This thread doesn't even make sense to me. Did you forget to add the workout in there dude?

 

[Ifight4Beer]

Its good to do when you don;t have a lot of time to condition, mabee once a week in pre compititon mode. But thats just my oppinion. Im no Randy Couture

 

[tmax1014]

Okay, I went and looked that up and I have to say it sounds like it would be pretty intense. It looks great for grip. Are you supposed to use one load for the entire routine or add weight where needed?

yes you use one load for all lifts, never put down the bar and no rest, off the top of my head heres the round

10 bent rows
10 upright rows
10 overhead press
10 squats
10 lunges both legs
10 squat and press

thats one round

Here is a video of the program.
At least here is the URL of the youtube video maybe someone else can embed it.

i would only do it like 2 times a week so you don't get tendonitis if you are training other stuff too.

It's called a barbell complex. It is a very effective muscle endurance/anaerobic cardio exercise with infinite variations. You can do it every other day.

Ok, I thought I saw deadlift in the mix and was just wondering if you would add weight there or just have a light pull

Here is some information on barbell complexes. It might be a good idea to read up on them rather than just copying some random Randy Couture video.

i believe it's 8 reps each, for 3-5 sets.

Bent-over Rows
Upright Rows
Military Press
Good Mornings
Junges
Thrusters
Romanian Deadlifts


use a weight heavy enough, and it becomes plain brutal.

is it in the team quest dvd for conditioning or in one of randys books? i.e wrestling for fighting

I have done the routine where you do not drop the bar. I used to go to fatigue so much higher reps like (30 - 50) except bicep. The idea is to tire before you hit the 1/2 way mark. No pauses. At the end the lungs are pumping and it is strenuous.

I dont see chest in that.
