Yoga or CT for flex?

Is this outdated then?

I found the thread all by myself

 

I stand corrected if that's the case.

 

Yoga just has such a minimum impact on energy, you can train it 12 sessions in a row even on a stamina or strength supp. Never tested the gains or anything like that though so was just presumption.

Only time I've ever used Yoga was when the rest of the training is energy heavy, mostly near the end of the week when I'd rather not rest and end with over 100% energy for the following week. Yoga is likely worst because the CT sessions probably have Elite coaches behind them, Yoga is a coachless session so while class size will effect CT I'm pretty sure it doesn't impact Yoga or Weight training.

Ironically enough, I'll have the answer to this tomorrow as I've done a full week of general CT vs yoga test on my island fighters :)

 

To make it scientific, please provide the quality of equipment condition for the yoga sessions, and the quality of the coach for CT sessions

 

My current experience tell me that the Yoga boost to flexibility is equal to the Circuit (general) boost to flexibility.

  • That means that Circuit is the better choice, considering that all the other physicals will get the same boost aswell.
  • Yoga is a good choice only if, at the end of the week, you would drop below 90% energy with any other form of training.

Two fighters, made on the same date, 26 years old, in the same gym.

 

Fighter A did 9x yoga, 2x WR sparring, 1x MT sparring

Fighter B did 12 General CTs with, on average, 2 fighters per session

 

 

Fighter A went with flex from 74.4 to 87.6, so 13.2 gain

Fighter B went from 79.9 to 86.8, so 6.9 gain. 1 on 1 training is roughly 12 % better than 2 on 1, so that would be ~8.28 gain with that

 

Yoga gains to other stats was roughly 1 yoga = 0.5 gen CT for balance, 1 yoga = 0.3 gen CT for agi, and 1 yoga = 0.1 gen CT for speed

 

Energy cost is ~0.3% per Yoga and ~1% per CT (will vary based on conditioning).

 

My personal conclusion is that the best way to raise flex when starting the week at 100 % energy is to do 4x yoga + 8x gen CT in the week, because it takes ~precisely the 10 % energy Sunday recovers.
