Default weightlifting

I used to lift weights excessively, only compound and explosive lifts, and whereas i noticed an improvement in my ground game, it killed my stand up game. I now only box and have given up weights altogether, and focused only on running, pushups, dips, and pull ups. My stamina altogether has massively improved, and i can box for a good 5 rounds before I gas. when I do grapple I still do well because with all of the additional bodyweight exercises I focus on techniques that require skill as opposed to brute strength. just a thought for those who dont have time to hit a gym, you can still be a great fighter without the extra money spent on a gym and protein
