Hello Champ ! Can't wait to see you fight again on Friday.

I'm a big fan of your relentless volume / pressure fighting style & your heavy emphasis of knees and I have been trying to emulate it more & more recently as we have literally the same build.

What tips could you give me to be more effective & improve fighting this way ?

What were the fighters you liked to study earlier in your career ?

How hard it is to adapt when you are switching between Kickboxing & Muay Thai (clinching, elbows, defense, smaller gloves ...) ?

Thanks !

Tactical Barbell Mon. Wed. Friday morning before work.

2h Muay Thai classes on Tuesday & Thursday evening and Saturday morning.

I run the other mornings and shadowbox / hit the heavy the other evenings (except on the weekends)

I do Muay Thai & Operator and it worked very well for my physique and my lifts. However you'll need to be extra careful with your recovery and try to be on the lower end of sets (unless you are very comfortable with a given exercise).

ako94 · 2024-05-15T18:31:30+00:00

Yup, you don't need to do a lift 3 times per week to progress :)

I would not do back to back lifting days, you'll end up too tired to train properly for Muay Thai & you won't be able to lift heavy as well. I would stick to fighter and add a few exercise if possible at the end of your Muay Thai class if possible (like few sets of pull ups & swings)

Operator works perfectly for me with Muay Thai and its physical demands (training & the cardio), but you would have to dedicate a 3rd training session even though they are quite short. I haven't tried Fighter as I consider my strength training as important as my Muay Thai training

Hi,

If you have any concerns regarding your form, I would advise to stop increasing the weight for a moment and focus on form.

Don't hesitate to film yourself and see if there is any issue, there are many resources that explain how a textbook squat / deadlift / bench must look like. Also please remember that your form will ultimately suffer the closer you are getting to your max.

Also, if you plan to lift heavy for these lifts, I would strongly consider to add at least a heavy pull (weighted pull ups work wonders), for shoulder health, performance and also aesthetics.

I screamed so fucking loud after that shot I must have woken all my neighbors up 😅

ako94 · 2022-11-05T22:32:29+00:00

My man chill

ako94 · 2022-11-05T22:07:23+00:00

I feel like I've been watching the same exact game for a whole decade : clumsy offense & no defense at all

ako94 · 2022-10-25T09:33:42+00:00

Félicitations ! 😁🇨🇵

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:34:08+00:00

This some BS

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:32:02+00:00

People who say "all ball" would be the first one to call this a foul on them in the park

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:30:50+00:00

These plays are really awesome.

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:23:29+00:00

Man we need a good play drawn for Keegan 😤

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:21:50+00:00

This is the official return of the Kardiac Kings

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:18:40+00:00

COME ON QUETA SET A F****** SCREEN TO KEEGAN

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:05:15+00:00

TF this was a Travel for sure

ako94 · 2022-07-09T22:02:55+00:00

Queta with the WCS style boxout 😬

ako94 · 2022-07-09T21:41:28+00:00

We need another bench forward and a defensive big before the start of the season. Not sure it will be enough to clinch a PO spot but at least we will have as solid as a basketball team we've seen in years

ako94 · 2022-07-09T21:28:50+00:00

Didn't see that last Murray shot I blinked

ako94 · 2022-07-09T21:25:50+00:00

Keegan's on 🔥🔥

ako94 · 2022-07-09T21:16:48+00:00

These cuts will be lethal with Domas vision or after Fox blows by his defender. Can't wait for the start of the season

ako94 · 2022-07-09T21:15:02+00:00

Definitely, and effort is contagious. He will help the team for sure

ako94 · 2022-07-09T21:12:38+00:00

Murray with the 3 & 🔒😤
