There are no real benefits, MMA is more of a fad losing steam. Boxing is much more beneficial then MMA will ever be.
As long as you don't over do it, it can only help
I practice practice MMA about 5 times a week and do strength and conditioning 2 times a week. So I train every day. Since I have School break now for a month, I was thinking of doing additional strength and conditioning in the gym before 3 of my MMA practices.
However I can’t think of a good exercise-plan that is beneficial for MMA and I also suck at nutrition, eating right and so on. So I would be thankful if anyone could help me with a basic program based on everything I do.
A little info about me:
Male, 17 years old (almost 18), 5’8, 70KG (154LBS). About a year ago, I weighted about 81KG (178LBS). Then I decided to loose all fat and extra crap, so I just started training hard, running, pushing myself, just doing primitive training and not caring about eating right, overtraining and all that. It worked I lost allot of weight, but I still seem to loose weight to this day and I’m guessing it’s because I train everyday and don’t eat enough.
Mondays: Muay Thai, Tuesdays: MMA (Wrestling based), Wednesday: Muay Thai, Thursday: MMA (Wrestling based), Fridays: Hill training, Saturdays: MMA (Grappling), Sundays: Strenght and conditioning (Circuit training). (All of my workouts are highly intense)
Please help me with the exercises I can do on the workouts I’m planning on adding and also a good nutrition program.
