Cro Cop Training Highlight
With UFC 99 coming up June 13th in Cologne Germany, former PRIDE openweight champ and K-1 kickboxer Mirko “Cro-Cop” Filipovic, (24-6-2) is returning to fight Mustafa Al-Turk (6-4) in an anticipated heavyweight match-up. Mirko is one of my favorite fighters so I am excited to watch this fight.
Below is a training video in how [...]
21 days of Supplements to Build a Better Body
Im not usually a person that likes to use supplements when I work out, although I have used some in the past. Products such as creatine and NO Explode are things I have found success with it, but not enough to actually continue using them. It could be that I never really followed the directions [...]
25 Reps @ 225 lb Squats Burnout
Today’s finishing workout for Squats was a burnout at 225 lbs. I previously talked about shocking your muscles into growth and also made a video about another method to shock your muscles with a drop-set.
This is another method to help increase your strength, power, and development.

Do MMA fighter’s need conditioning?
With the surge of Mixed Martial arts and the popularity of UFC becoming internationally mainstream, it seems like everyone wants to start training in some sort of discipline. Kickboxing, boxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu, and grappling, among other disciplines are all integrated and put into competition inside a cage or ring. It may seem like just [...]
To be Big and Bulky or Lean and defined? That is the question.
For almost all of the 15 years that I have been working out, I have constantly struggled with this question: Do I want to be Big and Bulky or Lean and defined? It may sound like a stupid question, but it really is something that I, along with so many other people, ponder.
What would you [...]
Chuck Liddell KO’d
Last night’s UFC was pretty disappointing to most, with a lackluster championship fight to end the night. For me, it was the end of an era. Chuck “the Iceman” Liddell, one of the most dominating 205lb fighters the world has ever known, was knocked out again by Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. He’s lost 4 of his [...]
World’s Strongest Man workouts
I recently was watching the World’s Strongest Man contest on ESPN2 and was quite amazed at the strength that these men have. For those that don’t know what the WSM contest is, it pits men from different countries against each other in physical events that test every ounce of muscle and strength that they have. [...]
Child Obesity
How often do you go out to a restaurant or some kind of eatery and see a child that is completely overweight, eating far larger portions than they really should? My guess is a lot. Situations like this are becoming an epidemic where children are becoming largely obese at younger ages; there seems to be [...]
Timed Workouts
When doing circuit training, a stopwatch or timer is your best friend. I typically like to use 1 minute per exercise for a total of 5 exercises, with 5 minutes per set and 1 minute rests in between. When you don’t have that option of timing your workouts, the next best thing is [...]
Chicken Legs
No matter how hard I work out my legs, they will always be referred to as “chicken legs”, and as much as I used to hate it, it doesn’t even bother me anymore. There is absolutely nothing that I can do to get rid of that moniker.
Why do I say there is absolutely [...]
