Combat Conditioning
The popular term "Combat Conditioning" was first coined by guru Matt Furey to describe his intense fitness regime for wrestlers and other martial artists using body weight and calisthenics instead of free weights to achieve greater muscle endurance. This isn't that. I'm a strong believer in free-weights to develop the kind of strength & explosive power you need to be competitive in the cage. Expect squats, deadlifts, cleans, presses, kettlebells, plyometrics, circuits, and sprints.
If a picture is worth anything- I used to look like a skeleton. I was 6'1" tall and only 98 lbs at the age of 18. Even after putting on 60 pounds, completing a Health & Human Performance degree, and starting my professional kickboxing career I wasn't in this kind of shape. Not even close. My coach, Shane Brenner introduced me to Olympic lifts as well as the work of the respective fitness gurus Matt Furey, John E. Peterson, and Pavel Tsatsouline. When I say "work", I'm talking about actual hard work, not just books and papers. The result was me transforming from an average weakling into a fighter.
It's a simple strength & conditioning program to develop functional muscle, power, strength, agility, flexibility, and endurance.
