OfflineHello every dr.sick i want to thank u for giving us chance to ask u and learn from ur high knowledge in the mma, and also i put this question to any one with experience can answer my question and that thing is always make me confuse and some time it make think to quite the sport
and here is my question as we know strength is very important in the sport as well the skill and the stamina but as i notice in the mma stars such as bob sapp, he is got high strength but why he lose so easily? and his punsh is so weak… and i was mean by high strength that seem he do heavy lifts in the lifts such as bench press and the other lifts… the other example and this example is more powerfull than the first he is mariusz pudzianowski as we know this man won 5 times world champion in strongest man event's .. but as we see him in ring his punches is weak and he even cant lift man!!! i wonder he lift car but he cant lift man … it make me confuse… much respct for this stars mariusz pudzianowski and bob sapp i dont mean any thing bad against them but im wondering whats going on .. what the secret !! in other hand we see guys who seem becnh and lift very few as fedor emelianenko he won very easily on the other's and he seem very strong in the matches
so im guy in judo and want to make some improvement .. im progressively increasing my stamina and my strength and i depand on stamina in the jogging and the strength gains i depand on the lifting weights… is the way im doing is right? i mean would it make me better in future? or it wont matter? coz i see marisz and bob lifiting very heavy and i see marisz do stamina traning and lift heavy and he is zero in the mma … pls help coz if it wrong i can fix it i dont want waste time on thing is not work big thanks for reading my question and again all respcet for all fighters … thank u !!
Hello Stranger. Welcome to the boards.
I think there are a few things going on with your question. First, and foremost, I think with Bob Sap, it's a matter of being very strong but not understanding the Technique side of the game as well as the fighters he goes up against. His strenght can overcome some level of techniuqe, but there's a certain point at which a technique can overcome strength.
The other thing is the type of strength he has. Coach Kiser does a lot of "Body Building" type of training and as a result has the body of Adonis. He is very strong. However, he is slow as molases. His striking is negatively impacted by the type of strength training he does. When he was fighting regularly the type of strength training he was doing was quite different.
In order to build up the level of mass that someone like Sap has, you need to lift weights, eat and sleep a lot. If you work cardio, you'll end up burning a lot of the calories that would otherwise go into building up the large muscles that guys like Sap have. So, they don't work too much cardio and bet the farm on being able to crush their opponents in the first few minutes of a match. Ever wonder why you don't see 10 minute Sumo matches?

Offlinebig thanks for u dr.sick for answer my question's and thank u for welcome me in ur great forum…
i got the idea now and now i will let u see how is my training is
i do twic a week weight traning first day
for chest i do just bench press one set for 10 reps
close grip pull dowen one set of 10 reps
dead lift one set of 10 reps
and then grip work
the other day i will do this
squat one set of ten reps
barbell curl one set of ten reps
tricpes extenson one set of ten reps
up right rows one set of ten reps
calf raises one set of ten reps
then i end up with abs and oblique work
so is this work out is fine? i do this to avoid muscle gain and just build some strength there.. and if this is not ok
can u pls give me sample routine that work well for judo and bjj trainers…
big thanks for u dr.sick
I'm not Dr Sick, but I might suggest more sets with lower weight and more reps. If you lessen the weight but increase the reps, you will gain speed, tone, and conditioning. Also, you could Google fast twitch muscle fibers. Fast twitch muscles that are fast and explosive. Slow twitch are the ones that can go for extended periods of time. Bruce Lee focused on working his fast twitch muscle and did so quite well. At his biggest, he was 5'7"(170 cm) and 145lbs (65kg), and he was stronger and much faster than many bodybuilders.
No bulging or massive muscles, but he could do some pretty amazing things, just by focusing and adjusting his workout and researching the human body. Simply by putting thought and effort into his workout, he could perform 50 one-armed chin ups, hold a 75 lb dumbell in one hand against his chest and slowly extend it out and lock his arm and hold that position, and karate side kick a bag and cause it to swing and hit the ceiling.
I'm not trying to make Bruce Lee sound like a god, (more like a demigod…haha joking), I'm just trying to get across to you that lifting weights doesn't mean you have to build huge muscles. Just work to tone and condition them. Your workout sounds more like a maintenence, just-enough-to-not-lose-muscle workout. Try less wieght, more reps and sets. Also, try some bodyweight exercises, such as pushups, pullups, squat jumps, Russian lunges, etc. They all build explosiveness and speed, and the faster an object is travelling, the harder it will hit.
Hope I helped and didn't just make a fool of myself and annoy you. Haha. Good luck bro!

- Here is an article.
- http://www.t-nation.com/free_o…..r_training
- Bruce Lee also used a ton of tempo based lifting and static contractions. Picture shows him actually doing static contraction training.[Image Can Not Be Found]
- In the article notice the rep count really isn't that high. Martin Rooney is a force in the training world and has a specialty with mma and martial arts clients. Little bit of counter thoughts.
From the article……… Pick a goal, own it, and become it.
So enough myths, how about some tips? Here are some tips for aspiring MMA fighters and regular guys trying to look like an ass-kicking man:
• Schedule recovery first. Recovery is priority number one. Always build your schedule around it, not training.
• Clean up the diet. Everyone thinks they eat better than they really do. Peri-workout nutrition is top priority.
• Get 8 hours of sleep a night. Humans are the only species that get up when they aren't supposed to and go to bed when they aren't supposed to. You can't perform if you're tired.
• Drink a gallon of water a day. You hear this a hundred times a day, but how many actually do it? Double your water intake and you'll feel better, perform better, and get leaner.
• Add strength training into the program. Circuit training is useless if you're weak. You must develop strength first.
• Sprint three to four days a week. Sprints not only lean you out, they build significant hamstring mass and power. Plus, look at sprinters — who wouldn't want to look like those guys?
• Fit circuits in only around the other MMA training. With circuits, a little goes a long way. As the technical demands of MMA training go up, things like circuits need to be scaled back.
The Heavy Stuff — Weight training exercises every MMA fighter and average dude should be doing and why.
• Deadlifts: "These could be the best exercise going, and definitely the most misunderstood. For fighters and weekend warriors alike, it's extremely functional. What's more functional than picking up a heavy object — like a gassed opponent?"
• Single-arm farmer's walks: "Most sports are unilateral. This exercise transfers well to the kicks and takedowns exhibited in MMA."
• One-arm dumbbell row: "Vertical pulls like chin-ups are important, but for MMA, the horizontal pull is crucial. You need to pull your opponent towards you to control him."
• Floor press: "This is an exercise that's crucial for MMA. If you're on your back, you need good pushing power to get an opponent off you and pass guard."
• Jump squats: "Great exercise for developing lower body power. Sets of six reps are ideal."
• Hamstring curl or glute-ham raise: "To control an opponent, you have to be able to recruit the hamstring by flexing at the knee. Hip extension movements like deadlift variations are not sufficient."
• Sit ups: "Trading spinal flexion for anti-rotation and plank variations is the trendy thing to do, but most submissions in MMA require some degree of spinal flexion. It's a mistake for fighters to leave them out completely."
• Neck harness: "The neck is the pillar of the body, but nobody trains the neck at all these days. The top guys all have extremely strong necks; to compete with the big boys, neck training is essential."
