It is best to split them up into two separate sessions without
at least one meal in between. However, if you must do them
together, because of your schedule then resistance training
first and cardio second.

I am totally backwards. I do cardio first. I have found i pull
far fewer muscles when I do this. Also I do not care about mac
lifts or growth.

For what you do, brother, it totally makes sense do cardio first
for the exact reasons you mentioned. Your primary focus is
endurance, mobility and functional strength. I was speaking more
on muscle growth and fat loss.

I got ya brother, only day I go heavy , or heavy for me is leg
day. Dense quads really do help deal with leg kicks. I really
don't do much for upper body. Starting to have joint probs in
the elbows. Deads and heavy rows HURT!

Then don't do them. Haha. Your elbows are already taking a
beating from sparring, grappling, hitting the bag, fighting,
etc... Don't beat them up more by going heavy with the barbell.
Instead find ways to use dumbbells and make the movement more
difficult.
One of my favorites to replace the barbell row is the bent over
double dumbbell row. I will use an adjustable bench and place it
at an incline so that I can comfortably rest my forehead on it
in a bent over position and row the dumbbells up. You are not
using your head for support, only as a gauge. Once you get to
the point you cannot row and keep your head from coming off the
bench, you are done. You have reached the point of muscle
failure. Being that you can also rotate the dumbbells into a
neutral, 30 or 45 degree angle you can get a better ROM and do
not have to go as heavy.

Great info, I will try. I still do pullups, chinups and but
just gripping the bar hurts my elbows. I will have to try the
rows with light weights and see how it goes.
