pissed up bull in a china shop Member 684, 319 posts SQ 205, BP 155, DL 275635.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Anyone here done or are doing any Martial arts? I've trained Greco Roman wrestling for about a year a couple of years ago, i've just started back training freestyle wrestling and love it, but it sure f**ks up my strength routines. Anyone here incorporate wrestling or boxing or any other MA into there strength training? And how much "bar" strength did you lose? I suppose i'd be happy to maintain a 250k DL and a 115 overhead if possible. Also did the barbell work enhance your Combat sport? Or is it better to just concentrate on soley training for the combat sport? ie knock strength training on the head. Cheers for any replies. | ||

 as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11329 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I've wrestled and Boxed since 1999, moving on to MMA, BJJ and Muay Thai in 2001. When I wrestled and did jiu jitsu my back strength was the best it's ever been. I could do 27 wide grip chins (I was only 11-12 stone). I started squatting and deadlifting about a year before I stopped wrestling and found that going from a 120 deadlift to a 170 deadlift aided me immeasurably especially in my pickups, suplexes and defensive wrestling. My base became so much stronger. As far as Thai went, my legs could keep me upright much better when I took a bad one in training. My punching also went up in power a bit as a result of the extra hip, leg and core strength. It's not advisable to lift like you would normally lift when training hard though. I couldn't do any more than 4x4 for the squat once a week and 4x4 deadlifting once a week without burning out. At that time my schedule was like this. Monday: Jiu Jitsu technique/sparring and Squats in the evening. Tuesday: Striking padwork/sparring. Sometimes positional wrestling drills. Wednesday: Jiu Jitsu technique/sparring. Striking bagwork Thursday: Deadlifts Friday: Off Saturday: MMA technique and sparring. Sunday: Off I benchpressed a little bit but found that it had no relevance to either wrestling or striking so stopped. I'd say that the 4x4 system could be used in conjunction with your Combat sport training if you eat properly and rest properly. Olympic lifts such as the clean and jerk and snatch have been in use with top combat athletes for the better part of the last couple of decades. You will lose a bit of strength and weight but I never had any problems with moving down a weight category as I found that I was much stronger for my weight than I was in the category above. www.cagewarriors.com Used to have a lot of top athletes posting before things went a bit downhill recently. It still has many great coaches though so is worth a shot. | ||

 potatoes contain no protein Member 635, 458 posts SQ 230, BP 145, DL 230605.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq | i found when boxing that high reps should be abandoned totally.deadlift is king for ko power ,squat a close second.i only did 3 reps for bench and 5-6 reps for shoulder press.i kept the reps low but heavy for everything else. if your hitting a bag for 3minutes 10 rounds a few times a week thats repitition enough look at shane mosely website his training template is very good.im back doin a bit of mma and my elbows get pain after grappling if im doin reps on bench sho or triceps but im doin low reps and pain is gone. | ||

I didn't know Mosely had a good site. I can't find his routine? I think higher reps for stuff like rows, shrugs would be alright they're not areas that would kill endurance, but yeah not the big lifts because they will take their toll on recovery, flexibility, etc. Keep it short and snappy! | ||

Sadly too much "oh weights slow you down" in boxing. If you train once or twice a week for strength and power, not size specifically, there is no reason why it shouldn't improve your assets in the ring. It's veeeeery old fashioned in that respect. Stuff that used to work works, sure, but nobody would not be benefitted from some extra power or strength in the ring. | ||

Didn't remove it mate, its tagged on to the end of one of my training vids. I never really combined the two, I was either fighting or lifting weights. Wrestling is f**king brutal so if I was going to lift as well it would be a very abbreviated basic routine. | ||
