Powerlifting + MMA?

[marbii]

Hi,

Me and few of my friends started to learn some moves from muy thai, judo and other fighting styles. not to do it professionally, but just for fun.

I have a few questions, does these trainings will affect my powerlifting results? I train in gym for 3(1/3/5) days in week and MMA 2(2/4) days. We will add one more day for speed,reaction and endurance training.

And one more question, does anyone have some speed/reaction training programs? I know it isnt realy straightly related to bodybuilding, but maybe there is some boxers out there who have had some professional trainings. It would be very helpful if you could share this type of information.

Wouldn't know... I'm sure you'll find out though after a week or two. :P

Should just be like doing cardio on your off days. Just eat more

look in the sports training section for speed programs, those aren't discussed in here really. i've seen a lot of threads on that type of stuff in there.

It's gonna burn more calories make sure you eat more. Also the other thing is martial arts and fighting is about endurance and includes a lot of flexibility. Powerlifting is about power.
