    Hey guys,

    After my triathlon on the 26th of July im going to go back to MMA training. I also want to get better with my lifting.

    Anyone got suggestions for 3 lifts which tie in with MMA?

    I was thinking the following:

    Clean and Press

    Squat

    Deadlift

    power snatches.

    rows may be beneficial as well.

    punch bag/ sandbag work is also good. i do punch bag carries for time/ distance using a bear hug grip, unclasped hands.

    dips will be great for arm speed!
    bench also for punches!

    a good 5x5 or something similar would be great!

    Hey mate,

    I did a bit of Jujitsu and BJJ at one point. The above lifts sound good!! I wouldn't do them for bodybuilding sets and reps though. I would probs do them for sets I could get 12 explosive reps out of. Good luck with training!!

    Do plenty of bicep curls (for strong uppercuts), tricep kickbacks (good for straight punches) and, of course, leg extensions for strong kicks.

    Work in the hypertrophy range so that you look buff too - this will intimidate your opponents.

    mate no offense but bicep curls/tricep kickbacks? (ps tricep kickbacks are the one of the worst exercises ever IMO)

    wouldn't chin-ups/dips be so much better? will use more than just them 2 muscles, as chin-ups will include the lats, dips will include the delts/pecs also?

    and hypertrophy? MMA is mostly strength athletes, hypertrophy will come with strength training (and more muscle mass you have, will make you heavier/slower)

    Фëдор Владимирович Емельяненко does tricep kickbacks for explosive strength, and his punching power is highly rated.
