I said, “Ask me anything.”

Well I asked for it!

While getting to grips with the Instagram Live format, in this first episode of the Q&A I’m asked…

1. Why don’t you buy a toupee?

2. Does masturbation or sex before a fight negatively affect performance?

3. When you have the block periodisation, the first Block is strength correct?

4. In the Strength block, how many exercises u use for strength primarily?

5. And how many exercises for power and speed in the strength block?

6. While working on improving hip mobility, is it good to stay away from heavier compound movements like the weighted squat while working on this?

7. What’s you opinion on Strongfirst and Kettlebells for S&C in relation to Muay Thai?

8. What is considered “too old” to have a professional Muay Thai/Kickboxing career?

9. Also, can proper S&C prolong your career extensively?

10. What’s your opinion on some IG/mental Trainings like that one from Lomachenko? Ty

11. What kind of S&C approach makes you standout from other fighters?

12. What are the biggest mistakes fighters make in S&C for Muay Thai?

13. Turkish Get Ups done for time rather than reps? 20 mins of alternating sides.

14. Hi Don, wondering if you would ever recommend sprint intervals of less than 2 mins? Eg 30-60s

15. What’s your take on using theraband training with punches and kicks?

All those links will take you to the relevant section of the YouTube video version of the Q&A if you want to jump straight to a point of interest.

If you’re on a mobile device and a vertical IGTV version is your preferred option…
