Power lifting Challenge
Recently within the month of October I started to change my workout split to mainly involving Power Lifting. I fell in love with the strength and power it gave me. I decided to switch from the typical bodybuilding workouts and focus on gaining strength and power. This in turn will help with my grappling and Muay Thai fighting.
So what does this new workout entail? Lots of Olympic lifting and basic movements. I also have been working back into fight training more each week. This along with my insane school and work schedule makes it hard to get to the gym five days a week. And I am now doing full body workouts. So technically I need less days in the gym now and more rest. I’m pulling heavy ass weight and getting punched a lot. I need at least three rest days a week. What I implemented to make this split work is push and pull days.
My current split:
Sunday: Heavy pull day
Monday: rest
Tuesday: Accessory lighter push day/ BJJ/ Muay Thai
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: Accessory lighter pull day/ Boxing
Friday:Heavy Push day
Saturday: BJJ/ MMA
This might seem like a lot and honestly I am always sore and hurt so I may cut it back to three lifting days and then taking one more rest day. We shall see
Hopefully I will be ready for a powerliftng meet in December. Slightly at a deficit right now to cut fat and weight. But only a small one.
