Muay Thai – Plyometrics and Resistance Training (Confused!)
Description
Plyometrics and weight training. Let's clear up this confusion!
In Muay Thai, fighters often treat "strength AND conditioning" as one thing. But these are two distinct components: "strength" OR "conditioning."
Let’s break this down...
STRENGTH Training includes:
• Weight room-based resistance work
• Plyometric and med ball drills
• Explosive power training
• Traditional strength exercises
CONDITIONING is different:
• Cardio work
• Energy system development
• Stamina building
• Recovery capacity
They're separate beasts with different purposes.
