Thread: weight training

Hi Michael!
I suggest you check out www.mikementzer.com. He has a great and logical method for gaining strength quickly and efficiently. You should only lift weights for about 20 minutes per session, 3 times per week, and each body part only gets worked once per week. That means about an hour total per week to develop a good base of strength. You can later add specific routines for clinch, striking, etc.
I break my workouts into 1 shoulders, biceps, triceps 2 legs 3 chest, back, traps, neck.

You have to lift heavy to get a good response, but you don't waste time doing set after set of the same exercise at a moderate level of exertion. Check out Mike's site, and if you e-mail him, please tell him that I said hello.

Thanks for the input Stuart! If we don't give our bodies sufficient time to recover after a workout, we will never see the results we want.
