I just stick to the basic movement that mimic Muay Tahi moves.
Bench, Squat, Leg raises, Twisting sit ups.
Do low/med weights hight reps, you want to build up endurance as well as strength. Regular Bodybuilding routines will give you stregth but will cut down on your muscle endurace.

wind sprints are your best bet. I do super fast (but short) bursts. For example, i'll jog, then I sprint for about 6 seconds (about the time it would take fora 5 punch/kick/knee combo for example)...
In sparring, you'll find that you'll need short bursts of explosiveness in your combinations, then there might be a lull in the action. Try doing 20-30 short bursts during your run.
Another drill: at the end of each 3 minute round (the last :30,) do 15/15. 15 kicks on each side in rapid fire, power kicks.
Another drill: one straight minute of left/right on the bag
another drill: shins: you and your partner stand facing each other; the first guy throws a low power (30%) kick to your lower shin outside. You do the same back to him. Then he throws one a bit higher, then you match it. Then he throws a kick to the upper thigh, then you repeat. Then you go to the inside of the legs. Then you move up to the ribs, then the shoulder, then the head. BUT, with the head kick, the reciever will tuck his arm in very tight and use his fist up close his head to absorb the kick.
This drill will not only toughen your body up, but will get you used to getting hit. Its a great drill!

Work your neck & forearms for clinching. Also, in your lat workout, perform close grip pulldowns to really gain clinch pulling strength. Lats are very important for clinch. Good clinching is what sets Thai apart from ALL forms of martial arts.

clinching is the equalizer between western boxing and Muay thai. the clinch is where you are chest to chest with your hands around the back of the head or neck. Here you can throw knees to the legs, body or head. You can also throw elbows. For street purposes, you can also use headbuts. You can also throw from the clinch. When you grab someone in the clinch who does not know how to defend or counter, they usually end up freaking out. The clinch alone is why every martial artist should learn Thai. More military like systems utilize more efficient hand positioning since gloves are not in the way. http://www.defendo.com

Defendo hahaha. Sounds like the name of some super-fighting robot.
"Sick of wandering the streets at night, afraid to get jumped by a group of thugs? Then you need - DEFENDO!"

Yes it is a very stupid name. But it's some bad shit. I do recomend that a person learn BJJ & thai before hand though. Defendo is like a mix of all with emphasis on lethal strikes opposed to more sport strikes. Dude knows his shit.Tom Treutlein said:

Look for exercises w/ high-explosiveness and high-volume. I suggest jump-squats, cable tension workouts, and flat bar (high-volume) interchanged training.
Also, sprint intervals are mandatory for MT. Since you're going to need bursts of energy in crucial points of the fight, I'd spend 30min-1hr per day doing sprint intervals.
