Maxximus

LOL!! Yeah the stiffness sux, and it also makes you feel like your muscles are out of energy and can barely move when you are sparring or grappling later. The problem for me is that there's no way in hell I could do more than two or three serious weight workouts a week when i'm grappling three times a week and kickboxing four times a week. I get tired and stiff so that when i am grappling my muscle strength exhausts quickly and I just can't get my body to be mobile and fluid. I'll get so stiff that I'll know where I want my body to move or how I want it to shift, but it just won't do it. Then when I'm sparring in the boxing gym I feel so stiff that i feel clumsy when slipping or ducking punches and I can't really move forward and hit smoothly. I really need to find the best way to go about weight training. I don't want to give it up, but I also don't want to do it if it makes me do terribly in MA training.
