Muay Thai + Weight lifting

[Ghostcel]

Currently doing 3x Muay Thai per week
Thinking about adding weight lifting
Smth like 3xMuay 3xGym per week
I feel like it’s overtraining
Thoughts ?

if ur young there's really no such thing as overtraining. underrecovery is very real though -- not drinking enough fluids, not eating enough calories (esp carbs for energy), sleeping <8 hours a night, etc. it can be too mentally taxxing but 3x MT 3x weight training seems pretty balanced.

 

[Deleted member 3328]

Gym should be 6x a week

 

[Deleted member 1089]

There is no point brah,
You are not going to have the energy for it.
I currently do muay thai 2x a week and lift 1-2x and im exhausted. I dont know how intense or how long your muay thai sessions are though. BTW its pretty hard to build serious amounts of muscle while training muay thai. But my tip if you want to grow is to EAT A FUCKING LOT. I started muay thai mainly to lose fat so I dont expect to build muscle.

Ah yea I guess it would ssuck a little more but if u keep protein pretty high and time ur carbs before practice u wont exhaust urself.

3x a week full body will give the same if not better results than ppl if you're in your first year of natty lifting

You wont gain any muscle at the gym if you are in a calorie deficit unless you are a complete begginer.

You should always do this,
I have been lifting for 2 years now and I have always gotten the best results on full body 3x a week.

Could you send me a pic? Maybe I could estimate it for you.

Yes but different splits might work better for others as long as they've made all the beginner gains

Maybe but I started doing 3x fullbody after my first year of training and I definetly got the best results then. First 2 years should be 3x a week fullbody and then at your 3-4th year you could move on to splits.

Yea check pms

Mine are 2 hours and we do extreme cardio so that when it ends everyone feel completely dead. I try to also do fullbody 2x a week but my body can barely keep up.

You train Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
Try doing an A B A schedule.
You can find good programs on various bodybuilding forums or if you want my personal one you could DM me.

You have good strenght/power genetics like you mentioned before about jumping. How much you benched when you started lifting?
