Hey guys. Great forums you have here. I stumbled across this site today and I'm very happy I did. I think I'll be coming here regularly to take advantage of the wealth of helpful information.

Ok, now to my question about weight training in conjunction with boxing training...

I was training in mixed martial arts (including boxing) 2-3 times a week but decided to suspend my training for the short term to work on gaining muscle mass. I'm currently weight training 3 times a week and am making great gains but I am eager to get back to boxing and I'm wondering whether adding 1-2 sessions a week of martial arts will have a negative impact on my body building? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can still achieve muscle gain and get back to fight training?

I'm thinking that my options are to either just focus on weight training exclusively for around 6 months to a year to gain the muscle mass I desire, OR, slow the development of my muscle gain by weight training only twice a week and doing boxing training once each week. What are peoples thoughts on this? Has anyone had success with other training regimes?

Thanks in advance.
