You Can’t Separate Them 😂

Fighters love to post their 5k Run PRs, but wonder why they slow down a lot towards the later rounds or even gas out. This is because they’re not training the different factors that contributes to have an amazing gas tank 💯

If you look at the demands of fighting…you will see that there are varying degrees of intensities. Running balls to the wall for all of your 5k runs won’t train for those demands. There are also skills factors, nutrition, weight cutting, recovery, and mental composure involved as well 🔑

This is the difference between taking a science based approach towards your conditioning vs old school method of grinding every day. One allows you more time and energy to develop into a well rounded fighter, while the other will take away from your skills development 👊🏾

Let’s Break It Down 👀

1. Lifting for 2 months before your fight isn’t going to cut it. While you may make some gains…you’re leaving a lot on the table for your potential with your strength and power if you’re not lifting year round with cycles and progressions. Structured lifting and dialing in your habits to make efficient gains is 🔑

2. Feeling trashed for skills training due to strength training means that something is off. It can be from the guesswork program that you’ve made for yourself or your recovery routine needs a lot of improvement…I’m not referring to massage guns or ice baths either. Lifting like a fighter and dialing in your recovery will have you feeling sharp for skills training 💯

3. Group strength and conditioning classes usually has everyone doing the same exercises, similar weights, and then switch things up every session to keep it “interesting”. This is good for getting a sweat and feeling tired, but it’s not going to give you the gains that you’re looking for. You will need to lift consistently with cycles and progressions if you’re a serious fighter that wants to get the most out of your potential 👊🏾

I Can’t Even Make This Up 🤦🏽‍♂️

These are the conversations that I have with guesswork fighters that believe they have it all figured out. Doing a bunch of exercises with junk volume and sets is an inefficient use of time and energy that is not based on science 🤷🏽‍♂️

If your goal is to break a sweat or get tired & sore, doing stuff like this is perfect. If your goal is to level up your strength, speed & power…there’s a different way of doing things that is way more efficient 🧠

I’ve helped lots of fighters level up their strength, speed & power with a science based approach. They’re making efficient gains because they’re lifting for their sport, eating & recovering to support their gains, and have extra time to focus on their striking technique instead of feeling trashed for skills training 🔑

Tag a teammate that relies on the guesswork for their strength & conditioning for combat sports 👀

Let’s Chat About It 👀

1. How you bounce back after a disappointing loss is indicative of your mental strength and resiliency. I’ve seen fighters ghost after experiencing a devastating loss despite talking a big game about how they want a long successful career. I’ve also seen fighters process that disappointing loss and used that a motivation to come back as a even better fighter. Wins and losses are part of the sport…no one ever achieves greatness living life on easy mode 🔑

2. It’s a given that the majority of fighters will take their training seriously when a fight is on the calendar because they don’t want to make a fool out of themselves in front of a crowd. What I look at is how dedicated a fighter is about making gains outside of fight camps when there isn’t a crowd watching. Living the life of a dedicated fighter year round is a lot different than only taking things seriously during fight camps.

Let’s Break It Down 👀

1. While being a fighter is great…it really shouldn’t be your entire life. You’ve likely put family, friendships, and loved ones on the back burner to focus on your fight. Connecting back with the people that mean a lot to you along with taking care of life’s responsibilities creates balance instead of using fight camps as an escape from reality 💯

2. Unless this is your retirement fight…you’re likely to have a long career ahead of you. This means that the wins and losses are just chapters in your journey as a fighter instead of the ending. Your story is to become the best fighter that you can be and focusing on the process is they key to lasting in the sport 🔑

3. Each fight and tournament that you compete in provides data on what you’re doing well and what needs to further improve. Perhaps your cardio needs to improve further, or you may benefit from bulking up or trimming down…these new goals will help guide your training regimen in between fight camps to peak for your next camp 👊🏾
