The answer is blunt - damn straight.There's a couple reasons for this. First, because my workout programs are kick-ass. (Hey - I've had enough people tell me! ;-) Second, because while the programs I design *are* kick-ass, they are designed for "general" strength & conditioning goals - not specific ones.
S&C training is really just what's called GPP - General Physical Preparedness. In other words, how "ready" are you physically? How strong are you? How fast are you? How is your endurance? What about your agility? What about your work capacity? (And the list could go on.)
There is nothing about GPP that makes it specific to MMA. That's why it's called "general".
Think of it this way - say you're trying to build a building that is very tall. GPP is part of that foundation. The higher you build that foundation, the taller your building can be. Well, the better your GPP, the better it can make your MMA.
We've all heard the debates of "strength vs. technique." The whole idea that it has to be one or the other is stupid. Why not have BOTH?
Say you're rolling with a your physically average dude, and it's his first day training. He's nothing extraordinary, and isn't a natural athlete. In other words, his technique sucks, and he's not in great shape. You're likely not gonna have any trouble tapping him.
Instead, let's say you're rolling with multi-time World's Strongest Man, Mariusz Pudzianowski. Do you think you're going to go right in and armbar him? Nope. The guy is just too damn strong. Now, can you roll with him enough so that he gasses and let's you sink in an armbar? Sure. But even then, with how strong Pudz is, your technique better be up to snuff to tap a dude that big and strong.
Now, let's say that you could magically make yourself 3x as strong as you are now. Everything else (technique, conditioning, etc.) all stays the same. Think you'd have an easier time tapping Pudz? Sure - your technique now has 3x as much strength to put behind it.
Remember here - we're not talking any kind of specifics here. We're talking about just getting you into overall better shape.
Say you can put 50 lbs. on your squat. This will make your legs stronger, and likely more powerful. This takes your relative strength and power (remember relative strength from the last email?), and increases it, which should mean you can move your body quicker. This might not instantly mean quicker takedowns, but with a little drilling, your shots should be faster than ever.
Apply that same principle across the board, and you've got yourself in a much better position for MMA success.
And that's what the "Working Class MMA Workout Program" can do. It was specifically designed to get you stronger, more powerful, and shoot your conditioning through the roof, so that when you're preparing for your next fight, that your gas tank will never be an issue. And your skills are just that much more devastating.
Because who can't use more powerful strikes, quicker takedowns, more wind, and better ground control? The "Working Class MMA Workout Program" can help you get there. And if you CLICK HERE, you can save 40% on it.
The deal might not be around forever, though, so you might wanna get to steppin'...
