What would be better need? Advice please
Right now im going to the gym every other day and am starting at a mma gym real soon. I have a question about my weightlifting right now when i go to the gym i go for an hour and do mostly machines working the whole body i also do pullups and dips and mostly isolation excercices. At my gym their is literaly no room to do things like cleans squats snatches and excercices im just finding out about and their effectiveness my question is would i be beter off buying some weights for my house and do the excercices i listed before as well as using body weight excercices and a swiss ball and a resistane cable or stay at the gym doing machines and isolation movements?
Note this is for mma not bodybuilding or anything else also my diet is clean with lots of dairy and fruit and whole wheat with a protion shake befoe and after a tought workout and im 15 years old been going to the gym for a year

im not 100% sure of the specifics, but in general iscolation movements are more for body building, and dynamic movements are more for MMA... so wherever u can do the most freerange of explosive power movememnts is probably your best bet

Bj is correct, isolation movements are for more of BB then what MMA focus's on.
You mentioned dairy in your diet, are you trying to lose weight, dairy is pretty counter productive to this simply because of the lactose and the carbs and should generally be avoided while trying to lose weight, if you HAVE to have it, then skim.
Not doing power cleans, stiff leg's, snatchs and such, wont hurt ya in a MMA aspect.
Lifting for more explosiveness and muscle stamina should be your focus more then just brute strength.
You said your starting a MMA gym soon, i think it would be best to let your trainer outline a lifting program and let you know what he think will benefit you the most, and just keep doing what your doing until then.

It's true about the dairy. Many of the top dudes in MMA (Couture, Franklin, GSP, etc) include little to no dairy in their diet at all. Couture says that it raises the acid level in your muscles, contributing to soreness and slower recuperation, and he also believes that it makes you sluggish.
At 43, clearly the brother is doing something right.

Focus on the small twitch muscles if you want to do well in MMA.

Thanks. I always call em slow twitch cause the guys I know and fighter's I've seen who are in what I call good MMA shape, you see those small fibrous muscles "twitch" muscles, so I always call em small or slow twitch muscles.
