Routines- Check out the best MMA Training Routines.

What I want to do here is describe the “Ultimate MMA Weight Training Routine” and why it is the absolute best MMA Training program available. And why its great for a fighter to learn how to “Train” and not just “Work Out”.

The MMA Training Program That The Pro’s Use

From start to finish the Ultimate MMA weight Training routine will introduce you to some serious cardio and weight training techniques that will help you to do 2 things better than you ever have before:

Cut your training time in half or more Get 100% More out of your Training

The main goal is to get you fight ready. And to do that, we have to be able to make each training session more effective than ever. The more you acomplish with your time, the faster you’ll be ready for your fight’s. And spending EVERYDAY in the gym is not the right way to get ready for a fight.

By the time the fight comes you just wont be ready – either your endurance wont be up to snuff or you will have overtrained certain parts of your body and muscle fatigue can set in way too early.

The ultimate MMA Weight Training routine will help you to PEAK right at fight time – you will have optimal strength for power and you will be able to outlast your opponent – and THEN SOME!

All because you learned how to utilize your time effectively.

Not only will you learn things you never knew before -but every but of the MMA Training will be on video. This way you will be able to access ALL the training methods ANYTIME you need to. No being in the dark or falling behind. Its totally unique and the method pays off big time.


What makes this MMA Weight Training Routine so unique, and so in-depth, that it will provide you with more than ANY other routine:

How to develop power and endurance in your aerobic, anaerobic lactic amd anaerobic alactic energy systems.
More strength and power in all the major movement patterns, like:Lunge,bend,push,pull,squat,and twist.
Improve isometric endurance Improvement in all 7 Biomotor abilities.
Sagittal transverse and frontal plane core stability and lots more.

But even though this might seem like alot, almost impossible to actually incorporate all of this into your training routine -its not.

Actually, one of the major purposes of the “Ultimate MMA Strength and Conditioning” training routine is to spend LESS time while gaining MORE strength and endurance. And this is done by following the specially formulated Routine that Eric has created.
This routine is created and completed by answering those common questions that we all have had.

Finally know exactly when to do the following:

1.When to lift -how many times a week

2.When to use the medicine balls

3.When to do grip training

4.Stretching and when to fight through NGR System Complexes

This is undoubtedly the most complete MMA Weight Training Routine you will find. Not only is it was created by a virtual MMA Training Genius – But anyone can use and follow it to the T.

Go ahead and check it out now, if you’re ready:
