I plan on taking MMA classes soon but still aim to gain weight and strength in the gym. If anyone here takes a martial art and goes to the gym as well, can you tell me typically when you go to either and how hard you work in the gym? The gym I will be joining has classes Monday and Wednesday for about an hour and a half each.
It all depends on what your out for. I've done martial arts most my life, but I dont "train in the gym" for my martial arts. I train for muscle not performance. It will also depend on what martial art you would be taking, the routines they put you on in class, etc...

i usually go to the mma gym twice a week (only because i can't afford the gas to go more) and workout in the weight room 4 days a week. I do weights after school and then the MMA gym from 6:00 - 9:30. I work my butt of in the weight room then i rest and do it again at the MMA gym and when wrestling season starts i'll have an even harder schedule.

ive been taking judo and brazilian gracie jiujitsu since i was 13 and i never really had to do specific weight training for these until recently (like a year ago). I go to Pittsburgh Fight Club in PA, I know we do a lot of muscular endurance exercises anymore ex: hill sprints holding 45lb plates, standing miliatary press with explosion, tire throws. mostly use these for endurance strength
start doing some dynamic stretching. i see a lot of weight lifters come into the boxing gym and have no flexibility and hurt themselves pulling a muscle.
i hit boxing specific workouts 3-5 times a week. i lift on a 3 day split from this site. the vast majority of my buddies at the boxing gym don't lift weights and practically look down on me for it.
Yeah but if you do bulking it slows you down as your activating the slow muscle twitchs strength training or some parts or sort of strength training activates fast muscle twitchs i'm still trying to figure out a routine for mma though
