It was either that or talk about LSD vs. HIIT. The novelty kinda wore off after the first dozen or so threads about it...
*walks in with flowers and candles*
*sees centaur, throws them out of the window*
'hey guys'
now now, its not just them
other people have said it as well.
Agreed about the novalty wearing off though

Did you read the same article I read? I didn't see any of this mentioned.

I think he's referring to a different article. One on putting together a home gym. I read this article as well after he pointed it out but I think that article is in the "general health" section so I don't think the equipment selection really applies to those training for MMA.
Interesting though..
If you had to put together an MMA home gym.. what equipment selections would you choose?..
I'd say ..
Kettlebells
Freemotion Cable Machine
(have one at the gym I train at and it's sick for core work, throwing resisted punches, knees etc.) I also position the cables really high and put one of those bosu balls on the ground and do some ground and pound work.
Thai heavy bag obv.
What else?

I hate to do this ..
But I was just reading an article in training myths by Joe Defranco and guess what myth #7 was?..
Myth #7: It’s important to build an aerobic base of conditioning before getting into more intense anaerobic work.
"There's no physiological basis for this statement. Having an aerobic base doesn’t help you perform or recover from anaerobic work. Think about this, do you think a marathon runner would be able to withstand the demands of an intense football game? On the other hand, do you think that one of the NFL’s superstars would be able to complete a marathon?
Of course not! This is because the physiological demands of both sports have about as much in common as Howard Stern and Kathie Lee Gifford. Yet athletes who participate in anaerobic sports still tend to associate getting in shape with long, slow, distance training. Nothing can be further from the truth.
A more productive alternative to jogging or cycling a couple of miles would be to perform multiple anaerobic activities with short rest intervals over a prolonged period of time. For example, performing a GPP (general physical preparedness) workout that consists of bodyweight calisthenics (jumping jacks, bodyweight squats, squat thrusts, etc.), movement skills (power skipping, side shuffling, backpedaling, etc.) and mobility drills, is far superior to linear, slow, long-distance running.
By performing exercises that challenge an athlete’s relative strength, balance and coordination in a continuous fashion, we’re able to improve their endurance without the loss in muscle mass, strength and speed that’s associated with the slow distance method."

why would you want resisted punches and knees?
