Firstly hi to all on here been buying MP for a long time but never saw the forum.

Info:
Training: 2yrs lifting, 4mnths MMA fighting - 4-5 timer pr week
Pre train - 9st v skinny, NOW: now 76kg which is about 11.5 i think.
Suppl: Whey, Creatine, BCAA

Questions:
1. I began cutting about 4 months ago to improve my muscular endurance for fighting because as you can imagine after 2 years of just lifting my stamina was appauling. I'm fairly well cut now but i feel id like to increase size about 8kg or so. Thus does anyone know of any good methods of increasing size and maintaining muscular endurance for fighting i.e what type of training mechanisms?

Oh yeah while im at it i might aswell post what i found gave my the best gains:

Training: Size
1. Doing heavier squats (a lot more often), New deadlift variations, Weighted dips and Chins, Preachers for arms,

Training : endurance:
1. mixing sets of chins, chair pressups , med ball with bag rounds and sparring. In the gym i would super set everything just about and now get it down to virtually no rest and push myselfs alternating muscle groups

nutrition:
1. When gaining having many Egg, whey, Peanut butter, BCAA and Porridge shakes was vital to absorb a large amount of calories as i found my metabolism was so fast i wasnt hungry enough for massive amounts of solid food

great shape man! how tall are you? and roughly how many calories are you taking in w/ non-wo days? also do you low carb or anything?

5'11, i dont strikly count my calories as ive got accustomed to the right amount of food but i stick to getting my complex carbs early in the day and cut down at night before sleep to keep cut. night is mainly proteins and good fats to keep muscle and help burn fats.

that sounds spot on advice, I'm going to bookmark this for refernce for any future newby questions. No faffing around with daft numbers or curls or lat raises or how to eat what and when. Just the basics and nowt much else, plus with pics to prove it works.
