Weights for MMA

TheTMO · 2010-09-13 14:13:18

I am just wondering what is the most effective workouts for MMA? I am currently undecided. Right now I am doing very light weights but loads of reps with a view to increasing my cardio but at the same time surely its important to do very heavy weights and low reps to increase and maintain explosive strength?

We don't have a glute ham machine at our gym YET, but I've read they are wonderful machines for working your back line.

This is something I always hear about, but do you not think between power cleans and deadlifting, then takedown sessions, you are working your back, hams, glutes enough?
I'm more inclined to start taking a core class at this stage as I think with all the back work I've been neglecting my abs, obliques, etc :pac:
