Answer: This is a typical bodybuilding program that is not very useful for aspiring fighters, MMA fans, sports grips or any other sport. Here are some problems with your current program:

1) You train very often. You do not get stronger when lifting weights, but because of the recovery process that needs to be performed. According to his schedule, he only rested one day and, as far as I know, practiced jiu-jitsu or kickboxing that day, since he did not specify the days he did it. did.

2) You make too many sets per muscle group. Only on the first day there are only 12 sets for the breast. It's too much You need to focus on the minimum amount needed to get the desired workout adjustment. More than that and it only reduces its energy reserves that could be used for recovery.

3) Many of the selected exercises are poor decisions (leg extension, forging press, front view, flying ropes, etc.) or superfluous. For example, all elbow flexion exercises (biceps exercises) have a grip on the back and again, they do not need 16 sets for the work.

4) For MMA or any other grip sport, the following strengths are required: relative strength, explosive power and resistance. (Functional hypertrophy can also be included unless your body fat is very low and you are already in your weight range). Most reps relate to strength / resistance. For the other two power qualities no work is done.

5) You are doing sets while creating antagonistic muscle groups. This allows you to do more work in a shorter amount of time and ensures that your body is balanced on both sides of the joints so that it is structurally healthy.
An example of sets of sets is to press a bar, rest and then use another set of bar beats. An example of extremely adjustable antagonist muscle groups would be the creation of a bench with dumbbells, the desired time according to their objectives and then a series of harnesses to sit on.

6) The cardio exercises you perform are too long and are close to your strength training. Stop using cardio before lifting weights and do not use conventional aerobic cardio. During the exercise, you must have a lot of effective conditioning. If this is not the case, you should establish rest intervals between shifts and make sure they are progressive. If you can not do this, ask your coach to do it for you.

As there is no off season for your sport and you train three or four times a week, you should worry about the duration so you do not train too much. Therefore, choose exercises that allow you to get the maximum benefit from your investment: I would train only two or three times a week. I can not promise you that you still can not practice because I do not have enough information about you (diet), but there is certainly less chance of what you do.
Here are some better exercise options. Select a single exercise from each group:

Pressing exercises:
Weight press, palms face to face
Parallel bars (bench press with closed handle bench, shoulder width)
Press with dumbbells or weight bar (foot bar pressing)

The traction exercises of the upper body:
Parallel pulls
Elongated shoulders
Rows of cufflinks (row of cufflinks on one arm)
Rope handles (rows with parallel handle seated)

Exercises for the legs, hips and knees:
Squats behind (squats before)
Dead lifts, clean grip, sumo or torn grip
Romanian deadlifts
Clean energy
Share squats
Divide, slow down or accelerate.

Assistance/Remeadial Exercise:
Family of elbow flexors (biceps)
(Family extension of the elbow (triceps)
(Family of external rotators.
(Family of veal (
Abdominal family
Here is a typical three-day routine that should not take more than an hour. (Below you will find the exercise, the repetitions, the tempo and the rest interval):

Day 1:
(A. Power cleans: 4 x 3-5 x 11x0 x 240 seconds of rest
B1 Pressure bar pressed: 4 x 3-5 x 20X0 x 120 seconds of pause
B2. Parallel traction: 4 x 3-5 x 3010 x 120 seconds pause
C1. Triceps extension in dumbbells lying down: 3 x 6-8 x 3010 x 90 seconds
C2. Zottman buckles sitting: 3 x 6-8 x 3010 x 90 seconds of rest

Day 2:
(A. Totlift cleaning handle: 3 x 6-8 x 2110 x 180 seconds of rest
B1 Dumbbell press: 3 x 6-8 x 31X0 x 90 seconds of rest
B2. Row of one arm cufflinks: rest 3x 6-8 x 3110 x 90 seconds
C1. Increase Powell's rise of the bank: 3 x 10-12 x 60 seconds of pause
C2. Garhammer up Raise: 3 x 10-12 x 3020 x 60 seconds of rest

Day 3:
(Telemark squat: 3 x 12-15 x 2010 x 75 seconds of rest
B1 Soaking in parallel: 3 x AMRAP (as many representatives as possible) with body weight x 2010 x 60 seconds of rest
B2. Pronounced grip lines: 3 x 12-15 x 2011 x 60 seconds of rest.
C1. Dumbbell session Dumbbell, knee arm: 3 x 10-12 x 3010 x 60 seconds (C2.) Sitting calf lift: 3 x 15-20 x 2210 x 60 seconds

Take a day off between your workouts.

You must change all load settings every four or six training sessions: sets, repetitions, tempo, sleep interval and exercise selection.
