I guess you could do both half-arsed but to do one properly you would have to drop or sevely tone down the other
Bodybuilding
Pros: Girls love muscle (here anyway),being strong is great,eat as much as you like,big arms are every guys dream to have
Cons: Gear costs quite a bit,cardiovascularly unfit,restrictive lifestyle,training can sometimes be a pain in the ass
MMA
Pros: Great fun to do,makes you incredibly fit,learning something new every session,healhier lifestyle
Cons: Lose a lot of your muscle,get niggling injuries quite a bit

Ive given this alot of though, and being so short while weighing like 75kg, boxing would just be a Nightmare against 185+ cm dudes..
then again, I cant even jog, so that sucks lol.
-
Why not do MMA so,grappling takes away the reach advantage that tall fighters thrive on
-
Why can't you jog Swede?

Ive done submission wrestling, but doing my own retarded warmup when everyone else can just jog around in circles was getting fucking annoying, cant go outside for a jogging cardio session or anything, and if the legs gets in a strange angle while on the ground, the pain can go from nothing to feeling like the leg is about to explode in 0.5 sec
without any training I beat every single of the ju jutsu #### though :D , BJJ is good, but normal JJ is useless.
And no one could take me down, not even the 250+ pound dudes.
haha I feel like onlyme ;D

Is it in the front of your lower leg, right along the bone?

yep =), on both sides, I got a thing to put inside the shoe, to relieve the pain, but it didn't help.

Bodybuilding is the better lifestyle IMO as long as you don't go nuts and take it too seriously like entering contests and all that shit.
With MMA you're just asking to have your face rearranged and call me lame but that kinda doesn't appeal to me - especially when your face is as beautiful as mine.

Are you flat footed?

Hmmm,rolling around with another guy in a cage while wearing short shorts or getting oiled up and posing in a g-string for a bunch of men.......can I please have some more time to think about this ??? :-\

Swede = "Compartment Syndrom" look it up.

Not every bodybuilder who lifts, competes. In fact, most don't.

Shin splints...I got them in high school when I ran track..

Not really,here in Ireland the fights are mostly amateur,which is no strikes to the face on the ground
Its great fun training MMA,even if you never fight I reckon

shin splints maybe

Are you suggesting I should try doubling my medication?
-

Swede doesn't run and said when he does the pain starts in about 4 secs after running. True shin splints take along time to develop..
Again, maybe or maybe not compartment syndrome

No,I'm suggesting that you stop taking your medication all together!

True - seeing as I've never tried MMA training I can't really compare the two accurately - got a mate though who goes to a club and they learn all the grappling and jiu jitsu stuff and he loves it and always says I should come along and give it a go.

by girls do you mean gays, not that there's anything wrong with that. mma not to mention broken bones and diminished mental capacity esp for those who can ill afford to lose any.

I would rather my kid taking jabs in the form of needles than repeated jabs to face and body ::)

and it havent gotten any better now 4 years later..
I match the symptoms, I should book a time at the doc's place

I never lost any muscle when I started doing MMA. In fact, the change in type of exercises and the sparring and wrestling made me more defined.
- Girls don't like guys who look like they are roided out.
- You can be a bodybuilder and still have good cardio health.
- Bodybuilders can't eat as much as they like
- MMA isn't necessarily "healthy", but compared to pro bodybuilding it is very healthy.
Swede. When I first started running I got terrible shin splints. Just stop running until it heals, then run again. Continue this. After several months you don't get them anymore. This happens because of weak calve bones. The impact breaks down the bone and creates tiny fractures.
Also, invest in some decent running shoes.

trust me I have tried lol.

Well id have to lose about 2stone I reckon to be fit enough to fight a full 5minute round to the best of my ability

No. It takes several months. You run a few miles and then get calve pains and rest a week or two and then do it again. You do this for several months until the time needed to rest before running a few miles again gets to a few days and then a single day and then nothing. Ideally you should be able to run several miles a day, each day, at least.
But it takes a lot of time and patience. Just be persistent.
When I first started my calve bones hurt to the touch. Now they are built up from impact and are strong.
-
Swede, does the pain go away while excercising or get worse? Also, do your feet tingle?

at one point I tried doing so, and I couldnt walk normal for months because of the weeks..

Just keep up at it.
Also remember to stretch at least 5 minutes before a run. Especially the calves.

I dont feel it during squat actually, but legpress with my feet low on the "board" hurts like a BITCH after a rep or two

If it never feels like it loosens up, Coach is probably right. You should look into the CCS.

No way you can do both successfully. First off, when doing stand up, you will need your shoulder girdle to be as flexible as possible. Something lots of "bodybuilding" inhibits. When doing sub grappling, bjj, wrestling, you won't be able to lift heavy if sparring consistently.
I've lost 20 lbs in the last two years, most of it muscle. When I went from a 2-3 times a week trainer to someone who competes every three to four months, your body will shed any unnecessary muscle mass. Grappling is anaerobic, so trying to prepare for it by doing LSD cardio is ineffectual. Mat time is what will condition you. Same thing as stand up. You will have to change your strength and conditioning program to match your desired goals. Doens't mean you can't be muscular, just means that if you are a successful competitive bodybuilder, you can't be a successful competitive combat athlete.

with arch supports, that may also be it. Also he can try strengthening his shin muscles, buy like sticking his foot underneath the stove and raising his foot, or putting a weight (that he can stand) and lifting the foot. Or try a bucket of sand...these were methods my track and lifting coaches told me in high school. And they worked.
I had shin splints sooo bad that after practice I would be clutching my shins in agony.

You don't have to compete to be a bodybuilder. (or a mixed martial artist)
