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

[MixMartialFarts]

For every 1 champion who abides by the "no water till we're done training" philosophy, there are 10 who don't.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

should get a small drink of water every 5 min just like in a fight. imho

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

Some stankin ass breath at that gym. Maybe it works, but as the weight classes go up, it's a risk I wouldn't want to take.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Been there done that especially close to fight time or helping a partner train

Best trick is turning the heat up during the summer so condensation falls from the floor

well she the most dominant female fighter, we have to give her some benefit if the doubt here.

One of those idiots.

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

Desantis just made it illegal TO allow specifically for hydration and shade breaks on the hottest of days.

Florida House Bill 433, which DeSantis signed into law in April, prohibits local governments from requiring shade or water breaks for outdoor workers, or even giving preference to employers based on their heat exposure requirements.

Fat Boy Commie Ron is fine with people dying of heat stroke, in fact he encourages it. Most of these people will be field workers of the foreign persuasion.

she seem like the type to stay dry year round

Comment of the day

 

[Robbocop]

Oxygen and water are both essential to life. Hypoxic training methods (restricting oxygen) are quite common among athletes including MMA athletes. One could imagine that restricting water during training might have benefits the same way that restricting oxygen does.

No.

 

[HHJ]

She's mentally tougher than most American male fighters.

That goes without sayin hahah

 

[HHJ]

Giving dominatrix vibes.

I bet that's her rule during sex as well.

Good.

 

[HHJ]

I’d be laughing in her face and drinking anyways. What’s she going to do, get Dana to kick you off the show for drinking water?

She's a spy. One day youll just be gone and they replace you with Jason Von Flue

 

[nonoob]

Body physiology, brain AND muscles, cannot function at it's best when cells get dehydrated.

Jason going to have to put some weight on if he wants to take my place. The pepperoni pizza life ain’t friendly

Edit: I hope she does it with the triangle

Toxic gym culture.

I'd want my guys as fresh as possible during training. You literally can't train as hard or as long if you're dried out.

There's literally no benefit to performance if you intentionally dehydrate yourself. May as well stop eating and sleeping too.

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 :\
