Just curious if anybody who is studying it right now has any training tips for me to use while I lift to help me out .. I have a martial arts background but I haven't done it since I was a kid so its gonna be pretty new for me so any advice is welcomed.

yeah, depending on the frequency of muay thai you might want to reduce the amount of lifting you do.Originally Posted by badreligion

I'm studying Muay Thai right now and it's hell of a lot of fun. Just work on endurance and your shins will take a while to get used to the pain but trust me you'll get it. Also work on technique a lot. It's more important then showing off with power because technique is how you defend yourself and knock the other guy out not power flailing around.

I was told to start off with two classes then work my way up to as many as I want so I was thinking of breaking down my split as follows
Sunday - Chest/Delts/Tris
Monday - Active cardio like Rollerblading
Tuesday- Muay Thai
Wed - Back/Forearms/Bis
Thurs - Cardio
Friday - Muay thai
Saturday - Rest
Monday , Tuesday , Thursday and Friday are essentially rest days too because I would only be doing one activity that day but saturday is the all rest day so does that sound like a decent plan . I am trying to lose weight and tone up because well .... I'm alittle overweight lolIn Hoots We Trust.

The last thing in Muay Thai is strength training. I did it for 4 years and i became flexable as ****. Im quicker and the discipline that is incorporated in it is surreal. Good luck man, prepare to become friends with bruising.
