I do a 40 minute warm up With 40 minutes of lifting every day.
As an example a work out might look like this: >40 minute jump rope >40 minutes of slow progression pyramid squat
I do it in this order: Bench-day, deadlift-day, squat-day and barbell row-day.
My friend says I should switch out barbell row With millitary press. I disagree because I thing I get the remaining muscles better With a dorian row. It would also hit my biceps. He is adiment about millitary press being the better option, so I get insecure about my program and want Your opinions on pros and cons about doing this.
I also wonder about the timing of the lifts. I feel my lower back is tired on barbell-row day, but currently I can perform my lifts. Perhaps I should do Barbell row first thing in the week instead of last?
Please help me out.

Now this what im currently going with on day four. But my friend says millitary press is better.
Bentley Young
I mean
This isnt looking obviously better.
Do somebody know more specific about these exercises?
Lucas Lee
Can anybody please help?
Wyatt Hernandez
Its not better then the other.
They are different exercises and hit different muscle groups. Both should be in your routine.

Stop doing your own shitty program. Read the sticky and choose SS/SL/GSLP. Now that you have your answer, delete this shit thread.

I do wheightlifting on top of mma. So i just do the most important lifts.
Jace Campbell
Do barbell row. It compliments benchpress better. You get what you need on your posterior from bench and the row will do the anterior.
I would only go millitary press if i did pull ups and dips instead of bench.

then your routine is wrong

I do mma so i get most of my strength and conditioning from there. I am adding wheightlifting on top of that.
I have a real hobby, friends and a life. Im not a basic gymrat loser lifting in hopes of "making it" or finally losing his virginity. Im trying to squeeze in a full body work out with the barbell.

how can u spend 40 mins with 1 exercise?

Nigga you jump rope for 40 solid minutes to warmup? You'd have to be going at like 30rpm. I used to box amateur and pro, rarely skipped for that long in one hit. That's solid endurance work.
Your shoulders and calves wouldn't be warm, they would be on fire, and useless for heavy lifting.
Also skipping for a warmup is a bad idea, high impact for knees/ankles when cold is a recipe for pain in the long run

No. To be exact i do a short stretch and movement warm up. Then i jump rope my fight time. So if i got a 3x3 round i will jump that. The tempo is varied as i do more freestyle than cardio. So i do lots of swiweling, criss crosd, dubs, cowgirl, jumpsquat etc. Then i do the same for shadowboxing if im alone, or pads and grappling if i have a partner.
I start at 20kg rod only and do 10 reps for the technical aspect. Then gradually add 10kg until i can barely do 10. Then i increase with 5kg until max lift of 1 rep and work my way down again. In between sets i do 10reps of a body weight exersice. So if it is bench i will do 10 push-ups right after the set is finished. Usually i will only be capable of doing 1-3 after maxing on my way down. I decrease with 5kg for each set as i go down. I also have a list that shows how much you should max lift if you stop doing 10 reps on a certain weight.
Anyways. I talked to our trainer and he said it was a question of taste. If your legs hurt after squats i could do millitary press.

dude, to be honest-drop squat or deadlift. you want to hit as many muscles as pssoible with 4 exercises? dont do 2 that hit nearly the same muscles. switch deadlift for military and do bench-squat-press-row, only way to hit your 4 main movers(lats, delts pecs leg) enough. also this provides a wider variety of secondary activation. your routine is still retarded tho, why not do it all on 1 day 2 times a week?
Colton Perez
Because that would be overtraining one side of the body. Millitary press i front shoulders, upper chest and tricep. From what i can tell you get all of those in bench. But if i go dorian row i get my entire upperback, lats and biceps. It seems like the superior choice.
I dont want to cut out squat as it trains the front of the legs. It is also a huge compound movement, meaning hi test production and good fat burn. Im not removing deadlift as i need a strong core for mma. The same can be said for strong legs.
Ive talked to people about this today. It seems like the only reason people tend to prefer millitary press is failure in their posture after doing squat.
My progran is a superior full body workout. Its just not for pussies.

Ah yep, makes a lot more sense now.
In my limited mma experience I'd say drop neither squat or deadlift, both have carry-over to your sport. If anything I'd swap out bench for OHP, in my opinion it's effect is superior in terms of aesthetics and carry-over to mma. Your chest will practically take care of itself with your other training
Jonathan White
You know... that is probably true...
But you know how much a man loves his benchpress... perhaps ill drop it some times...
