I workout twice a week because I train MMA, in MMA we do a lot of body weight exercises and sparring. sometimes i'll lift 3 times a week but that's max because I need to rest to heal and lifting weights 4-5 times a week, plus training mma 4-5 times a week and working a lot doesn't give me rest and everyone here always says rest. For diet I am currently dabaling with intermittent fasting. I would really appreciate help in designing this cycle from you guys, I did a beast cycle before the same way, only lifiting twice a week, and all of my lifts went up massively but I got too big as well, (is there too big?, yes when you do mma)
My weight lifting would look like this
WORKOUT A:
Bench Press
Incline Dumbells
Dips
Peck Deck/Flies
Squats
Step Ups(10-12" box)
Seated Calve Raises
Lunges if I can
WORKOUT B:
Deads
Bent Over Row
Wide Grip Chins
Standing Shoulder Press
Side lateral raises
(Clean & Press if I'm not fuckt)
Then on other days when I can make it in, i'll do some abs, sometimes more squats and chins, and sometimes some bi's and tri's for the esthetic effects
Other days I train MMA for two hours, with 2 days rest usually one day some light sparring
so it would look like this
Monday - Workout A - light boxing
Tuesday - MMA training 2 hours
Wednesday MMA training 2 hours
Thursday - Workout B - MMA training 1 hour
Friday - MMA training 2 hours
Sat & Sun (rest, but sometimes do some light bjj or no gi)
It appears that 95% of your training will be cardio and unless you are eating 6000 plus calories a day , you will be in a caloric deficit and Im like Wilcox, save it until you can dedicate yourself to training in the gym with weights. IMO you will not gain anything by running any cycle will 95% cardio. You will get more cut and loose body fat. Best of luck to you , any way you choose to go, my friend...
