Possible?

[toratoratora1]

I have been training now for a couple of months and am looking to hopefully have a fight at back end of the year but the problem I'm finding is I play competitive football on a Saturday and Sunday meaning I never really have a rest day. During footy season my week is pretty much:

Monday - weights (currently doin westside for skinny bastards routine that defranco made)
Tuesday - weights followed by an hour and a half Thai
Wednesday - hour half bjj followed by hour half Thai
Thursday - weights followed by hour half Thai
Friday - weights followed by hour half bjj
Saturday - football match
Sunday - football match

all training sessions include 15-30 mins off full contact sparring.

Am I doing too much or is it possible to keep goin as I am? I eat pretty clean and get around 3000 calories in me a day.

Cheers

you need a rest day mate, or your gonna do yourself an injury

this situation happened to me when I started MMA, I had to give up swimming so I had a rest day

the question you have to ask yourself is do you wanna be a footballer or a fighter?

[RedBaron]

if you are insistant on playing football and fighting then i would suggest dropping a weights day.. monday maybe

the question you have to ask yourself is "do you wanna be a f**king fighter?"

How many fights you had?

[TheMonk!!]

Your doing way to many weights there I did that mistake and when my trainer told me to cut down and rest instead I noticed I gave my body time to recover and got bigger and stronger I'd say cutout Friday , do you wanna be a fighter or a body builder lol

[Romeoblood]

How many fights you had?

Still training for my first fight, but fighting is like anything else, it requires dedication

I'm not saying that fighting should take over your life, but we should make an effort not to do things that get in the way of each other

taking toratoratora1 for example, it seems that he is working too hard, football is getting in the way of his fighting (or fighting is getting in the way of his football, dpends how you see it?)

I reckon a rethink of the training plan is required

monk has good advice, cut down on the wieghts

As said you doont need that many weight days hell i wouldnt do what your doing weight wise 2 days on 1 day off (while still training) and then 2 days on again then football you wont get any gains like that anyway, you need two heavy lift days i would personally do this

2x per week.

Bench
Squat
Shoulder press
bent over rows
Deadlift

2 warm up sets at 25 / 50% weight - 3 work sets at 10 rep max.

2 Times a weak, maybe chuck in some EZ bar curls on one day, you will burn out, will get no gains and possibly hurt yourself.

Even so doing 2 football days, and that much cardio, is gonna kill pretty much all mass gains.

You really do not want to be doing deadlifts twice a week. You are simply not going to have time to recover if you are doing them properly (note the word properly here).

You also do not want to be doing deadlifts on the same day as squats as your performance on the first exercise will hamper your performance on the second (if you are doing them properly).

Good advice by Craig. Deads and squats on same day is a big no-no. If anything just split those exercises into 2 days ie...

Day 1. Mon - Deads, press, row.

Day 2. Thu - Squats, bench, cleans or we..

You will see far better results in both your strength gains and recovery.
