Surviving a Brutal Training Schedule

Heatrick Heavy Hitters – Muay Thai Performance

One of my fighters found themselves up to their neck in a brutal training schedule...

Three killer training days stacked back-to-back!

This isn't what you'd draw up in a perfect world. With Muay Thai training, you must work with what you've got.Muay Thai gym schedules are what they are - you train when the classes run.

And let's talk about training partners - they can change everything about your session.

A partner's experience level, size, or whether they're preparing for a fight can turn what you planned as an easy technical session into a full-on war.

Your total workload combines both your life outside the Muay Thai gym and your training inside it.

It's not just about managing your training, it's about managing your entire stress load–work, family, commuting–it all counts!

In this episode, I break down how to handle these challenging schedules.
