IMO, if you are starting out in MMA you need to focus heavily on endurance and skill training. 90% of your training time should be skill and endurance. Once you have reached an adequate level and competing as an amateur or early pro, you figure out your style. That’s when the more focused strength and conditioning comes in. So much easier to build up from an endurance base, and MMA skill training will work a lot of the anaerobic.
I hold that one should practice both at the same time. Despite what people say, i think their is an immense edge that you can have over your opponent if you say, back squat way more than them. Strength Training gives you intense leverage over your opponent. As a HS Wrestler i need to train in all aspects, i don't see this replicated by some guys on our team; and im sure within a couple of months i'll be piecing guys up on the mats. I'm nearly at an Advanced Strength Training level thanks to my extensive Weight Training class i took last year along with training at home. The fatigue was crazy but the athleticism and mindset i've gained from combining these practices has been immense. My intuition tells me that if i keep up this fairly intense pace with all disciplines, the gainage will be immense.
I’ve done mma for over 10 years and I wanna give my two cents on this, back before I did mma I did kyokoshin karate and we had a saying. If the oponent is 10 years younger or 20 years heavier, they are on belt better. Strength has such an immense advantage and an insane edge against your opponent, do both.
@@thegreatboppilini9006 Mat skills prevailed brother, I don't wrestle anymore, I'm joining the Marines now so my philosophy has definitely taken a drastic shift, i can recall my first live sessions though got absolutely pieced up brother lmao 🤣, good memories with that team. I should note that the muscle did play an important role, I had significantly more athleticism than some of the guys at my same beginner type of level and thus a very noticeable amount of potential. I never absolutely committed to wrestling I should note, so take that previous comment from almost a year before with a grain of salt. Now my efforts are focused towards endurance, cardio, etc. Most of that strength and muscle that I had before has mostly petered out, I've returned to that mid-low Intermediate level in regards to my Strength Training and my Upper Body's in solid shape but definitely not my main goal now. After bootcamp I plan on picking that grind back up though
Great video! Found one slight mistake that is very easy to make. You said "all.major planes of major planes : squat, deadlift, push, pull" these aren't the planes of movement these are the fundamental movement patterns but all of them occur in the same plane. There are 3 planes of movement sagittal, front and transverse. All the compound moves you listed take place in the sagittal plane. The frontal plane would be movements such as a Cossack Squat, lateral raises, hip abduction or oblique crunches. And the transverse plane is rotational movements such as russian twists, landmine Twists, woodchoppers ect. Not commenting to be wide, hopefully someone can find this information helpful.
As always good content. No influencer wanna be coach BS but real methodology. I know all this but it's nice to watch once in a while a learn a few things.. Thank you!
The speaker emphasizes the importance of training the ATP-PCR system for high-power outputs and the anaerobic glycolytic system for high-intensity, longer-duration activities. For the ATP-PCR system, non-fatigue, maximal effort activities lasting up to 20 seconds with 2-5 minute rest periods are recommended. Regular strength training, plyometrics, ballistic exercises, and HIIT can effectively train this system. The anaerobic glycolytic system kicks in when the ATP-PCR system runs out during high-intensity activities and produces lactate and hydrogen ions, leading to exhaustion. Effective training methods include compound lifts with high repetitions, HIIT, and circuit training. For the aerobic system, the speaker recommends interval training, with 2-8 minute intervals and short rest periods, along with high-intensity interval training, which trains both aerobic and anaerobic systems simultaneously.
I have a slight problem when people say long term endurance and cardio are not mma specific. While perhaps true for actual fights, you absolutely need a strong aerobic base to be able to train effectively for long periods of time. It also stimulates recovery and helps prevent injury.
Lol when you said High intensity interval training for the third time I died laughing. I was like ok so you can do hiit for the atp pcr and anaerobic lactic system now I just need an exercise for aerobic and I get hit with the “you can also use hiit btw”. The fact that you can use HIIT for all three of the systems is hilarious
I think it is important to train all three aspects in a proper MMA routine. HIIT training followed by Strength training can probably train the Anaerobic systems, but its is 100% important to do sprints, morning jogs and rope skipping separately for aerobic training. I think a good solid MMA work should involve all these aspects along with you technical training.
Explaining zone of work would be a good way to people learn how to do it. The recomend just 25 minutes ..... well if you do tempo work yes but for zone 2 is not enough
In that case, the best program for MMA fighters is CrossFit; the original old school version of the 2000’s & early 2010’s era. Old school era CrossFit would be more than enough for any MMA fighter.
This really makes alot of sense! I do wonder tho, if the aerobic system is more useful than this video makes out; useful also to raise the bar for the intensity of activity possible before engaging the anaerobic system. In a sport with weightclasses, the strength difference is not immense, and cardio becomes more important. So shouldn't you also place some emphasis on high volume zone 2 cardio training.
You should incorporate all of them because despite relying on the same methabolic pathway they train different caracteristics. For exemple lifting heavy weights trains strengh while plyometric exercices train explosivity.
thank you so much for the information, I was wondering if you would consider making a video on the neurotransmitters and hormonal changes throughout a fight and if there is any prep for depleting them I can do
I am so glad I chanced upon your videos, it is so informational. Thank you so much and please keep up the good work. Btw I am a kickboxer and figuring out how to train to have explosive roundhouse kick. I saw you have videos for boxing, wrestling and MMA. If possible please do a video on Muay Thai or kickboxing please.

@@chrisdiaz4876did the muscles lead to victory or did mat skills triumph?

More of your coaches fault if anything
Message my coaching account if you still need help @aaronpierrecoaching I will do a S&C plan for you
As long as your winning more than your losing your doing ok 😊

This is by far the best "science" based material for fight training on RUclips. Simple and effective in explanation. Keep up the good work

I think he should have called Anaerobic system training Moderate Intensity Interval Training (MIIT)
Yo I already knew most of this info but I am impressed by how comprehensive your breakdown was, Good Shit brother.
Very good video and explanation. I have experimented with all sorts of training and I can say that what you said is true. Great information!
Respect to the channel and the creator. Thank you for this fantastic resource 🙏🙏

Agree. You need to have a good foundational aerobic base. Ideally low impact but obviously running is king.
Should you try to incorporate all the different methods into your training, or choose 1 method for each energy system when designing your programme?
You should incorporate all of them because despite relying on the same methabolic pathway they train different caracteristics. For exemple lifting heavy weights trains strengh while plyometric exercices train explosivity.
Please please please I'm dying for a part 2
Thank You For So Much For So much valuable content
Bro nice video but instead of kickboxing I would choose muay thai because knees and elbows can also be good weapons in your arsenal
This video is incredible
absolutely amazing! thank you I will add this to our training.
keep the knowledge going
Work to rest ratio for boxing is way higher than Mma and boxing isn’t just punching it’s a whole body workout 100% especially at the elite level
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
This is fantastic content
Excellent Vdo sir, lots of thanks for giving knowledge, 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for the knowledge I will honor it through my discipline as I train ❤
thank you so much for the information, I was wondering if you would consider making a video on the neurotransmitters and hormonal changes throughout a fight and if there is any prep for depleting them I can do
This is a great teaching tool thank you !
Thanks bro, new sub
Ross Enamait's Infinite Intensity is simple and great for boxing or mma
great video
Do you guys train them all at once or should I use a training block of time for each system
I think periodization is key!
Either concurrently or transition from base aerobic work toward higher intensity anaerobic work
You are greatest ❤thank you for everything
What's the difference between HIIT and Circuit Training?
You need to make a MMA based workout
I am so glad I chanced upon your videos, it is so informational. Thank you so much and please keep up the good work.
Btw I am a kickboxer and figuring out how to train to have explosive roundhouse kick.
I saw you have videos for boxing, wrestling and MMA.

Good stuff
thanks for help
Genius ❤❤❤
Great Video, thank you!
Whats the difference between balistic training and plyometrics?
Do one for basketball players 🙏🙏
Hi! Should i do all the methods in every system or should i only choose one method when training? it would be great if you would answer me. Thank u
excellent
And Muay Thai
WHERE IS PART 2?
Psychological and physical aspects video?
What about periodization in training energetic system?
Volume low?
W
Could you do the same for bjj?
Saviour
more than the other guy *
Where is my shiiiiiirt?
Do a plan for us overweight fat short guys
Just start going to classes and spar and roll as much as your body can handle.
And lift weights for high reps
10 to 20 seconds sound sway too long 3 seconds is more than enough...
E du svensk?
Somehow became unsubbed from your channel for a few months. Im back
