Is this an ok workout plan ?

[mmacrazy]

I recently added lifting to my routine so hopefully I can start putting on some muscle and getting more defined. The past year has been all about losing weight. Here's my thoughts

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

am: non fasted weights
pm: mma training (boxing,grappling,or whatever they throw at us)

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday

am: fasted cardio

Sunday off day


Is this a good plan or should I lift on tuesday,thurs sat instead? My thjought was beat the hell out of my muscles in one day and then give them a full day to recover before doing it again.

You're not giving us nothing to work with. You basically posted a lifting schedule with nothing on it. Here's some things to consider...

What exercises? Compound or isolation or both?
How much volume?
Order of exercises, sets and reps?
What is your goal specifically?
What do you look like now?

All these factors will play a role in how you train.
Why not look into a proven exercise routine that is pre-built, such as starting strength or dc.

1. Yes ( I don't know I'm not a lifter. Just use the machines and some free weights)
2. Volume ?
3. Again nothing specific. Mostly push pull type.
4. Just want to tighten a bit. Lean muscle.
5. I look skinny with a slight spare tire mostly of loose skin.

Really what I was asking if it's better to beat the crap out of my muscles one day and then take a day off or grapple one day and the next morning do weights.

Training with out a plan will lead minimal to 0 results. sorry bro

Go on line and start with a full body workout 3x week.
I've done every split they all work if you do them right or mainly stick to them .
Im going back to full body in a week or two.
Also training for kickboxing and doing a circuit lifting routine now 4x week with alot of running and mobility drills.Also have a trainer so i stop overtraining all the time.

Start off light and work your way up.Pick a routine with alot of compound moves (chest press,squats,overhead-press,hang clean)you'll get some good gains if your just starting.
