Strength Training For Fighters

Post by Barkadion »

Just been re-reading some of Ross E. articles.. I think this is great summary. It was written 10 years ago..

- Train the body as a unit, not a collection of small pieces
- Focus most of your time around compound movements
- Develop a strong core
- Incorporate variety into your strength program
- Do not limit yourself to one modality
- Target multiple strength qualities
- Steer clear of failure when training for pure strength
- Never sacrifice skill and conditioning for strength work
- Focus on quality over quantity
- Keep strength workouts brief, 2 to 3 days per week
