Hello people.
I'm new here and if this is a dumb question, I'm sorry but I started going to the gym 2 months ago and in the other day, I went to a kickboxing class?and I loved it, but the thing is, the classes are 3 days a week and I was wondering if it's good to do weightlifting and kickboxing? I heard the best would be a strength program 3days a week and other 3 days for kickboxing, anyone here does both? How? Can you help me?
Thank you very much.

Nothing wrong at all with doing both.

You will probably just be tired if you start doing both on the same day which will lead to crappy workouts or poor training if you lift first. Depending on your recovery rate, you might be fine with a gap in between and enough food and you should be completely fine doing it on different days, but everyone is different. I workout on my taekwondo days sometimes and it's pretty much made me a slug a few classes, but when I was eating at/beyond TDEE, I had no real problem doing it.

Thanks for your reply but until now I was doing 1 body part per day now what do I do? I haven't seen many results so I might change it. I want an 'ideal'(no such thing, I know but you know what I mean) workout to improve my ability in the sport and some some fat of course.

If you have time then yeah sure its ok. Just make sure you get enough rest Smiley

hows kickbxoing though. Tell me all about it if you dont mind. Im interested in what a kickboxing class is like, im currently doing tangsoodo, and i really love it but i feel kickboxing would be better for me.

So if you dont mind, how long is your class, and can you run me through what you did in the classes? Like for example warmpups, then x, then y, then z etc... And how long for.

I know its asking for a lot of detail but im really interested. You dont have to if you dont want to though Smiley

I workout on my TKD days and I'm fine unless I don't eat enough. There's a workout guide or such in the excellent postings section. Try that or one of the suggested programs in the muscle gain section.

My main question is towards the workout itself. What kind of routine should I do?

Some kind of workout that involves power cleans, perhaps? I'm deciding between starting strength or stronglifts next to my kickboxing classes.

I have been practicing muay-thai for 3 years now, as long as you have a 4 hours rest between your conditioning and  muay-thai you'll be fine.

I am assuming your young.

muay thai works a whole new muscle set for me, so I could theoretically maintain my old lifting regiment and take MT.  That being said, for you it will depend mostly on recovery and whether you're overtraining.  for example, there is no point for me to work on my shoulders bc I do so much jabbing in MT that they are putty for a day or 2.  Also I jump rope so long that any calve-specific workouts would be futile.  All these kicks have my legs feeling like play-doh, so I couldn't see targeting them with weights, there would be no real use IMO.

It could possibly be too much but as long as you keep your reps and number of sets low, plus have a lot of rest in between sets (3-5 mins) then it should be cool. That way you're not bodybuilding per se, but training more for strength, which will help with kickboxing.
