I've been a strength and conditioning coach for going I a decade. SpnkBlw is right; the deadlift is the biggest return on investment for general structural strength.
I would add to his suggestion: invest in being taught the lift by a competent coach. And choose and follow a program designed for novice lifters.
Do not watch some YouTube vids and try to start pulling heavily loaded bars from the floor. :-)
For sore back: proper leg stretches after any exercise, and especially after fighting. Stretch calves, hams, glutes. Most back pain is from tight leg muscles pulling unevenly, and core/back muscles spasm to compensate. Stay loose!
Thanks for this advice... I am always looking for more training tips for the same reason as Hephaisteon2014. In my case, I know the issue was an intense scissor that I did not tap out of in time. Any other guys that want to throw in some suggested workout and training tips that do NOT involve a gym are welcome. In my case... its easier to wake up early... go for a run, swim a little... and then do things like bodyweight exercising. (burpees, pull ups, push ups, etc.) .. but I dont think that is adequate.

1/04/2015 4:28 PMDeadlift. Properly. With good form.
Beltless. Creating intra-abdominal pressure by holding your belly flat and tort.
Deads are the easiest 'swiss army knife' type lift for overall structural integrity and strength
Also throw in some reverse hyperextensions, hyperextension on a roman chair and (carefully and with good form) some good mornings.
Those are the easiest to do. And have access to

1/04/2015 7:50 AMAnyone got any good tips or exercises I can do to make them stronger.
Keep getting injured/sore in that area and taking ages to get back to normal.
Want to make that area stronger as clearly a weakness. Any suggestions?
