Building the body of a boxer or UFC fighter is tough enough. But if you want to really achieve the athletic capability of a pro fighter, you need to be willing to put in the time and effort to train your muscles and build up your stamina. When it comes to getting results, the best thing you can do is continue to push yourself and to stay consistent.

This is the last workout in our workout routine to get a fighter’s physique, but feel free to repeat multiple weeks of this program from the beginning. Just remember to continue updating your rest periods, sets, reps, and total weights to keep building your body and athletic ability.
