Lifting Weights and Martial Arts

Lifting Weights and Martial Arts

If you're doing intense martial arts training, you really can't be lifting more than twice a week at most.

I would recommend low-volume, low rep total body workouts twice a week just to keep up your strength. You will lose size inevitably with the heavy cardio work, though.

So like 3x5 sets of all the major lifts twice a week, alternating squats and deadlifts.

It's really not much, but in my experience if you're doing intense cardio with martial arts, your body can't take high volume weightlifting.

Just lift enough to minimize strength loss.
