Had my first Muai Thai class last week, booked two more for this week. Thank you for inspiring me to get off my ass and start training martial arts, mate. I feel so much better about myself already.
Timing of this actually couldn't have been better, started Muay Thai a month ago and have been struggling with the decision every day of lifting or training. Thanks so much for this!
Absolutely love these videos about martial arts and lifting weights mixing the best of the two worlds. You're really helping the manosphere. Can you also talk more about diet calories and macros
Having my first boxing class today (after watching your video on doing so) and I was having the same dilemma. I came to the same conclusion and it’s relaxing to know you feel the same. Thank you CEO🙏🏽
@@mike90susanoo84stress at the job, overthinking, Problems in realationship, family, even stupid traffic when u getting angry etc. All that burn your fuel.
Wow that's a good point especially if you're reading martial arts books. I got a few, and they can usually be completed pretty easily if it's a principle book and not a move/drill book. Anyway, finishing a book in a day takes true, invested interest, and you also need just that mental sharpness. For me, it's hard to garner, but I forget to consider that the brain burns calories too 😅.
Perfect timing bro. Trained kickboxing for 4 years and put on a lot of mass during lockdown, overtraining kickboxing/boxing without the proper diet will litteraly disintegrate your gains. Preciate the vid G
A bit late but here is my yearly program to balance this : Fall and winter : bulk phase while focusing on powerlifting + bodybuilding accesories. 4 days a week lifting and 2 days boxing Spring : cutting with less focus on powerlifting. Same program Summer : maintaining weight and gym progress by going to the gym 2 days a week + a day of doing explosive exercises. 3 to 5 sessions of boxing a week
Obviously someone with boxing skills is more likely to win against someone without boxing skills :D But if both have boxing skills, the heavier fighter is more likely to win (that's why weight classes exist). The point of this video was to explain how you can progress in both, boxing skills and weight (muscle mass)...
Not in the streets though small boxer gonna be outwrestled super easily.Hes not gonna be throwing hands quick when he is on bottom position with a heavier guy on top.I dont agree that boxing is the best self defence martial art.Its a good choice but the best is definately MMA or for pure striking its Muay Thai.For 1 on 1 fights the best option is wrestling/BJJ/Judo/Sambo, its safer to grapple and get where your oponent can not produce kinetic force to hurt you because in striking if you are a better striker your oponent still has a chance to win even if its slim but in grapling the better grapler wins 100% of the time.
@@Reypstraptor4269 yeah. I think lifting weights is necessary before you start fighting. I am 3 years and a half into lifting, got pretty strong and never sparred in my life, I just punched the bag 10minutes for 3 days a week for a few months and when a boxer that was 20lbs lighter than me challenged me to a sparring he got his ass whooped because his punches were too weak and I just hit him with some jabs and light straights until he realized that I'm superior. If we were in a street fight and went juggernaut mode on him he could've died. So be careful out there, small fighters, embrace the bulk before getting into trouble.
Good you pointed out yoga as well, weightlifting really tightens us if we don't act on it. if one manages to stay flexible and relaxed on a daily basis it'll be way easier to be efficient at fighting
Thank you Jack for this video! I definitely would like to balance weight-lifting and martial arts together. It really does allow you to become big and dangerous like you said in the long run. You are really helping the manosphere by adding a combat sport under their belt.
Fully j read my mind, have wanted to get back into martial arts but have been v focused on weightlifting. I’ll defo get back into it once I start my cut for next summer, I do miss it. Also would want to get you on da channel for a podcast type episode, j wait until I’ve got more of a following tho ;). God bless
Just made my return to boxing after 2.5 years of weight lifting I have built a nice frame from weights and I was worried starting boxing again and loose my mass this video just solved all my problems thanks my friend 🥊🔥
It’s crazy I already train like this minus the martial arts , looking to add some of that in , great video brother ! and he’s very right about the sauna / ice bath / steam room , all hugeee game changers
I really like how your videos are straight to the point and detailed at the same time. The informations that you put in them are fucking gold, simple and put in a way that we can easily figure out how to apply them to our life. Bro just before you put out your video on your schedule for martial art and weight training i had just started following the same idea as you but slightly different(weight 3h/4h a week (3 sessions) and martial art 4h (wrestling class and kickboxing class). I just came back from my wrestling class and i'm having a big fucking meal (like 300g of rice and 300g of greens vegetables + half a chicken) and i hear you talk about how we should have a big meal after burning so much calories. It really comfort me to hear that because i felt like i had to do that but just because i felt hungry, and now you're giving me the exact reason why i'm right to do it and even make me realise i should push it further. Definitely intend to support your product in some way to thank you !
My schedule is 3 days I hit the bag for 1hour (unfortunately I got no one to spar with right now) and 2 full body work outs focusing on the compound barbell lifts. I also agree with you, Idc to being the best fighter, as long as I can defend myself against 95% of the population I'm good. plus we should try avoiding street fights, it's too volatile and chaotic. weapons, being out numbered, encountering crazy dudes who are loose in the head. I just want to be okay at fighting and look big and jacked.
@@nathanielpatterson6963 Did you read my comment? yeah... but I even said I'm not trying to be a fighter in my previous comment. Who cares bro, not everyone who trains want to fight. Most people just want to train, lift weights, learn some boxing, learn some grappling, and thats it. Why does it matter if the bag hits back or not, I just said how I like to train and workout. What does bag hitting back, or fighting have to do with me going to workout?
@shadowX316 You mentioned defending yourself was important. Try to incorporate head movement into your training and that will help you build up your defense.
It’s not just about the muscle and strength you’ll gain, it’s about turning your body into a tank that can eat shots without breaking down. It’s just as important as skills training and endurance training.
1) Use cycles - 2 months focus on gain strength and keep martial arts skills, than go for 2 months martial arts focus 2) Use explosive exercises like clapping push ups, box jumps, kettlebell swings (it doesn’t replace strength work it’s accessory) 3) Split strength training volume, don’t do bro split, 1 big leg session in week is worse than 2-3 small session because you don’t get sore
Well said. Depending on everyone's goal tho, but if someone was to wants to build their musculature up with bodybuilding and strength, they can do that first some time while at least being able to maintain a bit of technique of whatever combat sport they're doing. Then once they reached their amount of strength or dream physique, then they can put everything into focusing on their main sport with conditioning, cardio, heavy bag pad work or whatsoever. Not too mention this could be a perfect cutting moment too for them incase they are also bulking prior.
Great video! Here are some things that have worked for me so far. Below is my split and some things I do Progressive overload with micro plates on compounds. I go up 1.5lbs a week Monday box and back/bis. DL, horizontal row, vertical row, curls Tuesday BJJ 2x classes (gi and no gi) Wednesday box and shoulders. Z press, push press, lateral raises, shrugs Thursday: Jiu Jitsu 1x Friday: box and legs. Light squats, KOTG regimen, shrugs Saturday 2x Jiu Jitsu (gi and no gi) Sunday: chest and tris and 2 hr sauna. Incline bench, flys, close grip, shrugs, and dips Eat as much as possible of clean stuff, PBJ has helped a ton. Sleep 9hrs a day
This video is so easy to follow along to, well laid out structure of what, when and how to do it instead of a bunche of rambling on about the science behind each movement. I've been training Muay Thai for the past year but have also wanted to go in the gym to build muscle, this perfectly describes what I want to do and now I know Great video mate I'll be applying this routine to my life and we'll see where this gets me.
I can attest to this. Started this year at 300lbs and received no recognition from women, but after dropping to 240lbs I can say honestly that I’ve received more glances and conversations from them. With self improvement, YOU CANT LOSE💪🏿
I have 3 days in martial arts but i also want to gain muscle and i was struggling to find a way to gain muscle and agility at the same time, this comes very handy
I was littarly thinking of this : monday fighting . Wednesday : basic drill's as warming up , and explosive functional training.. so , landmine chest presses , rear delt rows , face pull's , or using some cables to improve punch power / speed. Friday : leg day ( bodybuilding ) Saterday : upper body ( bodybuilding )
Great video! As someone who started off with purely combat sports, I was always unsure how i should go about a lifting regiment while at the same time still honing my craft. This vide helped a ton!
As a PT who trained n lived in the BB/Powerlifting lifestyle n training style, last week I officially dove into the muay thai world. Very early beginner stages. No sparring. Just understanding the basics. After browsing through several other channels and finally running into this one, I knew I was on the right path in splitting both worlds equally. I have a 3 day split of Mon. Wed. Fri strength training. Tues and Thurs Muay Thai. With maybe a Sat. thrown in starting this week or next. As of today I started rethinking my push/pull/ leg program on the 3 day split. Think it's better to engage in a full bod training style instead, just as you mentioned above. That sounds the most sensible approach. Great video overall. Cheers!
Fantastic video mate, literally what I’ve been figuring out on my own recently. Perhaps a good idea for another vid is how to balance being flexible/mobile for Martial Arts with being strong & powerful in the gym. At least that’s something I’ve been struggling with. It’s rare that you see guys who can deadlift a house and still do the splits, because to an extent physiologically the two are counterparts. Just wondering how you’ve managed to keep your kicks high but still have strong lifts in the gym.
great video, i put off boxing for awhile as i wasn’t sure if i’d be able to get as big as i wanted but i’m just gonna eat like fuck on the boxing days now
Quality info, I am doing the same for a couple of months just instead burpee's I am skipping rope, and instead pads I am doing shadow boxing , and for now I see massive difference in my performance and body look.
Exactly what the fuck I needed, been struggling with balancing between making these gains with lifting and improving substantially as a competitive fighter. Felt like I was overtraining and hurting my body unnecessarily.
I lost my first boxing match by unanimous decision 9 days ago, mainly because I lacked strength training, didn't even touch a dumbell just technique, sparring and cardio. My dad told me that there were many times where I could've my opponent out cold if I was lifting but I put up a good fight. Time to start clanging and banging then!
Lifting for strenght does not increase your ability to produce kinetic force.The only benefit for martial arts is when there is grapling involved.Y ou may benefit from lifting compound movements in legs and hip mobility exercises but you need to alter the intensity, speed,form and rep ranges and it will be exactly oposite from what bodybuilders do . You need to train explosiveness not strength there are different muscle fibers involved in each.If you gain a lot of muscle yes you might hit harder just because you are heavier but that means fighting in a higher weight class so no advantage for you and also your endurance might suck if you gain weight too quickly so you are actually at a disadvantage.
U don’t need to start “lifting”. Like the guy said in the video, “functional training” is what’s perfect. Your dad doesn’t seem to know much about combat sports, no offense.
@@Reypstraptor4269 if he doesnt have any strength base the best way to get more explosive is just going to be to get stronger. compound movments heavy weight and low reps you wont put on weight unless your eating like a body builder. Find a good boxing S and C program that will balance strength work and conditioning would be my advice
My experience with this i have been trying to maingain for the last year while training almost every day and with a lot of cardio of course.I just wanted to focus on learning the skills and not worry about cutting or bulking and still lift somewhat consitently.I am around the same weight a year ago +2 kg but leaner and with bigger legs.So the main gain somewhat worked for me even if the proggress was slow.I am considering some mesocycles of 5k calories per day to try and bulk but i am not sure i can do a cutting phase afterwords without getting injured because i barely recover on a maintance.I might keep the main gain.
I also do a 3 day split for body building upper, lower, and full body then 4x bjj training, most of my lifts are compound lifts and for full body I do Olympic lifts
i switched from 5 days PPL to 3 full body workouts and 3 boxing sessions in a week. I dont do cardio specifically but my workout includes intense supersets and some additional isolation on days off. Im lean even though im bulking. I gain about 0.8-1kg per month.
I know I’m late but when I started karate 4 years ago I was introduced to other martial arts and I love strength and conditioning and I love karate and boxing conditioning the most
Glad I found this, i do boxing and I want to put on some muscle without getting to slow or unfit I wouldn’t mind doing some fights eventually so when that time comes I’ll replace weight lifting with more functional stuff
I’m fairly sure professional fighters can keep the basic compound lifts without being slowed down, they should just add functional training on top of it in my opinion. So basically you can probably get away with keeping bench press, deadlifts, squats, shoulder press, and rows (I recommend adding pull ups). You can actually find videos of UFC fighters lifting heavy. Mike Tyson has also talked about doing bench press when he was training. Something to keep in mind is that developing posterior chain muscles will help increase your punching power more than anything else. I heard a guy on this topic say “the hardest hitters I know are guys with big glutes and big backs).
That feast day sound like a legit testoterone booster. I would love to do that with some friends. too bad i'm the only man to even go to the gym and even more to train a fighting art
My approach is a little bit slower, but I'd like to know if it works well because I'm just starting.. Personally I'd do an Upper/Lower body split workouts over three days a week for two weeks to balance between Upper & Lower Example: WEEK1: Upper-MMA-Lower-MMA-Upper-OFF-MMA WEEK2: Lower-MMA-Lower-MMA-OFF-MMA Please let me know your thoughts on this Thank you.
Monday back and biceps. Tuesday boxing. Wednesday rest. Thursday boxing. Friday chest and triceps. Saturday Legs and shoulders. Sunday rest. High calories everyday.
started boxing recently. before that, I just did strength training and some running at the end of a week. didn't wanted to stop my strenght training, and after another intense boxing training session i forced myself to go to the gym.... needless to say it was a mistake, i overtrained, my cortisol spiked, i slept 2 hours in total that night. now i think i will do my gym sessions on days when i don't have boxing training
Initially, amateur boxing fights consist of 3 2-minute rounds with a minute in between to rest. It's basically a sprint. It's feasible for a bulked up guy to produce 3 consecutive 2 minute bursts of energy. When the fights get longer then maybe you should look into either using a more energy conservative style or cutting weight.
Had my first Muai Thai class last week, booked two more for this week. Thank you for inspiring me to get off my ass and start training martial arts, mate. I feel so much better about myself already.

My experience with this i have been trying to maingain for the last year while training almost every day and with a lot of cardio of course.I just wanted to focus on learning the skills and not worry about cutting or bulking and still lift somewhat consitently.I am around the same weight a year ago +2 kg but leaner and with bigger legs.So the main gain somewhat worked for me even if the proggress was slow.I am considering some mesocycles of 5k calories per day to try and bulk but i am not sure i can do a cutting phase afterwords without getting injured because i barely recover on a maintance.I might keep the main gain.
I also do a 3 day split for body building upper, lower, and full body then 4x bjj training, most of my lifts are compound lifts and for full body I do Olympic lifts
Just started Muay Thai last week. I Needed this video so badly. I don’t want to lose my gains if I can help it.
Joined a boxing class three days ago because of you Jack. Thanks a ton man!
How do you feel about yourself after joining?
Started Muay Thai recently because of you and friends.
Thanks bruda! 💪🔥
thanks for this video!
Geat video i was thinking about starting muay thai but i didnt know how to do it while going to the gim and this video is the answer
been needing a video like this liftings been harder since i started trainging mma and kickboxing
i switched from 5 days PPL to 3 full body workouts and 3 boxing sessions in a week. I dont do cardio specifically but my workout includes intense supersets and some additional isolation on days off. Im lean even though im bulking. I gain about 0.8-1kg per month.
1kg per month?? Thats insane. I started working out 8 monthd ago and only gained like 2kg even though my physique got way bigger
@@oggyfoxy i gained 6kg in 2months clean bulking
@@oggyfoxy nothing insane if u not gaining muscles at the same rate as newbie either u were fat to begin with or u not eating/training enough
@@Hitleraberham u kidding me right. Ur not natural right?
@@wingdingaster1084 it's doable
Thanks bro!
Incredibly useful!
Love this
I know I’m late but when I started karate 4 years ago I was introduced to other martial arts and I love strength and conditioning and I love karate and boxing conditioning the most
This is a topic I’ve been trying to get right for a while
RESPECT!
Gz on 50k
Feast like gladiators, I like that! 💪 Also you're on point regarding sleep.
Excellent
Glad I found this, i do boxing and I want to put on some muscle without getting to slow or unfit I wouldn’t mind doing some fights eventually so when that time comes I’ll replace weight lifting with more functional stuff
Thank you so much bro
i agree the goal is to be huge and look intimidating and at the same time actually be dangerous
Thanks G
Great video
Bro tysm this is exactly the vid that I needed🦍💪
This is awesome. Just what I had been looking for, thanks man!
Another very good video! Keep making more
Damn this was literally what I was thinking this last months of… thank you jack, really helped a lot king
Hes literally a genius (effectively)
Thanks for the info brother
Bro this is perfect for me
I’m fairly sure professional fighters can keep the basic compound lifts without being slowed down, they should just add functional training on top of it in my opinion. So basically you can probably get away with keeping bench press, deadlifts, squats, shoulder press, and rows (I recommend adding pull ups).
You can actually find videos of UFC fighters lifting heavy. Mike Tyson has also talked about doing bench press when he was training.
Something to keep in mind is that developing posterior chain muscles will help increase your punching power more than anything else. I heard a guy on this topic say “the hardest hitters I know are guys with big glutes and big backs).
Bro talks exactly like me dammit. I think i found my new favourite youtuber
That feast day sound like a legit testoterone booster. I would love to do that with some friends. too bad i'm the only man to even go to the gym and even more to train a fighting art
My approach is a little bit slower, but I'd like to know if it works well because I'm just starting..
Personally I'd do an Upper/Lower body split workouts over three days a week for two weeks to balance between Upper & Lower
Example:
WEEK1: Upper-MMA-Lower-MMA-Upper-OFF-MMA
WEEK2: Lower-MMA-Lower-MMA-OFF-MMA
Please let me know your thoughts on this
Thank you.
Ima start training twice a day 4 days a week. For my accessory workouts I’ll add some explosive movements🙏
Monday back and biceps. Tuesday boxing. Wednesday rest. Thursday boxing. Friday chest and triceps. Saturday Legs and shoulders. Sunday rest. High calories everyday.
Bro you are reading my fucking mind, I've looking for some explanation like this for ages.
Your MT training has been given you better muscles
My lifting program is the same. I'm now looking for a way to get some martial arts training
started boxing recently. before that, I just did strength training and some running at the end of a week. didn't wanted to stop my strenght training, and after another intense boxing training session i forced myself to go to the gym.... needless to say it was a mistake, i overtrained, my cortisol spiked, i slept 2 hours in total that night. now i think i will do my gym sessions on days when i don't have boxing training
Initially, amateur boxing fights consist of 3 2-minute rounds with a minute in between to rest. It's basically a sprint. It's feasible for a bulked up guy to produce 3 consecutive 2 minute bursts of energy. When the fights get longer then maybe you should look into either using a more energy conservative style or cutting weight.
