More goofy workouts from UFC fighters - Fabricio Werdum edition

[KONE]

Cain Velasquez has started a terrifying trend

 

[AmazingGebi]

Those seem like decent workouts to me..

[Dowdy]

Those are actually good workouts for explosive power - which is what you want when you fight

Being that it's not insane weight they don't seem bad to me, having that spring in your step is important. They're different but not useless.

that first one, the deep lunge with his weight being on an ankle stabilizer is pretty amazing, seems a quick way to tear a groin tendon though.

guy has feet of steel too.

 

[BloodBonesNButter]

Fuck box jumps yo

It might be a case of:

 

[Sporeborn]

Look pretty functional to me within the context of MMA.

 

[AmazingGebi]

What a god damn fool... LOL

 

[Sgt Smith]

Little did we know this guy was way ahead of the trend.

The first one seems risky but I can see it benefiting his vertical leap for something like a flying knee. The rest seem okay. He's training with Nick Curson, a disciple of the Marinovich brothers. They turned BJ Penn into a beast, and he turned RDA into one. I'm not saying everything he's into is perfect, but his results seem to indicate that he knows at least a little bit about what he's doing.

Man I used to love Zelda. The game, that is.

The whole Cain thing wasn't because it was goofy but because the exercise was "dangerous", these are pretty effective training methods that Kings MMA have been utilizing lately

 

[Lanshire]

Uh...that's the same S&C coach who has gotten RDA into his best shape yet using Marinovich's methods which, while unorthodox, have certainly proven to have merit.

Cain's trainer uses flat out stupid methods like 20+ rep sets with 200 lb kettlebell swings and high rep, high speed leg extension sets - absolutely stupid exercises to perform with that kind of load in that kind of manner.

They're worlds apart as far as "goofy workouts" go.

That first exercise looks like it is specifically designed to blow your ACL before you reach the fight.
