This Weekend's UFC - Couture/Coleman

Got another UFC this weekend - and this weekend's main event is a "doozy"...esp if you're a long-time MMA fan like myself.

Mark Coleman vs. Randy Couture

Now both of these guys are legends in the sport of MMA. Both are former multi-time champs - Randy in the UFC as a LHW and a HW, Mark as HW UFC Champ and the Pride 2000 GP Champ.

Both are a little older, hopefully a little wiser, and have a little less hair...but both are still awesome fighters..

Now call me crazy, but I think it's kinda badass that two guys in their 40s are not only big enough names to main-event a UFC, but are still good enough that people wanna see them as a main event.

Here's the question though - how are these two guys, at an age where you're supposed to slow down, start "taking it easy", and take up golf, still kicking ass, taking names, and showing 20-somethings what being a 'real man' is all about?

There are several reasons, but there is one main thing that these two guys have in common:

Both have always taken their workouts, fitness, diets, and supplementation very seriously.

I remember seeing Mark Coleman being used as a "poster boy" for a certain supplement warehouse's catalog back in in the late '90s...when he was UFC HW champ. And Randy
brought "greens" supplements to the forefront in certain circles the first time he dropped down to 205.

And although they take vastly different approaches to working out, both have taken their training very seriously over the years and dedicated themselves to staying in shape. If they hadn't, there is no way either could still be competing at such a high level now at their age.

So how is their training so different?

Well, Randy is well-known for using complexes and plyometrics in his workouts. Coleman, on the other hand, has been more known for almost old-school bodybuilding type training (though he's switched up some from what I've seen) - hard and heavy lifting.

And, in a way, it shows - Randy has always been known for being in great shape and having great conditioning, but not really being that strong.

"The Hammer", on the other hand, was always been known for being super strong, but having a suspect gas tank.

Call me crazy, but you'd think that it'd make sense to kinda mix the two, right? Hard and heavy lifting to be strong, and complexes for conditioning.

Makes sense to me, anyway.

Of course, that is *exactly* how I designed "Program #1" in Working Class Fitness - The Programs...basic compound movements on a particular progression combined with weight-based conditioning and complex training. Kinda the "best of both worlds"...ya know?

And thousands of people all over the world have used "Program #1" to get stronger, faster, and in better shape...with some pretty badass results...

...just sayin'. ;-)
