    Correct BP is a full body lift if you know how to do it properly. Of course, without the DL power, flexible hip flexors and the ability to transfer the power form the ground up through core it is useless.

    My guys do mainly BP, DL and Full Contact Twist with barbell as the main barbell "Easy Strength" program, with period of Zercher squats instead of DLs. Backsquat has its value, but especially competitive fighter do not want to gain weight (which will exactly happen with BSQ). That is why.

    Last but not least - I am talking about strength training. Conditioning is the other important part of the coin, bit it is not what I mean right now guys.
    This thread isn't the place for this discussion, but I don't agree with you on much of what you said.
    In the 30+ years I have done strength training, my experience has lead me to believe that what you have said is not typical and, if I may say so, misinformed.
    EX: Back squats do NOT lead to increase in weight gain, no exercise does directly lead to weight gain. It is the protocols and diets that some follow that may lead to weight gain.
    Just saying.

    That is why I have mentioned bodybuilding program - I guess I know the difference... As for weight gain all things being equal, back squat is the numero uno for gaining mass, fighters have problems with recovery, and - as much as I love squats (especially Zerchers), for fighters, big pull is always the drill to go - be it deadlift or eg. powerclean.

    The rest - see above AND below:

    Strength Training for the Martial Arts

    http://practicalhungkyun.com/2013/05...-martial-arts/

    Misinformed? Well, apart from martial arts, I am a kettlebell, barbell and bodyweight instructor under StrongFirst (education and strict requirements met, not purchase of a certificate). I actually taught with Pavel Tsatsouline last year in Sweeden (and with Swedish Olympic wrestling strength and conditioning coach, and with UFCs Gustaffsons strength coach), and will teach this year in Italy again

    I am also a chief-instructor of major Czech strength and conditioning organization called KB5

    http://www.kb5.cz

    My wife is strength and conditioning professional (not fitness, strength and conditioning, ok?), with 200 members in her gym (ladies only) - see here

    Just recently I have been asked to take under my wing strength and conditioning for MMA certifications/trainers licenses in our country... So yes, I sincerely hope that what I say is not typical, both in TCMA and fitness community :-) and I can definitely say that I know/can lift a bit :-)

    We can go back and froth with certifications and I can show you mine from various powerlifitng and strength fitness organizations ( not to mention the views of the likes of Rippetoe, Wendler and Poliquin), and all that will mean is that we, like so many others in the strength training business, simply disagree based on our experiences.
    No big deal really, different strokes for different folks.
