IG Live Muay Thai S&C Q&A 05 – Olympic Lifting Variants For Muay Thai, When Is Enough Aerobic Capacity, HIIT Or Threshold, Absolute or Relative Strength, & More

Another nice balance of questions between movement skill, resistance (strength, power, speed) training, and energy systems cardio (endurance) conditioning in this Q&A episode.

In this second episode of the Q&A I’m asked…

1. Hi, Don. What do u think of the Ido Portal method of focusing on proficiency in movement patterns?
2. Why did u choose hang power clean/snatch instead of clean/snatch as power exercises?
3. How do we know if we have enough aerobic capacity for going through interval aerobic power work in the next stage? Some aerobic capacity test you recommend?
4. Hiit training or threshold training? I ask this because Hiit actually involves more anaerobic system and fighters would become more anaerobic dependant if doing very often?
5. Favorite test for muscle endurance? How avoid losing it during max strength and power blocks? Muay thai is enough stimulus for maintaining it?
6. Strength work: absolute strengths relative strength. Which focus gives the most bang for my buck?

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…
