Media Valentina Shevchenko (TUF) - no water allowed, when training?

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Is there more to this than the clip shows?

 

[ryun253]

she seem like the type to stay dry year round

 

[milliniar]

It's an old school training mentality.

 

[Oscar Madison]

Can they drink PRIME?

 

[The Big Babou]

Brutal...

I trained years ago under similar conditions (traditional martial arts not MMA)

Often in a gym with minimal ventilation, certainly no a/c which was tough here in Australia as the temp would quickly rise into the high 20's / low 30's Celcius and incredibly humid

We were told it was for building mental toughness but I suspected the lower utility bills also had something to do with it

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

ben shapiro approves of dryness.

 

[Haj01]

Drinking alcohol during training not good for you anyway. Of course you only should drink before or after training.

One of those idiots.

Like the American wrestler (or was it football player) who died from heatstroke while being denied water.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

She's mentally tougher than most American male fighters.

Pathetic.

Not if she was around me sir

Yeah, he was 300+ pounds and out in the sun.

This isn't really the same thing to be fair sir.

Does it work?

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

Does it work?

Yes it does. People are just

your beard would be soaked with Valentinas juices sir

I feel you.. boxing gyms here in the Philippines are the same, except the humidity is !@#$ing brutal with no fans or air that's circulated, at the gyms I go to anyways. warm ups and a couple rounds of jumproping and my shirt is already nearly drenched :\

 

[Prologue]

Fremen-esque, is the water discipline of Valentina Shevchenko.

 

[xhaydenx]

When I trained MMA/BJJ/Karate or hike, I always did this.

I'm a masochist though so I enjoy this sort of thing.

It's dumb and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever lol.

 

[StonedLemur]

I would leave it on there as an air freshener sir lmao

Water loading before training isn't the worst idea as long as you're supplying enough electrolytes. For people who sweat profusely, dehydration is basically gambling on a cardiac event.
