So you’re looking for strength training tips & tricks to get crazy strong like MMA & boxing athletes. But you don’t want to be mindlessly working out at the gym and wait years for results. I know how you feel. I’ve been there. So today, I’m going to share my strength training for MMA secrets to get you strong like an oxen in lightening fast speed.

But here’s the thing. The secret to strength training for MMA is this: Unorthodox. Never continue with the same old boring routines everyone tells you to do. Pure brute-force strength training for MMA will pay you dividends till the day you die. The fitness benefits are outstanding. I’m sure you’ve realized this already.

There is nothing you can do that compares to strength training for MMA. This is ultimate, unparalleled fitness training.

I know how most people who want fitness results think. They don’t want to be told they have to change things up completely. They want easy solutions. Big retuns.

Today, I’m going to expose the secrets of my strength training for MMA routine. How I train. It’s all about sticking to the basics. It’s not difficult. In fact, it’s easy.

If this doesn’t sound like too much braggadocio to you, read on.

Successful strength training for MMA has three elements:

1. Explosivity 2. Working your body as a whole 3. Raw power

All other things being equal, if you incorporate these three elements, you’ll get big returns fast. And these are easy to incorporate. I’ll show you exactly how.

Explosivity: Each exercise you do must be explosive. For 4-8 weeks, I recommend 3 sets of 10 reps. Then, I would change my workout up completely and do 1 set of 50 reps for each strength exercise.

When you are strength training for MMA, be sure to be explosive in your workouts. Be like a boxer. Go hard during the round then take a complete full rest between rounds. Being explosive will ensure you won’t get bulky and you’ll be pushing your body. This will improve your maximal strength levels. Incorporate heavy sets of 1-5 reps in certain workouts (which I’ll get to later).

Working your body as a whole: Strength training for MMA relies on working your core. An absolutely freaking amazing way to do this is “caveman training”. Brock Lesnar and other superstars use these strength training for MMA tactics. . . Of course. Caveman training means using your body’s weight. Hindu pushups are the top way to entire-body strength results. . . Using one exercise. If you’ve never done hindu pushups and you bench 400-pounds, you’ll still find them a challenge. This is pure strength training for MMA and wrestling.

I’ve noted many fighters who give up weight training completely for caveman exercises like hindu pushups because they feel so much stronger and better after only a couple weeks of doing hindu pushups.

Raw power: Strength training for MMA success requires exercises for pure raw pushing and pulling power. And no, I’m not talking about the bench press or bicep curls. In fact, fighter athletes rarely use this kind of average “joe blow” training.

Deadlifts, lower back exercises, heavy leg presses and pullups are some great exercises for pure raw power. Raw power comes from routines based on movement patterns in boxing and mixed martial arts. This involves bending, push, pull, twist, squating, lunging, and core stability. Strength training for MMA 1-arm tripod rows are great for building raw power. Many superstar boxing and martial arts athletes will also push a tire on a mat across the gym and then pull it back towards themselves. If you can do this workout, it’ll do wonders for you.

Getting stronger doesn’t mean getting bigger, or even necessarily healthier.   Nevertheless, I think a good, all around program of getting stronger will result in a healthier body, though not necessarily bigger.   Strength training is something both men and women of ages should be actively pursuing.

If you are going to strength train, and you should, consider these 5 tips as you exercise toward your fitness goals.

1.   Compound movements – No secret here, getting stronger means using the most amount of muscles in a given movement with the heaviest weights.   Movements like squats, chins, bench press, dead lifts, power cleans, and standing press all work not only multiple muscle groups but also involve multiple joints.   This is critical because getting stronger doesn’t just mean the muscles, but the underlying foundational ligaments and tendons too.

2.   Rest between sets – Ordinarily, I recommend resting as little as possible between sets.   Some of the old time gurus suggested never taking your hands off the barbell.   For each compound movement, you should do around 4 sets; pyramiding from a warm up set of 15 to 20 reps to the final set of 8 to 10 reps.   For the first 3 sets, you should rest no longer than 1 minute.   Between the 3rd and final set, you should rest anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes.   This is your max effort; you want to be fully recovered before you jump in.

3.   Slow movements – Your movements must be slow and methodical.   Not only does this reduce your chance of injuries, but more importantly, you eliminate momentum and recruit maximum number of muscle fibers.   That said, there will always be exceptions like power cleans, but as a rule – slow and controlled is best.

4.   Always move forward – You must increase either your weight or your reps every work out.   If you are doing pushups, then increase your reps by 1 every workout.   If you do pushups 3 times a week and you can only do 10 the first time, then doing 1 more each work out translates to 25 pushups by end of the month.   You have increased your pushup strength 2 and half times.   Add 5, 10, or 2lbs every work out to get progressively stronger every work out.  

5.   Change weights – Think holistically about your work outs.   Changing weights, moving barbells, and putting things back work your whole body.   When you change the pin selector and sit on the leg extension machine, you rob your body of an opportunity to build all around strength.   Stripping the barbells, adding the weights, etc. work your forearms, your traps, and your core muscles.   It is all good stuff.

These are some suggestions for when you are working out.   Of course, to get stronger, you need to rest sufficiently between work outs to give your muscles a chance to recover.   You must eat a well balanced diet that supports strength training.   But these topics are subjects for another day.

This is one of my favorite routine for strength training at home, and these days I am following this routine only (with some changes here and there. )
You can read and get Idea how I like to structure my routines. Trust me I am on of those guys who gets bored easily and changes his routines daily. So there might be a chance by the time you read this I have made some changes to this routine.
My Goal: Loose extra pounds and Gain Strength.
Possibility of achieving: 100%
Gears You Need: You don’t need much gear for this. I am thinking of utilizing Bodyweight Exercises right now, then probably in coming week, we might head out to Gym (2-3 times /week)and train there too. Anyways you should invest in good skipping rope.
Routines: Because We are going for strength, we’ll be going for heavy duty exercises.
Write down the list and follow me
1. HandStand PushUp
2. Handstand on one Hand
3. One Hand Pushup
4. Hindu Squats (100+)
5. One legged Squats
Abs training.
1. Sit ups
2. Janda Sit ups
3. Vacuum (sucking up your stomach)
Note : If you don’t know what exactly is Janda Sit ups. Just google for more info.
Handstand pushup fires up major muscles in upper body and after than doing Pushups would be huge task. But we are going to do it with some twist to routine.
We are not going for Failure in any of those exercise. Go to 80% of your limit, and start again to go for next 80-90% limit.
For Ex. if you failure limit is 10, we’ll do 8/9, then again cut down 80% of 8 , next rep is going to be for 7/8 and so on. and we’ll increase number of repetitions. . . Ok
My Handstand Pushup goes like : 10, 9, 8,7,6, start again with 9,8,7,6, again 8,7,6, 7,6, 6 total of 110 push ups.
I know most people can’t go up to this, so do it until you are doing 80-90% of your failure limit, and with every set I m taking rest (rest time assume your training partner will take for doing same number of reps to do)
NOTE: if you are doing handstand on one hand, You might want to spread your legs little wide to balance. Reps are same as described above. Never go to failure. We want hardcore exercise, not failure.
This routine will fire up all the muscles in your body with pain. Use this routine to build muscles, stamina and lose all the fat in no time.

If you are considering adding some bulk to a thinner frame, and you wish to accomplish this through varied methods it takes some creative thinking on different ideas to start with. Because of this it is necessary for you to know the various advantages that bodybuilding in general has to offer.
Body Building Exercises Defined
Deciding what body building exercises to use can be somewhat challenging due to the fact that there are so many variations available. However, once you figure out which body parts you want to work on you can narrow down your choices quickly.
Numerous up and coming body builders are of the mindset that the only real way to build muscles on their arms is to lift weights. This is not exactly the case, since lifting weights is certainly a beneficial body building exercise, it is not a good idea for beginners to do that prior to getting some arm strength through other ways.
Specifically, an ideal exercise to build the back of your arms (triceps) is pushups. Depending on the physical condition of a person prior to starting exercise pushups may be difficult to do, but pushups are an excellent way to begin and at the same time it reduces the chance of injury.
Gradual Increases
Start with just a few pushups, and as soon as you feel your the muscles in your upper arm begin to burn, stop.
If you are not in shape it is wise to start with only two sets of 15 repetitions each. Some even advise starting with as little as 10 repetitions. Gradually you will you will gain strength in the back of your arms. Pushups also have a strengthening effect on your shoulders due to the movement of the exercise and because you are supporting your upper body weight with this exercise.
For strengthening and building your legs the exercises of squats and leg lunges are an effective option. For those just starting out it will tend to be uncomfortable until your body becomes accustomed to it.
For those who are looking for more information on the numerous exercises that can be utilized to build up your body, you can go to your local gym to sign up for a membership and enlist the help of a personal trainer.
Another avenue to get more information is to go onto the internet for advice on the various exercises for beginners. With the right research, you are certain to find some beneficial body building exercises.
