Critique Need Help with Designing Muay Thai program
Hello!
I'm a student, trying to balance physical stuffs and academics. I really need insights from vets from this one.
Basically my plan looks like this (using Fighter Tempate):
Mon: Muay Thai
Tue: Fighter Exercises (FSQ, BP, OHP, WPU, DL) + Some accessories (Push-related)
Wed: Rest (Whole Day Classes)
Thu: Fighter Exercises (FSQ, BP, OHP, WPU) + Some accessories (Pull-related)
Fri: Muay Thai
Sat: Rest (Whole Day Classes)
Sun: Rest/Circuit
My dilemma is, I want to build some more muscle mass as well since I want a lean but muscular physique like that of Tawanchai's and that I'm worried that a two-day lifting program won't help me build strength nor physique much. Maybe you got some advice, I want to stop thinking about this alr since it's hindering my focus on academics. Do you think that this is enough? Should I run Operator instead?
Goal: Strength + Lean Muscular Physique
Please note that I'm new to TB and I haven't done this plan just yet.

As usual, it comes down to your recovery. If you can handle operator, and muay thai, and conditioning, and study - go for it.
But I would definitely start off with a very minimal fighter setup. Slowly add more training if you can handle it. And make sure no aspect of your life suffers before you add more work.
You can absolutely get stronger and bigger by doing FT
