Do You Want a Champion’s Physique, Power, Speed, & Cardio?Strength & conditioning coach acclaimed by pro fighters, MMA/UFC personalities, and celebrity trainers speaks out on just what MMA workouts you need for your MMA training.Hey gang,How much time have you wasted on worthless MMA workouts?Suppose, for a minute, that you had a workout that would elevate your MMA training to the next level – an MMA workout program that would get you into prime shape.That would be pretty cool, right? (Even if you weren’t a fighter, but just a fan, wouldn’t it be awesome to be in shape like some of the biggest ass-kickers in the world?)Suppose, again, that you could have this awesome MMA workout, but only this time, you could have it adapted your specific needs. Imagine that instead of blowing all this time on workout programs that don’t work (and not finding out until after you’ve wasted three months of your life), or trying to come up with an MMA workout on your own, you had one right there…all laid out for you…created for your needs.That would be even more cool, wouldn’t it?Well, my fellow MMA enthusiast, let me introduce you to Working Class Fitness – The Programs. It’s the set of workout programs (yeah – that means there’s more than just one!) that is getting pro fighters into their all-time best shape, and turning ‘girly-men’ into ‘he-men’ literally all over the world.How it all beganMMA as a sport has been growing like gang-busters the past few years. And everybody from the aspiring fighter to the promotions to the average fan is better off because of it.But it wasn’t always that way.In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that pro fighters were still working full-time jobs, just to afford to keep training – much less making a living. And hiring a strength coach? Yeah, right.I kept having fighters (and even guys who didn’t train in MMA, but wanted to look like a UFC star) contact me, looking for MMA workout programs. They had all tried ‘this’ MMA workout or ‘that’ MMA workout, only to get nowhere.Why did they come to me? Well, I’ve devoted 16+ years to training, and have helped train people from all over the world. I’ve had 90+ articles and workout programs published, including having my own MMA workout column at MMA Weekly.com (rated ‘2008 MMA News Site of the Year’ by mixedmartialarts.com). The Light Bulb Came OnOne day, I had one of those ‘Aha!’ moments.After helping a fighter design his workout plans, I knew that I had to do something. The MMA universe needed workout programs that not only targeted mixed martial arts, but all the different needs fighters might have!I excitedly threw in some old MMA tapes that night. I watched strong guys like Mark Coleman and Tito Ortiz. I watched fast guys like Phil Baroni (in his early days!). I watched guys with great endurance Sakuraba. I watched guys that hit hard like Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva. I watched guys that wrestled like Matt Hughes and Sean Sherk. I watched guys that submitted their opponents like Royce Gracie. I even watched Rampage Jackson slam a bunch of guys.What did they all have in common?They were all different!It was then that I knew fighters needed something like Working Class Fitness – The Programs. Six, completely different 8-week MMA workout programs that targeted all different areas of strength, power, conditioning, work capacity, athleticism, and more.It wasn’t long before these workout plans were being ‘tested’ by several fighters, military and law enforcement, and “regular joes”. Virtually right away, the verdict was a resounding…”TWO THUMBS UP!” Guys were getting stronger, which was improving the clinch, ground control, and making for more solid submissions.Guys were getting faster, which meant faster takedowns and quicker sprawls.Guys were getting more powerful, which letting them hit and kick harder, leading to more KOs…and even let a few get their own Rampage Jackson or Matt Hughes-like slams!Guys were having better cardio, which meant they weren’t getting tired in the ring or cage. This not only kept them more focused during the fight, but gave them more confidence.Guys had better work capacity, meaning they could work harder – and for longer – than their opponent. (And the judges like guys who work more!)Guys looked better which…well…maybe looking better didn’t help their MMA game much, but it sure didn’t hurt them with the ladies!! (haha…and you never know…maybe an opponent or two were even intimidated by an imposing physique)”Conditioning is the Greatest Hold”Legendary Catch Wrestler Karl Gotch once said this now slightly famous saying. And it’s true – conditioning is indeed the greatest hold. In other words, it’s the most dominant way you can make a guy give up. It doesn’t matter how hard you can hit or kick, how good your wrestling is, or how slick your submissions…if all you’re doing is sucking wind, you can’t do any of them. Many champions have lost fights simply because the other guy was in better shape. Look at it this way – now that many fighters are making big money – if great workout programs and MMA workouts weren’t important, do you think so many fighters would have dedicated strength & conditioning coaches…just like they do for wrestling, muay thai, BJJ, etc?Ultimate Customization – You Pick Your Own Results!Though each workout plan in Working Class Fitness – The Programs a total mma workout progam, each has a different specific focus. That way, you can attack your weaknesses while still maintaining (and even improving) your other strength, power, and conditioning needs. It doesn’t matter where your mixed martial arts training is lacking – it’s covered in these workout programs.I don’t need to tell you how increased strength, power, and conditioning will benefit your MMA training. But just in case you’re wondering, let’s take a quick look at each workout program and how it will help you improve your game:——————————————————————————–MMA Workout Program #1 – Overall Body Strength, Power, Conditioning, & Athleticism While it’s true that you can start with any of the six workout plans you like, I usually recommend starting out with this one – esecially for mixed martial arts training. This will test you across the board – strength, power, cardiovascular and muscular conditioning, how hard you can work, and even mental toughness (what I call “testicular fortitude”). If you can’t handle this workout program, then you’re probably gonna have a tough time in any sort of hard fought MMA. ——————————————————————————–MMA Workout Program #2 – Lower Body Quickness & Agility, Overall Strength & Power-Endurance, Explosiveness, Arm Size Here’s where power gets built, and gets built to go for a while. Sure you’re strong, but are you quick? There have been plenty of strong guys in the ring, but how many could move? There’s nothing slow going on in the cage/ring. You’ll not only have that strength to take down, punch, flip, etc. your opponent, but have that “SNAP” to do it before he knows what hit him – whenever you need to. And if your footwork isn’t that good, there’s a simple drill at the begining of every workout that will help you make that better.——————————————————————————–MMA Workout Program #3 – Sandbags & Weight Dragging, Work Capacity, Overall Conditioning, “Get Outside and Into the Fresh Air” Time to find out if that strength and power you have in the weight room will carry over to the mat. This is the closest you’ll get to finding out outside of your actual MMA training. You might be in for a rude awakening. That’s Ok – now use that strength and power in strange, wierd angles – just like you would in the cage/ring. Your opponent isn’t just gonna let you hit him, pick him up, take him down, or roll him over. Neither will the sandbag. And you’ll build the strength and power-endurance to be able to do it when you’re tired. In other words, in the last round, instead of sucking wind like your opponent, you’re still strong and ready to go. Not to mention that Dragging is about the safest type of workout program you can do. Nursing injuries or trying to stay healthy? Here you go. And you get to get outside in the sun while you do it… ——————————————————————————–MMA Workout Program #4 – Sprinting Speed, Limit Strength, Overall Muscular Size/Bodybuilding This is when you just get strong. Ever roll or spar with a guy and say “DAMN, that was one strong dude!” Well, that’s gonna be you after this program. Keep the bar moving as quick as you can (regardless of how much weight you’re using) to keep your power up. The sprinting will not only make you quicker, but will greatly contribute to your lower body power. EXPLODE on your opponnent! And if you need some extra size or muscle because you’re too small for your weight class – add just a few calories to this workout and call me in the morning. ——————————————————————————–MMA Workout Program #5 – Bodyweight Exercise, Muscular/Strength Endurance, Work Capacity, Overall Conditioning Train wherever you want. Got a chin bar or something solid to drape a towel or rope over? Great, then you can do Program #5. You’ll be able to take that strength and power you’ve got, and add that endurance factor so that you can use that strength and power as much as you need – make those muscles keep working and keep working and keep working (just like you might have to do in an MMA match). And since you can do this workout program anywhere, you can do it while traveling, on vacation, or use it to just spend some time out of the gym/dojo and get a change of scenery. ——————————————————————————–MMA Workout Program #6 – “Man-handling Your Bodyweight” – Bodyweight Exercise, Barbells, & Sandbags, Strength/Power/Muscular Endurance, Overall Conditioning, Work Capacity This one is pretty easy – when you can complete this one, you’ll not only be able to manhandle any object that weighs what you do (INCLUDING your opponent in the ring/cage), but but able to do it as long as you need to. This mean that you can pick up, slam, hold, or whatever you need to do to your opponent. This means nothing but good things for you in the ring/cage. ——————————————————————————–Wiggy Doing a Sandbag Exercise from Workout Program #3 7 Reasons Why You Should Use Working Class Fitness – The Programs For Your MMA TrainingNo guesswork needed – everything is laid out for you (sets, reps, when to do what, etc.)Picking your own MMA workout means getting the results you needSelf analysis – learn how to asses yourself and where you’re lacking (that way, you make sure you pick the right workout program for your MMA training!)No ‘fancy-schmancy’ equipment needed – do these MMA workouts in any commercial gym, high school or university weight room, or even a decent home gym (and the couple things you might not have, I show you how to make for next to nothing!)You get 48 total weeks of MMA workout programs – almost an entire year (and they could last forever when you repeat them)Strength, Endurance, Power, Cardio – it doesn’t matter what you need…it’s all covered!It’s FREAKIN’ CHEAP (how does less than 12¢ per workout grab you!?!)”But I’m not a fighter…” So, you’re just a fan, and MMA is just a hobby.
