Kickboxer looking to increase strength and power

[Odevans]

Glad to hear that it is going well.

Fingers crossed that you actually get an equal opponent. Good match ups seem very rare, these days.

yeah im progressing with my strength and the numbers are defo going up in the gym. I have dropped my conditioning circuits for now and have started to progress again. I think you are right in what you are saying. I am going to focus on my strength until the end of the 6 months i have set myself. After this i will mix up conditioning and strength sessions as i am in the middle of getting matched up for a fight sometime in novemeber.

My diet is spot on atm as i am now making improvements in my strength and also losing body fat ( i have always had a strong core but i now have a six pack!!! lol)

Thanks for the help. I just enjoy training as i find it a release from my work and general boredom. I would rather go training than play xbox or watch tv but think i need to reign myself in a bit.

i will kepp yo posted on how it goes!

Have you worked through a specific training phase yet? e.g. plyometrics, specific strength and power training ?, if not this would be something to work into a program for the future or even now as it makes a big difference to performance. If you just increase strength without working on power then you won't get the best results.
