>will be able to make decent gains on a 2 day split
no

you can make progress.

>>35105759

you could make some decent gains... implying you spend 3-4 hours at the gym each time

>>35105759

You aren't going to make much int he way of gains.

What's your goal here anyway? Is there something you need out of it for MMA? Do you just want to be swoll? You probably won't make it.

You might be better off taking say, Tuesday and Thursday off from MMA, lifting T-Th-Sa, then having Sunday as a rest day.

would that be overtraining though? if i work manual labor all day and do mma five days a week and spend hours lifting weights on the weekends?

>>35105862
my goal is mainly to gain strength and improve my lifts. gaining a few pounds of muscle would be good too but thats a secondary goal.

>>35105866

Implying you're very disciplined, eat very well and get plenty of sleep, I don't see a problem.
Why so much mma though? why not mma 2 times a week or something ?

>>35105900
getting good at mma is my main priority. i just think i would greatly benefit from getting stronger as well.

>>35105925
alright well then yes, you should train at the gym.
One day should be only for compound lifts (benchpress, squat, deadlift, OHP, barbell rows)
and the other day should be isolated movements/machines

2 hours at the gym should be enough

>>35105925
bro if you want to be good, train 6 days a week
like 8-9 times a week in those 6 days
eg:
monday: MMA morning lifting afternoon
tuesday: MMA morning
Wed: MMA morning light liftin afternoon
Thur: MMA morning
fry: MMA morning MMA afternoon
sat: Lifting morning afternoon off
sun: off

this is kinda what elite wrestlers do (just don't max effort every week, 3 weeks full, 1 week deload)

He works full time too. When does he sleep and eat on that schedule?
