Would love to see a more in depth post/ protocol about perfect posture throughout the whole body including the rib cage which your briefly mentioned in the mcgregor post.
My question is specific to myself, but it might help others too. I trained calisthenics for years, then discovered muay thai and was hooked. I found you through searching for strength and conditioning for combat sports. Through training I quickly learned about the reason for weight classes, and I would like to add muscle mass while maintaining cardio and other athletic attributes. I was following the durability protocol for this. Is the may update equal or better for this pursuit? Should I tip the balance of the workouts and add another anabolic day, or is three still optimal for gaining strength and lean muscle mass?
As a sidenote, I had a hard time researching an ideal body weight for a person's build. I want to get to a weight where all of the athletic attributes are maximally balanced as described in your lethal gentleman criteria. I am currently 71 kg @est. 12-15% bodyfat, 174cm tall. Through my research, and comments in your post "The Martial Artist Archetype," I decided on 81 or 82 kg as my eventual goal weight. Do you have any thoughts on finding optimal body weight by height/frame?
These two resources interested me in my research to set my goal weight:
