    Striking: core, legs, shoulders
    Wrestling: legs, core, back, forearms
    Grappling: core, glutes, back, biceps, forearms
    Bonus: neck
    This is from my experience of doing kickboxing, wrestling, bjj and mma

      For striking I'd say even traps and triceps. Traps get tired very easily, so training them is super important. Triceps because they give you that little push to make your shots sound like gun shots

    Hey Mario, thanks for making this video. I train MMA and although I’m training 4-6 times a week and I’m improving my technique a lot, and I’m very fast, I’m not very strong/powerful and I really need to work on that. I do pushups and pull ups, but that isn’t really enough, so I hope to gain access to a gym soon so I can start lifting weights.

    Any suggestions for people who also train martial arts but want to build muscle?
    I normally train Muay Thai & Jiujitsu 2-3x per week each.
    A sample week would be:
    Monday: Muay Thai + Jiujitsu
    Tuesday: Muay Thai + Jiujitsu
    Wednesday: Workout (Full-Body Moderate)
    Thursday: Muay Thai or Jiujitsu
    Friday: Muay Thai or Jiujitsu
    Saturday: Workout (Full-Body Intense)
    Sunday: Rest
    The above schedule has been towards the top-end for long-term sustainability for me in terms of recovery and time-commitment. Open to suggestions on improving this split/program
