SuicideFuel Lost my cardio to the flu

[FuckHOA]

I recovered from the flu and my cardio is shit, I struggled against a no stripe white belt in jiu jitsu and my cardio just wasn't there, sure I still beat him but I could barely breathe because my lungs are still fucked up. I will get back into muay thai this week and start fully training again.

Just jog 2x/week for a month and you'll be fine. Cardio changes quite rapidly.

Fr, its not a fucking fitness class, do strength and conditioning on your own time.

If your MMA gym does conditioning doing ladder drill or asaault bike or whatever you are wasting your time, why gas yourself out doing something that will barely benefit you when you could just drill fast and hard which will both condition and build technique as opposed to sprinting like are you training to run away from fights?

Doing pushups and stuff is fine for warmup but come on you are wasting your time doing strength and conditioning.

An example would be I used to play football which had a shit ton of conditioning and cardio and almost none of it translated to muay thai cardio so running will barely do anything for your cardio when you could just save time and drill hard.

I started running during the summer for a while before my shit wagie job I did,around 4am before heading to work. I kept running for like a month and a bit,increased my stamina decently. Then,I got some bullshit stomach disease where I had both diarrhea and vomited like 20+ times,had to go to the hospital and get on IV's because I was terribly dehydrated and lacking nutrients. Then,I lost like 70% of my cardio atleast,and a chunk of my weight. Brutal.

exactly bro, idk why they did that but it sucked, my strength is more then enough already, my cardio did suck but that just made it so i couldnt focus on the technique

If I owned a MMA gym I would expect my fighters to just do strength and conditioning on their own.

Okay.

Warmups aside, you need dedicated strength and conditioning classes anyways. On top of that, you need to be doing roadwork outside of the gym. That's the reality.

My MMA used to be BJJ for 5 days a week, K1 for 3 days a week, and MMA Fit Conditioning once a week. For Boxing, I'm doing roadwork everyday outside of the gym apart from Sunday where I walk.

In amateurs, having the best gas tank is what can honestly earn you the win because at such little experience, (sub-year or similar) - conditioning will play a bigger part than technique.

If you don't have the cardio, you can't have the endurance to be on the balls of your feet so you'll be flat footed. Your legs will give in without your lower body strength and conditioning so you can throw your punches with form. Your shoulders will strain without conditioning and endurance and you'll lose your technique. You can't be able to hit hard with technique for short bursts without sprints or pylometrics to mimic intensity of fight rounds.

You need the cardio to efficiently learn techniques. That's why gyms emphasis on it. But yeah, it sucks and sparring is way more fun.

Try doing weights to gradually increase your strength then do cardio after a while.

But why is it needed to specifically do it in the lessons? Our lessons where only 1 hour, and 15 was probably doing cardio and strengtj
