What are strength standards for MMA fighters?

Answer 1

From my experience in weight training for Martial Arts, I recommend the following strength standards:

Bench Press 1.5-2*bwtSquat: 1.75-2.5 * bwtDead Lift: 2.0-2.5 * bwt.

Power Clean: .75-1.5* bwtFront Squat: .75-1.5* bwtPower Snatch: .5-1.25*bwt

Standing Press: .75-1.3 *bwtIncline press: 50 lbs less than your flat bench press

Barbell Curl: .5-1.0 *bwt

Please keep in mind that these strength standards are for a fighter who has been lifting for around a year or two. If you are new to lifting weights start out light and allow your body to become accustomed to the new demands being placed on it. Always remember to also stretch and do some aerobic acitvity to keep the body limber.

Strength to you,
