Hi everybody,
it's my first post here, so at the beginning a thank you to everyone who contributed here. Knowledge I gained here is invaluable.
I'm an amateur muay thai/k1 fighter who got interested in the concept of A+A. There's no one coherent body of text about this type of programming, so all the knowledge I have about it comes from scattered topics and blog entries.
My question is: what is the minimal number of repeats/ time I need to spend on one session so I benefit from it. Consequently, is there any volume limit and session over a certain number of repeats/time yields no results?
I'm asking because my muay thai sessions are taxing enough and I have a tendency to overdo things. Currently I'm using dice to determine my A+A-ish sessions' volume according to the protocol for ballistics from this article: ww.strongfirst.com/simplify-your-strength-programming-using-die-rolled-variability/
I am unruly enough to implement two changes:
- instead of 10reps OTM I'm doing 5reps every 1:15 (OASwings, 40kg)
- I use a die to determine the number of repeats with Beast.
As a result, the shortest session consists of 12 repeats and the longest one of 40 repeats. Are these numbers ok, or this programming needs some tuning?
Besides, I'm doing TGU with 30-42kg bells (S&S format), and aerobic work 1-2 times a week(LSD substituted with CPI every two weeks). And of course muay thai, three times a week (often glycolytic work there, if that's of any importance).
And not connected with the topic itself, but maybe somebody in a similar situation will find it motivating: As a poorly coordinated person and terribly clumsy fighter I rely on strength and conditioning. Sometimes it's enough to overwhelm my opponents, sometimes not. However, I believe that without strongfirst programs (S&S, ROP, this strange MP and PU plan with 8 minute breaks which name I don't remember) I wouldn't even have made it to the ring. As an old saying goes: "The real strength is not afraid of technique".
Thank you for your answers in advance and power to the people!
