Man this is not working out! I do jiu jitsu and muay thai 5 or 6 days a week (on a good week). With the muay thai I have lost allot of muscle and am at a feminine 175, I want to get back to my hulking 200. I know, I know martial arts is not about size but skill, but I like to look like a comic book super hero and so do the ladies.
Anyway, When I do hit the weights, lets say Im doing squats 15-20 reps 3 times moderate weight and more leg exercises the next day in muay thai I cant even kick because Im so sore, can barley make it up stairs! same with upper body if I do benching and tricepts then later at jiu jitsu Im too sore to push and pull.
How do I quicken recovery, how can I keep doing my bench,squats,deadlifts, with out being sore? How do some pros (belfort,marquart,okami,phalahares,thaigo,sherk) maintain such muscle mass and train MMA full time?!
 
truth is about 50% of MMA pros use steroids or some form of it

not sayin you should use it but just keep doing what your doing

also just try to eat more than normal i guess
 
i dont see why you cant do weight 3-4 times a week along with the mma, but thats part of training some days you are sore as anything from the other day, but if you cant even walk up the stairs the following day then dont continue to train the leg muscles because obviously they are way over trained.
ive seen alot of videos where the mma guys train and they recover bby going into ice baths, but i think overall you are doing way too much which isnt a good thing and your going to injure yourself.
