  • New Exercise for Rotational Hip Power

    New Exercise for Rotational Hip Power

    I have not seen this exercise before and came up with it because I’m more and more on a quest to find new techniques to train movements and muscles in the transverse (rotational plane) because these muscles are so underworked with regular Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Presses and Lunges and because they’re so critical to joint stability and athletic performance.

    As you’ll see in the video, this exercise will help if you:

    • Are a martial artist and want more powerful punches
    • Play hockey and want to skate faster
    • Golf and want to hit the ball further
    • Play baseball and want to hit more home runs
    • Participate in any sport where agility and rapidly changing directions is important (soccer, football, basketball, etc)

    Sound good?

    That’s because it is.

    WARNING: the 1-Leg 90 Degree Jump is not for beginners, but even if you’d consider yourself one now, stick with me and follow my programs for 3-6 months and you’ll improve your fitness more than you ever have before in the same amount of time.

    Peep the exercise here and make sure you pay close attention to proper form because TECHNIQUE is everything. And let me know what you think in the Comments after you check it and try it:

  • “Power Pairs” – Build Power + Conditioning [A+A]

    “Power Pairs” – Build Power + Conditioning [A+A]

    In this workout, we go through the Power Pairs workout that is a part of the CAGE Cardio Bodyweight Fight deck.

    This workout will train your Alactic and Aerobic energy systems.

    One of the side benefits of A+A workouts is that they don’t overtax your muscular or nervous systems, allowing you more energy for your other workouts, whether it’s your strength workouts or MMA or martial arts training sessions.

    Maintaining proper form is especially important when you’re fatigued as that’s when your nervous system is most receptive to engraining movement patterns.

  • 2 *Weird* Bodyweight Exercises

    Bodyweight exercises are a staple in MMA workouts.

    I’m sure you’ve done your fair share of pushups, situps, chinups, squats etc… I know I have!

    But we often get stuck doing these same exercises over and over and over, often because our instructors don’t know any better!

    There are these 2 old kickboxing instructors at the club I train at and no word of a lie, these guys do the exact same warmup routine, which lasts about 25 minutes, EVERY CLASS.

    And these guys have been teaching since at least the early 90’s!

    That’s why when I first met my buddy Adam Steer and we started talking shop and he showed me a few new exercises, I was like a kid in a candy store.

    They made my body move like only happens by accident when you’re rolling and you have to scramble out of some awkward position.

    There’s no doubt that these exercises will improve your MMA game.

    Find out why by watching the video and then giving them a shot:

    Bodyweight training is also great because you can do the exercises anywhere, any time.

    That’s why it worked out perfectly for my vacation in Costa Rica, which is where all of the new bodyweight exercises I learned were filmed.

    I also filmed an absolutely KILLER circuit that I call the 10×10 MMA Bodyweight Circuit, details to come…

    Now I’ve got 4 more of these unique bodyweight exercises for you that are perfect for mixed martial artists, but if you want to see my go-to resource for new bodyweight exercises, check out the TACFIT Commando program, created by my friend Adam’s coach, Scott Sonnon

    => TACFIT Commando Program

    There are over 50 new bodyweight exercises just like these (and weirder) that will really improve your co-ordination, mobility and strength.

    Check it out and I’ll be back soon with more.
