Balancing Conditioning with Strength Training
I've started training with a lot more intensity lately. I typically weightlifted 5 days a week, now that I am training 3 days a week (MMA) I am having trouble getting into the gym to lift weights as much. I work early so there's no real possibility of doing weights in the morning and lifting weights after training is out of the question. I need at least one day of rest out of my week.
My question to you is this; since I realistically only have 3 days to weight train, how should i split up my routine? Or do you think I should cut back MMA training to 2 days? Back in high school I used to do multiple muscle groups when I worked out (chest/tris or back/bis) but I hit a ceiling fast with that routine. I now lift each muscle group on it's own day.
My thoughts were something along the lines of:
Weight Training Day 1: Chest/Back
Weight Training Day 2: Biceps/Triceps
Weight Training Day 3: Legs/Shoulders
Any suggestions?
