Conditioning for MMA

[Caged]

I am about to head of Overseas for a few weeks, I know my diet and training is going to take a battering. So I’m trying to setup a conditioning program for when i return. This is going to be aimed at Muscle Endurance and power not outright strength. I am thinking something like this.

Warm Up:

5min Skipping

Kettle Bell Complexes : 20kg KB (If 1 handed Exercise its each hand)
10 RDL
10 Swings
10 Cannon Balls
10 Snatches
10 Turkish Getups

All of this 3times

Then the Weights

5*8 Squats
5*3 power Cleans
5*5 Bench
10 Chin ups
10 * 30kg Keg Overhead - Water Filled to make it unstable
50kg Tire Flips for 50m

then 10min on the Exercise Bike as a cool down followed by stretching.

What’s everyone’s thought on this. Like i said this is to build endurance and to Condition before i start training MMA seriously. Is this too much?


Thanks Dave

those complexes seem too short and easy if you are a fighter.... the KB complexes I do are much harder and longer then that and I train for stregth.... Id think u need to do a bit more if its for condtioning.

When i was doing kb's for boxing i was doing 3 min rounds with 30 seconds rest, using 1arm cp's, swings, thrusters, cannon balls. Each for 10 reps aiming to improve rep count each session.
Although imo you can't substitute time in the ring, 3 Min rounds with your oppoaition changing every 1-2 rounds.
