Exactly this. Once I reach 1/2/3/4 plates. How do you manage to maintain that strenght while you build proficency in jiu jitsu for example? Specifically would be the frequency volume and intensity in both disciplines. If anyone has experience in this I would apreciate any advice.
Thanks!
How to manage weightlifting with mma?
By continuing lifting.
1:2:3:4 is just intermediate levels
I usually separate days I lift and train. 3 days of training and 3 days of lifting.
But you are not telling me anything with that. Suppose you lift Mon Wed Fri, if you train MMA Tue and Thu you will be beat up by friday, and add to the mix that you are doing Texas Method and you will never progress unless you are eating like a fucking animal.
1-2x intense strength workouts a week will maintain strength, do either separate days or after an mma workout if you have to
1/2/3/4 is is a pretty strong dude, stronger than most team sport professional athletes, stronger than 99.9% of men will ever be, plenty strong for mma
Take supplements that help you recover.
Not everyone's body has the same capacity for recovering. Thats why some top athlete burn out after a few years while others are active 15-20 years, depending on the sport.
Athletic capability varies a lot between different people.
Yeah 1/2/3/4 seems pretty good for martial arts, specially if you are not heavy, you will have a lot more strength than your opponent.
There's a chick on YouTube that does this
