muay thai + 5x5 style training

[the_alcatraz]

I still think Muay-Tai burns too many calories if you're doing it right. So unless you're consuming 3000-5000 calories a day depending on your built, then doing it will burn too many calories. You should definately NOT do Muay-Tai and hit the weight on the same day. The day you do Muay-Tai, forget about pumping iron

well I certaintely wont be training on the same day as I weightlift. I am going to be doing Muay Thai on Tuesday and Thursday, which fits in perfect with my 3x5 (mon, wed, fri, take off the weekend) schedule!

That's good. Just make sure you use proper form when throwing a punch, sparring or on the bag, since if you throw a wrong bunch, then you can't workout properly for a whole week.

Remember to draw first blood. And when you are called to a fight, act pumped up and don't be scared. They have to think you're either a "freak" who eats blood or a bad dude who breaks peoples' fingers for a living...LOL...no bs.

Good luck

wow!

thats all I can say. first class was intense as hell and was almost going to puke a few times from all the cardio...maybe I should of did SOME while I was bulking.

It's so fun though, kicking the shit out of the pads and learning all the basic techniques...I'm in love already!

muay thai rules!

glad to hear that things went well and that you enjoyed it. Muay Thai is a lot of fun. remember that when you kick, you want to hit with your shin. your shin is like a baseball bat. dont get in the habit of using your foot, as you will mess your ankle up badly, and possible break it (if you kick hard enough).
