try and make a scheduele for the week like, monday:chest

tuesday: legs  

wednesday:shoulder/back  

thursday:arms  

friday:CONDITION/abs/stretch  

something like that. you want to work out all muscles while trying to stay conditioned.

Answer 4

For hard damaging punches, work on your back muscles A LOT along with the legs by doing squats, leg presses and calf work.  Basically do a good all round full-body workout but keep attention on the Back, Legs and Abdominals! Use moderate weight to build up strength and light weights to tone up. Also, work on your neck!!! When I boxed in high school and then the Army we had to pay special attention to our necks! Do HEAVY shoulder shrugs, upright rows, neck bridges and manual neck resistence. Good Luck

Answer 5

I'm likely to agree with Kadev. You should train your whole body. As you stated, this is for MMA fighting. You never know what styles of fighting you're going to come up against.

You use different muscle groups for grappling than you use for striking, punching and kicking, etc. as an example.

The ground fighter will use different muscle groups than someone who is a stand up fighter.

The proper training mindset should be to train for every eventuality. Impossible to do, but it's still in your best interests to try.

Answer 6

Back (all of it, don't forget lower back) core, legs, and neck.  That's all you need.  Keep working on those muscles and you'll be fine.  OH AND CARDIO!!!

Answer 7

I think it's understood by your question that you're going to be training the whole body.  However, unlike football or body building where you start your workouts with the largest muscle groups and work down to the smaller muscle groups, you'll want to train like a wrestler and pre-exhaust your smaller and weaker muscles before moving on to larger ones.  Like football, you'll want to lift really heavy with less volume and less reps as you will build endurance with actual fight training, calisthenics, and running.  Also like football, it would be good to do explosive lifts that work the whole body like clean and presses.

Answer 8

keep working on all your muscles.me personally i think your wind(lungs)is the most important thing you need
