Getting a fighter’s body isn’t as hard as the media puts it to be. You don’t have to be overweight. You don’t have to be obese, that’s not what you’re meant to be. Instead, what you’re meant to be is a fit, healthy person.
While I don’t know you personally, I do know something about you: you want to get a fighter’s body so you can be proud of yourself for reaching a goal that most people will never even dream of achieving. That I can guarantee.
Well, in that case, let’s start by giving you a step-by-step system to reach this phenomenal goal. Now, if you want to reach that goal faster while enjoying the journey, I have just the perfect next step for you.

Let’s dive into the article.
Getting a Fighter’s Body (Step-by-Step System)
Fantastic. You’re now one step closer to reaching your goal. This should already motivate you, as many people have already left this article. Although it’s only the beginning and we haven’t even begun to discuss the real, practical steps, many people have already left this article and went reading something else.
So, let’s get you started on your journey.
Step #1 – Figure and Write Down Your Goals
The first step you must take to get a fighter’s physique, whether you’re into Boxing, MMA, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, Judo, or any other martial art, or you want to get the body alone, you must write down your goals.
Writing down your goals is critical for planning your path to get to your destination. Imagine sitting in the driver’s seat of a car and driving for no reason. That sounds silly. But, this is how most people approach life, and you want to avoid being like most people.
Here are examples of goals you might find suitable to your journey:
- Lose 40lbs of body fat
- Gain 10lbs of muscle mass
- Work out every day
- Win a fighting competition
The end goal of all these goals is to get you a fighter’s body. A helpful tip in this case is to make sure you set a deadline. There’s no denying the power of deadlines. You will pull off an all-nighter if you need to submit a paper that you haven’t finished yet. The same applies to fitness and reaching any other one of your goals. Without a clear deadline, discipline won’t show up.

Step #2 – Derive a Workout Plan From Your Goals
Let’s now advance to the enjoyable stuff. This is, perhaps, the most important part of this article, so make sure to pay close attention.
What is your goal? Is it to lose body fat? Gain muscle? Get into shape? Look better?
Now that you know your goal, it’s time we derive a workout plan that will get you to your goal. By now, you understand that being in the driver’s seat without a destination is a silly thing to do. Back to our topic, your workout plan is your vehicle. It’s how you’ll get to where you want to get to.
While I can personalize a workout plan for you with my free-of-charge consulting call, let’s review some workout plans that might apply to your goals.
Workout Plan #1 – Lose Fat
The first workout plan I built for you will help you lose body fat. This plan is mostly about burning calories, as the only factor that’s relevant for this goal is whether you’re in a caloric deficit. If you’re in a caloric deficit, hence burning more calories than consuming, then you’ll lose body fat.
But, if you’re bringing in the same number or more calories than what you’re burning, you will not lose body fat, and that I guarantee.
This workout plan requires you to run 3 times per week, on non-consecutive days. You will be able to burn more calories by running and doing aerobic exercise, which, in turn, will help you be at a caloric deficit.
Also, you want to lift weights 3 times per week, totaling 6 workouts per week. This might sound like a lot, but it’s actually not. Many of my current clients are dealing just fine with this velocity of workouts because we’re working together. So I’m sure you can handle it too.
Here’s an example of what it might look like:
- Monday – Weightlifting (Full-Body)
- Tuesday – Run
- Wednesday – Weightlifting (Full-Body)
- Thursday – Run
- Friday – Weightlifting
- Saturday – Run
- Sunday – Rest Day
Repeat that and you’ll be extremely more likely to lose body fat.
Workout Plan #2 – Build Muscle
For the second workout plan I built for you, I assumed you want to build muscle. This is critical to get a fighter’s body because, as you’ll notice, most fighters are stronger than the average person and have quite a lot of muscle.
Although they look skinny, they still pack a lot of muscle mass. The skinny look comes from them having an exceptionally low body fat percentage.
Contrary to the previous workout plan, this one will require you to be at a caloric surplus, which is when you consume more calories than what you’re burning. If you can combine a caloric surplus of about 300-500 calories per day with weightlifting, you’ll build muscle.
Here’s what I built for you:
- Monday – Chest + Triceps + Shoulders
- Tuesday – Back + Biceps + Legs
- Wednesday – Run + Stretching
- Thursday – Chest + Triceps + Shoulders
- Friday – Back + Biceps + Legs
- Saturday – Abs + Stretching + Fighting
- Sunday – Rest

Step #3 – Follow Up (Don’t Wait for the Universe)
Now that you have your goals and workout plan, it’s time you amp up the game a notch. This is where most people fail, so I want to make sure I have your full attention. If you’re not completely attentive to this article, make sure to divert your attention since it might save you complete months of trial and error.
The human mind is interesting. There’s this person that lives inside of our minds that I like to call the governor (credit to David Goggins.) The governor will do everything in his abilities to make you stay inside of your comfort zone. If you have any large goal, it’ll try to divert your attention from your goal so you don’t suffer. That’s the classiest fear you’ll have, the fear of failing.
So what can you do about it?
Follow up. I know it’s boring. I know it’s bland, but it’s the only way to get to where you want to get to. Here’s the difference between average and extraordinary people. Average people are constantly looking for motivation while extraordinary people don’t rely on motivation but instead are extremely disciplined.
The only way to build your discipline is through old-school suffering. Sheer and utter suffering is the only way you will be able to minimize your governor. Again, it’s not the answer you looked for, but it is what it is. Greatness is boring and is filled with pain.

Step #4 – Visualize Future Obstacles
The next step down our list is to visualize future obstacles. This will be more beneficial than you think, trust me. And not only will it be more effective than you think, but visualization is one of the most beneficial tools you’ll have in your arsenal when it comes to goal attainment.
You want to visualize the obstacles that might appear on your way to attain your fighter’s body. Let’s talk about some of these things.
- Lack of motivation
- Not wanting to wake up early in the morning
- Not wanting to train
- Feeling bad about your results and quitting
- People making fun of you
- You having to explain what you’re doing to people
- Lack of results
These are a handful of the obstacles that I’ve faced on my way to achieving my fighter’s body. I had a lack of motivation for most of my fighting career, so you will definitely need to push through the discomfort and pain most of the time.
Another obstacle you might face is people making fun of you, and you, as a result, quitting. Imagine what it would feel like if your parents would try to talk you out of your upcoming journey. Would you let them influence you? Visualize that situation happening in real life and think about ways to continue with complete discipline and commitment.
Visualize the obstacles you’ll face on your journey and think of creative solutions. What can you do to stop your governor from influencing your brain?
This will be the ace in the sleeve you’ll pull when you face one of these obstacles in real-time.
Step #5 – Overcome These Obstacles Time and Time Again
Now that you have identified the obstacles you’ll face in real life and visualized what it would require from you to overcome them, it’s time to see if you’re made from champion material. Because if you’re made from champion material, the fun part comes next.
Be ready to sweat like crazy while overcoming the obstacles you’ve listed out time and time again. I don’t want to discourage you but you’ll face thousands of obstacles throughout this journey. I’m not even exaggerating when I say thousands. It’ll be thousands of obstacles you’ll have to face over the course of a few months.
This is why my personal coaching is so effective. I’ll be there for you every time one of them rises and will help you get through each and every one of them. Whether you want to stop indulging in a certain addiction or get the fighter’s body, I’ll be there for you! Book a call today and we’ll start working together.
This is what champions are made out of. They’re not made from temporary motivation but from sheer willpower and discipline. Overcoming these obstacles time and time again will hone your brain and allow you to consistently improve and progress.
Step #6 – Optimize Your Diet
Now. It’s time we review one of the most important parts you’ll face on your journey to attaining your fighter’s body. This part is nutrition. Optimizing your diet will allow you to shed body fat, build muscle, and ensure you’re not overtrained. Optimizing your diet is the missing piece for most people who are on their fitness journeys.
It’s also the most difficult part, but this is why I created Blinklift, to help you attain your wildest dreams. And if your goal is to build a fighter’s body that’ll make you more proud of yourself than you can imagine, then we’ll make it happen.
Anyways, back to nutrition. There’s so much to cover about nutrition, that there’s no way I’ll be able to cover everything in a single article, so let’s go over the most basic stuff that you must know to get your first batch of results.
First, you want to focus on eating more protein. Protein is the building block of our body, as you probably know by now. While carbs and fats are also important, you’ll see more results if you focus on eating more protein. Also, you want to understand what caloric deficit and caloric surplus mean and the role they have in losing or gaining muscle.
If you’re in a caloric surplus (eating more than you’re burning), you’ll gain fat/build muscle. If you’re in a caloric deficit (eating less than you’re burning), you’ll lose body fat/lose muscle mass. Simple as that.
To understand more about nutrition for fighters, watch the video below.

Step #7 – Avoid Overtraining
The final step we’ll review in this article is to avoid overtraining. Avoiding overtraining is difficult, especially when you’re starting out and you’re full of motivation. That’s why you want to make sure you understand the premise behind not overtraining your body.
The basic premise of avoiding overtraining is to avoid training the same muscle groups on consecutive days. If you’re training your chest and triceps on Sunday, avoid using them as intensely on Monday.
That’s how you’ll avoid overtraining in the long term.
Bonus Step – Stretch & Enjoy the View
If you repeat the steps, you’ll get the results. What you want to make sure you do now is stretch and enjoy the view.
Life is suffering, as I always say. It can be difficult to stay disciplined enough to have fun while doing the hard work. However, by taking a break once in a while to enjoy your progression and enjoy the view, not only will you be able to increase your motivation (which doesn’t matter, but always nice to have), but you’ll also have more fun on this journey.
The best activity I found to relax and enjoy the view is stretching. Stretching does not only allow you to improve your flexibility, which some studies found to decrease the risk of injury, but it’s also a fun activity you can do to take a break and thank your body.
After all, your body is the vehicle that gets you to your goals, so you want to repay it by taking good care of it.
Make sure to stretch and harvest your fruits.
Final Words
I know you found immense value in this article. However, I wish I could write more, but it’ll be ineffective if I do. Sometimes, you have to condense the most important material to fit the format of an article or a video, which is what I did here.
I’ll end this article on a positive note. This journey is the most difficult, yet most fulfilling and enjoyable I took part in. Building the perfect physique requires you to develop self-control, discipline, and many other attributes that will be of use to you for the rest of your life.
