Is that where you bounce around on the sidewalls of old truck tires??

I'm not really sure where I was going with that after re-reading it. I mean, tire flips and using a sledge to beat on a tire come to mind. But let's remember that there are some possible puns. :jerkit2yf

^ I saw some guys shadow boxing on the tires somewhere and it seemed to make sense.

I fail at puns.

Now that I think about it, I saw a guy doing that last night.

I dunno about technique and strategy. I just lift 'dem weights and everything works out all right.

I got hold of the video for workout #1. It's played out in real time (just over an hour) with John Hackleman and five randoms (including a couple of ladies) doing all the exercises. Quite amusing to see their fresh happy faces deteriorate into a look of haunted despair as the vid progresses...

Slowly pull arms back as far as possible keeping elbows chest high. Suggested repetitions: 8 – 10.

So basicly everytime Chuck Lidell knocks somone out he runs around the octagon doing a chainbreaker?

That doesnt seem to unreasonable. I personally prefer:

(Which was recommended to me by somebody on this site and I absolutely love it.)

I would probably do this routine for getting ready for a fight. It isn't balanced enough for a general routine (a lot of chest, no back) but it makes sense if you are getting ready for a fight and need to develop muscular endurance in those particular body parts as well as anaerobic endurance.

Good find, thanks for posting

its supposed to be a 30 second break this is just the pit workout

Is a UFC workout like UFC brand water? The same as everything else but it sells for more?
