Striking The Right Balance Between MMA Bulk, Strength & Explosive Training


Guest Author: Ben Sanderson.

mma strength training“Is explosion more important than bulk for your MMA lifting routine? This used to be a bigger argument in not only MMA but in many other sports as well. While bulk has often been directly related to the concept of strength, such as when considering a strongman or an NFL lineman, it can be counterproductive when an athlete requires speed as well as power to obtain specific results.

 

About Bulk

Typically bulk muscle is only useful for lifting heavy objects over a certain range of motion. For tests of raw power, bulk strength is very effective. In MMA being a larger and heavier fighter can allow you to bully an opponent to an extent, but usually only in the heavyweight division. Other weight classes have such a small range of weight allowance that it would be almost impossible to bulk up enough over another fighter to be able to use those additional pounds effectively.

A GSP Rushfit Update And A Clue Of What’s To Come


Hey guys, I have already written a review of GSP Rushfit and some of you will know that I gave it a good recommendation, especially for you that want to burn fat and cut up. Well I didn’t think I would be writing much more on the fitness program but I found some things out from some press releases of the workout program progress that I thought might interest you guys.

 I may have said this before but Rushfit launched in Dec 2010 and within a year sold 250,000 copies worldwide. GSP Rushfit has recently of this year been distributed in Australia, where George St Pierre has a massive fan base, along with Mixed Martial Arts in general. The distributor of the GSP Rushfit series is also planning to expand on more countries to retail the workout DVD and so this shows the confidence and success of the Program even further. continue reading…

Skeptical About the George St. Pierre Workout?


When I checked out the website after a quick Google search, I couldn’t help but play the Rushfit video. Between the flashy music, the slow motion kicks, and the grunting man with dumbbells over his head, I thought the George St. Pierre Workout was being a bit pushy and overdressed for the occassion. However, i heard good things from people around me in the fitness industry and so i made a big effort to see it through. Of course, I could lose some weight, the program wasn’t all that expensive, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is pretty hot right now so, I agreed. I also took it one step further, and decided to write a review for you guys when the eight-week program was over. Here goes nothing.

 

After The First Few 45 Min Training Sessions…

Wow, was I sore after the first three days. This program is not for the faint of heart. The basic strategy of the program is to use the MMA workout’s intensity to be the propelling force for an extremely fast program. Usually, programs will require you to go for six months or longer. The George St. Pierre Workout, called “Rushfit,” only lasts for two months, and that’s it. Also, their only requirement is that you give 45 minutes a day and buy a pair of dumbbells. Really? Is that it?

GSP Rushfit Review: A Breakdown Of The Workouts!


Hello and welcome to my Fitness Program Review site!

We all hate over hyped crap. It drives me crazy seeing some online marketing companies selling these products that are better at taking your hard earned dollars than doing what they said they were going to do. With workout systems, it seems to be easier to get away with it, because they can just say, “You didn’t do it right.”  Who would dispute that?  So I have been reviewing workout programs to make sure that you don’t get caught up in a bad program. GSP Rushfit is one of the newest programs online, but is it legitimate?  We take you through all the workouts included in the box set, below. (To see my own review click here).

Another Skeptical Rushfit Review!

Rushfit isn't just for men

I thank you for stopping by! I have already written my own review of rushfit here, but i thought it would be a good idea to get a different perspective on things.

Here is a review from a friend, who i actually recommened it too, as i knew he was a busy guy and definately had some room for improvement in terms of fitness and his overall general health. Sorry dude but it’s true ;)   Queue my buddy Martin Daley!

 

“As an accountant, I sit down all day long. Then, I go home and watch the game on my couch. As you can see, I don’t do a whole lot of exercise, or even walking for that matter. I was beginning to gain unhealthy weight, and I was getting worried. Of course I want to look great for my girlfriend, but I am also concerned about the health affects of obesity. So, when Reece urged me to start training, he recommended Rushfit by a guy named Georges St. Pierre. I must admit, the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) side of it had me interested straight off, which i imagine  for a lot of you, is the reason you are also intrigued. Here it goes…
