If I was going to go about working with a mixed martial art fighter just, I would go about it the same way as I would working with any other fighter. This is what I do so I'm going to share it with the rest of you.
Setting body composition goals based on training and competition
Name:
Sport of athlete in this example:
Current weight of athlete (in pounds and kilograms):
Goal: Sketch a one year training plan and indicate weight/body composition goals (ie. maintenance, gain, loss). Consider amount of time allotted to achieve these goals.
1. Divide the training plan into three major periods: Preparation, competition and transition. You may have one or more of each of these periods over the course of the year.
2. Sub-divide each period as necessary. For example, during the preparation period intensity and volume of training may change.
3. Indicate the number of weeks associated with each period. How many weeks do you have to change body composition?
