One of the biggest misconceptions when designing an MMA Workout is that all you have to worry about is what kinda qualities to develop.

(In other words, do you work on building strength, speed, cardio, endurance, etc?)

Now, while that question is of vital importance – you should know that being in shape can make or break any fighter – there is something else you should worry about, and that’s what kind of exercises you’re doing?

However, I’m not talking about that quasi ‘sport specific’ crap you see peddled out there. You know – those stupid, made-up movements where you replicate the stuff you do in the cage in the gym. Stupid exercises where you mimic punching, or holding somebody down, or that other junk. All that stuff is not only stupid-looking, but most of it is pretty useless when it comes to actual fighting. In fact, many times, it’ll completely screw up your mechanics and could actually make you a worse fighter.

*gulp*

Instead, I’m talking about making sure you target movement patterns, motions, and certain muscle groups. Building these things in a general sense is good – then when you do your skills work, drilling, and sparring, your body learns to apply all those new qualities (that strength, speed, etc – with the correct musculature) to your actual fighting.

See the difference?

When designing strength and power workouts, most strength coaches center upper body workouts around pushing exercises – stuff like the bench press, incline bench, or overhead press. This is because those exercises all use multiple muscle groups, can build a ton of muscle, and you can move a bunch of weight when doing them (which means you get stronger).

However, if you’re a fighter, there’s a better way to do it.

See, many combat sports – including MMA, wrestling, submission grappling, and more – have a very big pulling element to them. There’s a lot of it in grappling, sinking in submissions, and ground control. Even the clinch in your stand-up game is largely pulling.

You pull a helluva lot more than you push…

That’s when why I put together the “Championship Edition 2.0″ MMA Workout, I made pulling exercises a focus of workouts. You’ll see a lot of pullups, chins, rows, and other pulling movements – for max weight, max reps, and as ‘assistance’ type exercises.

In fact, there are entire phases in which even the lower body workouts utilize a lot of pulling work – stuff like deadlifts, high pulls, rack pulls, cleans, and more. Sure, these exercises all target your lower body, but they still make you pull – building a strong and powerful back, neck, traps, lats, arms, etc.

All stuff you need to be a competitive fighter. And all stuff that many other workouts (even good ones for other sports) leave out.

I wanted to be sure that with the Championship Edition 2.0, that you’re getting all the pulling work you need…something most other MMA workouts just don’t have you doing.

(And I sure as hell don’t want you doing any of that “hey, look at me – I do this dumbass-looking exercise that’s gonna screw up my MMA skills technique and maybe even get me injured because I’m a fighter!” type crap.)

Well, we had UFC 119 last night…and in what is getting to become more and more commonplace in the sport of MMA, we had some what many think is just lousy judging to go along with it.

(Kinda funny that all the MMA fanboys talk about the bad judging in boxing all the time…now it’s carrying over to MMA as well.)

Crazy thing is that it happened not only once, but TWICE on the same card!

As much I’ve been a fan of Sherk over the years, he just didn’t deserve to win that fight. Hell, 3 major MMA news sites all scored it 2 rounds to 1 for Dunham.

(And WTF was it w/Sherk looking like he was getting tired at the end of the 3rd? Since when does he gas?)

But that wouldn’t be the end, as the judges of the Bade/Lil Nog fight ended up deciding that getting in a takedown or two (even if you do nothing with it) is enough to win a round in the last 30 secs or so…even if you lost the other 4:30 of it.

Oh, and a few MMA news sites I checked this morning had Lil Nog winning that one, too.

When you’ve got Dana White sending out how much the judges suck via his Twitter account *during* the event…well…guess there just isn’t much more to say.

There is, however, one MAJOR lesson everybody should learn from this:

NEVER LEAVE IT UP TO THE JUDGES

If you’re a fighter, the absolute worst thing you could do is to let your fight go to a decision. Judges in combat sports in general have proven too many times that the guy who deserves to win the fight isn’t always the one w/his hand raised at the end of the night.

Same goes in ‘regular’ life. Whenever you’re doing any sorta task, unless it’s completely necessary, NEVER let it come down to the point where you have to rely or depend on the opinion of somebody else.

In either kinda scenario, you should always strive to win on your own terms…or at the very least, in such overly convincing fashion that there is NO QUESTION that you just won (no matter what you’re talking about).

And if you’re gonna do that, one of the best things you can do is be in the best shape you possible can be in. Having an advantage in strength, power, conditioning, explosiveness, recovery, how much work you can do, etc is something that puts you in a position to
always be ready to win…

…and win on your own terms.

That’s what the “Championship Edition 2.0″ MMA workout can help you prepare for. A complete 4-phase fight prep program, this workout gets you stronger and gives you better wind, only to take that strength and build explosiveness, to add in intense/paced conditioning, and then to bring it all together with ‘power-conditioning’ – a type of training that makes you not only super explosive, but makes you be able to explode time after time after time after timer…all without getting tired.

And if you’re not competing in the cage, but just in life itself…well…you trying to say that being in the best possible shape still couldn’t help you?

Damn right it could.

So don’t let your ‘wins’ and ‘losses’ be determined by somebody else that might or might not know WTF they’re doing. Don’t leave any doubt to as who the winner is…
