    Great video! From my experience once I gained 4kg in one month, it really affected my kickboxing sessions, and I gassed out pretty quickly, but then after only doing kickboxing for a few months, my cardio went through the roof, though I did ended up losing some mass. So I think putting on muscle has to be done at a slower pace, to allow your body to adjust to the weight. But also having too much muscle comes with bigger oxygen requirements, so for a fighter to have too much muscle will always be a disadvantage.

      In essence a similar experience to mine though I had been a gym goer weighing in at ~72kg for a few years and then made the transition to Muay Thai. After a couple of months of training purely Muay Thai 2-3x a week, I weighed in at 69kg and felt much quicker and agile. I really loved that feeling and I'm trying to get back to that state while maintaining 1x a week gym session.

      ​@@Sam-rb1id I did not put on too much fat, my abs were still visible. But my legs did ended up getting bigger, because I trained them differently, so maybe that might be the reason.

    Full body 2x a week (M & Th) and then boxing/muay thai with plenty of burpees and bag work on the other 2-3 days is working like a charm so far for me. Building muscle, strength, and keeping my striking sharp. Though I’ve been striking since 2017-2018, so for beginners it’s best they learn the skills with a lot of focus and a coach first

  • @avanderwolf49
    @avanderwolf49 8 місяців тому +20

    Something that also really helped me was having this viewpoint of building strength (muscle mass), turning that strength into power (explosive movements, plyometrics) and then keep that power with endurance. Its hard finding that balance fo building muscle mass and then while getting more into any combat sport, turning that muscle you've gained into power. And as you continue to do that things will start to even out and the strength training is very progressive overload.

    Awesome video dude. I started doing Bodybuilding 2 years ago at a gym where they have a big heavy bag, so I started training Boxing & then incorporated Kickboxing as well. I was around 74-76kg when I started, did weights & boxing training 6 days a week & in 1 & half years I've gotten to 85kg. Till I was 85kg it was no issue for me to weight train & then do Boxing combos on the bag as skill development & cardio but now I am about 88-90 kg & don't have enough energy because of the weight I've gained but still Box/Kickbox 4 times a week & lift weights 6 days a week. I have not experienced any loss of speed just a general loss of Cardio.

    I do heavy bag training after full body strength because I find this is good for relaxing my muscles. Speed-ball training and shadow I usually do before full body strength for warm-up because reflexes are much better and I'm fresher. Stretching at the end of training and on every free day after soft shadow boxing.

    8:31 Spot on on the shift from weights to boxing. I started out just weightlifting over 2 years ago and only at the start of this year did I start boxing, and only 2 months ago did I become a pure boxer. The change in speed was dramatic. As much as I dislike McGregor, he's right to say that precision beats power, timing beats speed, two things hindered by weightlifting, in my experience.

    Muscle building like a bodybuilder, would be detrimental. Full body strength endurance is the way to go.

    Know what you want from both to be able to get to a certain level for each. As much as there isn't a one size fits all neither is there a single source where all the knowledge that you need can be extrapolated from. You can learn from everything which you see and experience. I feel that's how you can build depth to get to a desired level.
