Greg Jackson: Powerliftings a "problem" for Jon Jones

[Daniel4802]

Powerlifting does not make you stiff. Scientifically proven.

It will only adversely effect his cardio IF he trains his cardio less as a result. Which is a real possibility, admittedly.

He looked fine. Just didn't pull trigger. Ring rust if anything.

I can't recall which Olympic games it was but sometime in the 90s, there was a study done where all athletes competing were measured for flexibility (range of motion) and the lifters ranked second only behind gymnasts. If you want to lift and pull extremely heavy loads with powerlifting/Olympic lifting, safely, your range of motion about the shoulder, hip and ankle has to be phenomenal.

Meh. It looked like it did have an effect, physically (slower, cardio a bit off), but maybe Jones needs that gym time to keep himself occupied and away from the other things he was doing that were destructive to his career. Maybe he sees it as a net game?

Personally I think the biggest issue was ring rust which after that time off is to be expected.

hahaha there was no gassing at all, Jones was totally fresh at the end of the 5th round. stop seeing things that are not there.

 

[Roca]

Wow. You guys are dumb.

 

[Rogerdraven]

His real problems were most likely ring rust and fighting a guy somewhat close to his size. He has only fought 2 guys close to his size and look terrible against both of them.

Powerlifting is very different from olympic style lifting, olympic lifters are very flexible and has a great range of motion. But powerlifting the jones has been doing, I have been trying to say this for ever, it doesn't make you a better or stronger wrestler.

Your neighbor was your mom and your dog was your penis. Every other detail I believe.

Wait, but he slapped his neighbour, wouldnt it make more sense that his neighbour was his penis then.

There is a HUGE difference between powerlifting and olympic lifting. Olympic lifts require lots of flexibility and explosive power over a large range of motion, whereas powerlifting focuses on slow, controlled movements minimizing range of motion. It's not really comparable.

Jones himself admitted to slowing down the pace a lot in post fight interviews. It's logical to assume that he did so because his gas tank couldn't handle a fast pace for this fight. Both Jones and Greg Jackson implied he was gassing; that's not the same as "seeing things that are not there" bud.

 

[Oblivian]

I thought he looked similar to how he did vs. Rashad. Jones is very unpredictable when it comes to turning into beastmode and finishing vs. just cruising along.

Greg Jackson is his problem. Powerlifting is awesome

 

[DeadlyDuddly]

You got a wild imagination bruh. I also like how your such a bad ass you felt the need to slap a guy for helping you out.

Using the word bruh or brah , always a sign on pure pussy . Infact i can smell your pussy from here . If you don't like my posts don't read them .I have been on here long enough to know , not to read your posts , full of shite .

 

[MYSTXRIVL]

Lol sorry, but no. Look at his body, he looks nothing like he did when he was powerlifting.

Yes he's standing by a manlet in the powerlifting photo, but there's a clear difference in what muscles were worked, what his bodyfat levels are, etc., between when he was powerlifting and how he looked after training for MMA. The two guys look nothing alike... because Jon stopped powerlifting months ago to get back to focusing on MMA muscles.

Powerlifting had nothing to do with his performance.

u realize he has a pump from working out in the first picture? have u ever been to a gym and lifted?

I read your post because it was a direct reply to mine and i got a notification from Sherdog? So who's idiotic ? If you don't keep replying to my posts i'm quite happy to skip past yours and have no interaction with you . You were the one who started the long distance internet tough guy stuff ?

Mr....... Number1cockchoker.

 

[TheLuckiest]

We don't have enough data to assume that getting stronger hurt his cardio. He didn't look tired at all. He looked off beat and hesitant, but nothing showed fatigue in any way.

And how did I start the tough guy stuff? You were the one who boasted about slapping your neighbor. God damn how fucking dumb are you? Seriously? BTW you have an option now to not reply to my post dumbass, take your wise advise.

Nick curson mentioned in a post (instagram IDB) that he thought jones lifting heavy was not a good idea.

Nick Curson woulda had him on a steady diet of dhea. Problem solved
