The Five Day MMA Training Exercise Plan

MMA Training Exercise Plan

This exercise plan is meant for preseason training, which is when you need to develop strength, speed, and power. Stick to this plan for 4-6 weeks before changing any of the exercises, sets or reps. Adjust this workout program only if you find it too difficult or too easy. Support your hard work in the gym by eating healthy foods with lots of protein. There is no easier way to ruin your progress than by not taking nutrition seriously.
