So lately I’ve been working hard to demonstrate to people the significance of dynamic strength drills. I want to explain how they play such a huge role in not only building athleticism, but also in helping people to develop a truly optimal level of fitness. This can be communicated by looking at how the practice of martial arts has influenced this. If you look closely you can see how it has bled into the fitness community. It’s helped to forge some of the fittest individuals the world has ever seen. If you don’t believe me then just take a look at Bruce Lee.  Take a look at any high level MMA fighter for that matter.

How To Enhance Your Fitness And Physical Work Capacity

The original publishing date of today’s article was back on November 30, 2017.

If you want to improve your fitness then you’ve got to enhance your physical work capacity. There are several ways you can go about doing this. However to do it effectively you need to understand what is most effective.

This is one article you don’t want to miss out on. Make sure you read through this one carefully and share it out to your family and friends.

  1. Do you currently look to enhance your fitness and conditioning for faster recovery?
  2. Are you interested in learning how you can supercharge your conditioning for your life and sport activity? 
  3. So are you looking to increase your ability to perform greater work output? 

I’ve been very fortunate in my career to have trained a variety of different athletes. When it comes to being able to compete and to get to the next level the only thing that separates the good from the great is one’s ability to do more work. Of course in terms of training, fitness, and physical competition this is a challenge when you think your heart is going to beat out of your chest.  This is without question the proverbial kick to the balls and it is what us strength coaches refer to as Physical Work Capacity.

4 Mechanical Tactics To Improve Your Strength Besides Lifting Heavy

4 Mechanical Tactics To Improve Your Strength Besides Lifting Heavy

  1. Are you struggling to lift heavy due to injuries and ailments? 
  2. Do you feel like your quality of movement is suffering when you try to lift heavy? 
  3. Have you seen a drop off in your strength because you’re not able to lift heavy as frequently?
  4. Are you wanting to build strength and muscle, but have experienced too much disruption in your normal heavy lifting routine? 

In order to maintain and improve your strength you have to visualize your body as the blade of a knife. If you put that knife away after use and never do anything to consistently sharpen that blade then it will dull and rust. Likewise if you don’t know how to handle the knife you can damage the blade. Your body responds the same way in regards to what you do to improve it’s function. You have to keep the blade sharp and learn how to do so by thinking outside of the realm of always trying to hit the heavy lift…especially at the expense of quality movement.

5 Athletic Strength Exercises For Fighting

5 Athletic Strength Exercises For Fighting

The original publishing date of today’s post was back on June, 12 2018.

If you’re currently training in martial arts, or MMA then you need to invest the time to hone your athleticism. As a strength coach I notice that athletic strength is one of the first elements that fighters tend to put on the shelf.

This mindset traditionally derives from the thought that one can get all the strength and athleticism they need from their specific sport. However this is not the case. Learn how to utilize these strength exercises to enhance your MMA and martial arts fitness.

  1. Are you competitive in martial arts, or MMA and looking for a way to build more athleticism? 
  2. Do you have an interest in speeding up your performance for your martial arts practice? 
  3. Are you looking to build strength to improve your strikes and/or grappling skills? 
  4. Are you interested in building more athletic strength to enhance your coordination and reaction time? 

Whether you’re a martial arts practitioner, or looking to get seriously competitive in MMA you need to hone a good portion of your strength exercises to develop your athleticism. Consequently, without the added development of coordination and speed you may end up being somebody’s punching, or kicking bag during a tough sparring session. So today I’m going to provide you with some strength exercises to make your striking and grappling skills much tougher for your opponent.

An illustration of the kinetic chain. When Achilles was a little baby his mother dipped him into a river of magic in order to protect him from the world. It worked because Achilles could not be harmed except on the one heel that his mother neglected to submerge in the water because of where she held him when she dipped him into the water.
