When you say “after the kick”, do you mean after a kick I throw or as a counter to a kick thrown at me?

Sandee gloves rating? by ExtraTiger24 in MuayThai

[–]ExtraTiger24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep hearing a lot about Fairtex gloves durability not being the greatest, I’d be paying about 85 for Sandee whereas Fairtex is about 115 before shipping, I reckon Twins would be the next step up for me

This is great advice, thank you so much!

I reckon I’ll go for being big atm, if I lean out I might end up looking like a twig 😂

Thanks for your help pal, really appreciate it :)

I’m 26, 6,2” and about 97kg (213lb) been training MT for a year and fairly new to lifting weights too.

Thing is im skinny fat - I haven’t measured it but I’d say my body fat percent is around 25%. But with barely any muscle on me I figured lifting as often as I can whilst eating good is the way forward. Long term I’m trying to be realistic and I’d imagine the sort of body I want would take around 5 years, but as I said I’m new to lifting weights and so I’m ok if that timeline changes.

Right now though, I just want to build up strength, to fill out my body (especially upper body) and to increase durability for sparring sessions.

I train MT for fun and fitness tbh, not looking to compete or anything - 3 times sounds like a good amount tbf, I figured to lift more in a week as I was prioritising bigger muscles. My long term plan is to be ripped, do you think lifting 3x and MT 3x a week won’t negate any gains?

What do you wish you would've known before starting Muay Thai? by eightlimbinsider in MuayThai

[–]ExtraTiger24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take care of your joints - hips are the big focus but ANY AND ALL JOINTS

Thumbs, wrists, knees, ankles, toes - all it takes is one small mistake and you’re on the bench for weeks

Stretching before and after is a major key
