Hey everyone,

Hopefully you guys can help me out, i am a 19 year old aspiring MMA fighter who has been conditioning and training for 18 months. I train MMA skills and lift weights, run and stretch - so i believe i am preparing myself adequately for a fight based on the fact that i am always working to increase my muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility.

I am 5'' foot 9'' and weigh about 167, this last year when i focused more on weight training i reached 183 pounds but then quickly realized it would be a mistake to try and compete at this weight based on my height. so now i want to fight at 165 pounds but be stronger than i was at 183 - i will know when that is once i can bench press 225 pounds 20 times.

I would like to request any helpful input on MMA training and and conditioning i can do when i am not in the gym besides the obvious like push ups and shadow boxing - because i wont have access to any weights or tools for the next 2 weeks.

The supplements i currently take on a regular basis are ...

-whey protein_ 1 serving/33grams at least 3 times throughout the day
-L glutamine__ about 7 grams throughout the day mixed in w/ my protein
-AGX sports product_ RAW MCC which is a magnesium reacted creatine designed to yield "rapid strength and hardened muscles" _ 4 grams a day mixed in w/ protein
-AGX sports product_ "amplify 02" ( nitric oxide, creatine ethel ester and focus amplifier)_ 1 serving 30-45 minutes before workout
-Myo Shcok (by muscle tech) (so far is crap) 1 serving 30-45 minutes before workout
- animal pack _ one serving in the morning when i wake up and another post workout

here is where i need some info, the next two supplements are test boosters_ i need to know if i need to cycle them w/ anything or if they will mess up my hormones in any fashion

-tribulus 1,000 mg _ one in morning one later in day
and
-cryotest (by muscletech) one serving in morning and one before workout

i would really like to know what you guys think of this stack. what is crap? (muscletech hha) and what is good?

also any info on the two test boosters would be a huge help b/c i don't really understand how they work ...

what else could i be taking to see some lean muscle mass gains? that is reasonable and not illegal

also any fellow martial artists that wish to share some tips on how to train when going on a trip where all u have is your own body would to work with would be very helpful

thanks so much you guys, this is my first post, sry its so long and random..

thanks!:lick:

please dont multiple post. It will show up in the new posts with 1 or 5 posts. No need to spread it to 3 categories.. good luck with the fighting. I learned real fast that I didnt like getting punched in the face for almost NO money. I wish you the best though.

I would suggest contacting Rodja here at am, as he also is a pro MMA fighter.
In terms of the test boosters:
tribulus can be hit or miss for many. So I say give it a shot, it could be a hit with you. Cryotest, well if you already bought it then use it, however I personally wouldnt spend the money on something that has been mass marketed to death by MT. There are other better products out there, such as
Diesel Test Hardcore by Get Diesel, T-911 by LG and Anabolic Matrix by IronMagLabs

There are two general categories of test boosting. One is the direct approach of stimulating the body to actually produce more testosterone, which is where tribulus comes in. Products such as ZMA, avena sativa, and yohimbe may further help. Cryotest is trash, my best suggestion would be to return it for the money and instead buy ZMA, you will relish the difference.

The other approach is through suppression of estrogen. Products such as Novedex XT and 6-OXO work great, and are in many cases superior to testosterone stimulating supplements.

My best suggestion, stack a powerful test booster, ZMA, and Inhibit-E.

Another approach which works along the lines of the ZMA, in addition to either test supplementation, estrogen suppression, or both, is to maximize your deep sleep cycle. Products such as Cyclin-GF work well for this.

The deeper you sleep, the more of an anabolic environment your body has to work with. Testosterone and HGH are especially high at night, during sleep.
