I tried searching for post about intervals between doing lifts and practicing self defense here to not much info. So I'm going to ask, what's your interval between doing weights and practicing mma/jiujitsu/muay thai/etc? It has already been proven that resting in between lifts increase muscle mass and strength with hypertropy (24-48hours rest), so how often do I have to practice mma if I do lifts? I'm just starting mma since last week and it's a once a week thing since the coach recommends.
