With the increasing volume of questions to fit into the 30 minute segment, apologies if I didn’t manage to squeeze in your question in this episode!

In this episode of the Q&A I’m asked…

  1. How often should you schedule training sessions that really push your body?
  2. Is it more important to focus fitness outside the fight camp, and MT skill during the fight build up, or vice versa?
  3. Dips or Pull Ups?
  4. What are your go to piriformis stretch/mobility/strengthening exercises for Muay Thai?

  1. I’m injured at the moment. Suggestions for non-impact exercises to keep up my cardio?
  2. Some suggestions for pectineus pain when kicking high for a long time?
  3. How to build better foot and ankle integrity to then produce greater force transfer?
  4. I thought the body can only adapt to one thing at a time? What am I getting wrong?
  5. What’s the best way to train power endurance for Muay Thai, i.e. exerting 90-95% power for longer?
  6. Preparations for amateur (3×2 min) fights, tournaments, dominant energy systems?
  7. How would you condition hands & wrists for Muay Thai in 4oz MMA style gloves?

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…
