Notes -
Any tips on how to ensure I do not feel beat up after working out. I do 4 workouts a week in the morning (upper and lower split) using HIT and do 6 days of MMA for 6 days a week. I began last week and have terrible sleep and bad food habits so feel sore all the time. I have seen a reduction in my levels of soreness so just wanted to get some decent advice. I am a farily skinny rail untrained person and have in fact made progress whilst working out infinitely slower by fucking up my sleep previously so please lemme know what things I can and should expect and possible remedies. Thanks!
If you're training mma 6 days a week, you should keep your strength training simple and stay far away from failure. HIT is going to make you sorer and cut into your recovery.
How much should I work out then. I am aiming for an upper lower split, working out on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Is this too much? I like HIT because it's better for my joints and takes little to no time. I workout at home using basic equipments and a forearm forklift for timed static contractions.
If you always feeling sore with this level of training then it's too much for you(for your age and level of fitness) by definition, which isn't saying much. So if you want to be safe - decrease the pressure for sure, the consistency is way more important than intensity. However if you're a healthy person then pushing things hard will benefit you mentally and as a consequence physically, it can be nothing or it can be absolutely life-changing experience IF you really push for it hard, as a challenge or if you're masochist, or for any other stupid reason.
It all is kind of triviality really, but it seems to me your original question is triviality as well, meaning that any person who wants an actual answer will find the clear answer in 5min of googling, if not from his own common sense. However I can totally simphatize with the urge of seeking support/validation in those kind of interactions. Whatever helps you, brother, we're all gonna make it!
I was just looking for ways of sticking to both my strength training and mma. I really wish to be consistent this time around. Most info on google is pretty clickbaity.
