can lift, and as long as our conditioning
improves, our punches and kicks get harder,
and we can still make weight.
Well, the best way to improve these
things without increasing body weight is
by balancing your body. Since stabilisers
are relatively small muscles, hypertrophying
(making them larger) is going to add
minimal weight to your frame. But the
strength increases can be near to 40 per
cent improvement in areas. A lot of the time,
people’s conditioning does not improve simply
because strength is their limiting factor.
Where to place this in your training isusually in the preparatory phase of your
training — we put it in for two weeks after
a fight, and then for two weeks in the early
stages of fight prep.
We will cover improving strength in future
editions of FIGHT!, which would be the next
part of preparing for competition.1
