Any videos of Aerobic and Anarobic training some with videos about the many ways you can train those would be great

What is your opinion on the rios twins. They say machine exercises are just trash when it comes to improving athleticism, not like that I do any machine work. I am just curious to know. What is your opinion on burpees for conditioning. Btw nice video, you're really underrated. Is just doing weighted ab rollouts enough for the abs excluding the obliques( I do separated work for them).

Nice workout template. Thanks!

Very nice compilation. Have to implement BSS and loaded jumps

This is a great channel and has been helping me to structure my MMA/S&C as I find it an easy topic to overthink. I know there's no 'Optimal' way to train but what are your thoughts on the following: I'm currently going to try 2 full body days (using ideas from your videos) with 1 optional day to hit accessory movements for injury prevention/hypertrophy etc depending on fatigue. I was doing a 4 day upper/lower but it can be quite taxing doing this with 2 hours of MMA on top of it and take the focus away from fighting/conditioning. I've also seen you tend to prefer the 2 day full body approach for fighters.

what about this: warm up plyo exercises ( Jumps) db high pull barbell squat ( any variation) barbell rdl vertical pull or horizontal pull vertical push or horizontal push rotation carry

great info as always

I LOVE BIKE SPRINTS WITH HIGH RESISTANCE...GOT UP TO FIVE MINUTES NOW

I hate zone 2 cardio, so boring What i do nowadays is modification of 4x4 norwegian interval training I do 5 min ON, 3 min OFF on airbike, but instead of steady state, i do 5 seconds sprint, 10 seconds coasting. This allows me to stay at 95% HRM. The best thing using air bike is how easy i can adjust the resting time. On the second round, i can't maintain 1:2 work rest ratio, so i just increase rest time to 1:3 just by adding 5 seconds of coasting Air bike also trains overcoming inertia, very useful in basketball because of lots of acceleration I don't get out of gassed anymore when playing basketball. My goal is 4 rounds of 5 min on, 3 min off. Currently only doing 2 rounds, but i already gained tremendous improvement on my cardio

Can you react to Leon Edwards strength and conditioning specifically the video where Martin rios reacted to it, nice vid btw

You got some great gym toys.

Took me few secs to catch the sarcasm

show us how many 5 minute rounds you can do on the punching bag, and how far you can go in a marathon pleasret man thedse are endurance sports

Just a quick question about your gains...You mentioned that you didn't do ANY other training except the flywheel squats (one session for speed and one for strength). If that is correct, then.... Could it be that you saw such good gains, because you got rid of lingering fatigue that you accumulated in the weeks prior? Or worded differently.... Did the reduction in your training volume lead to those gains?

great video. would love to see a vid on hang power cleans, and in general on contrast / complex training

What are your take on barefoot lifting for fighters normally fighting barefooted? Seems like someone like Phil Daru is an advocate for it, and i can see, on the surface at least, it makes some sense.

How would you program rest of the week for him? (Roughly as we ofc dont know what he is working on)

yeah dont know about him, hes tall and skinny so he has good cardio, and hes not very strong either youd probably wanna steal cain valasquezs training plan someone who was strong and fit.

assualt bikes even better

It’s ATP hydrolysis that causes metabolic acidosis / lactate build up

Sick video.

Thorough research and great points JDL!

criminally underrated channel

Great podcast, what's your thoughts on the different adaptations brought on centrally by zone 2 though? Such as the eccentric hypertrophy of the heart. Would the shorter intervals not give you enough time to get them adaptations as the heart will be pumping at much higher heart rates. I'm always intrigued how old school boxing and Thai style training regimes still bring on huge levels of fitness despite no specific intervals per say.

The Supercat vertical jump machine and the accelerating isokinetics machine aka the pro kangaroo jumper machine is undefeated.. builds power and explosiveness.

Would be nice if you could put the research paper links in either a comment or show notes

really good video its good you made one on cardio thank you for the information

Wow James! Outstanding episode! Thank you for sharing all the salient info you delineated. It is much appreciated. Hope you and your family are doing well.

Floor press is better for mma incase your on the floor in the octagon. It’s more sport specific. I’m guessing they’re near the end of the phase of training before a fight.

Love the research in this. Good stuff

Could you do a video on periodization for mma s&c?

Could you do a breakdown of Alex Pereira's training hes got a lotbof different videos of training could you watch a few pull clips of him training punching power and strength and conditioning and break it down please and thank you I'm studying Jiri Prochazka, Jon Jones, and Alex Pereira's training styles so I can incorporate it into my gym training I'm 6'3 215 pounds and I'm of similar builds to these guys it helps

What do you think about doing the rotation 2/3 or 3/4 instead of half so you mimic punching through the target?

can i do warm up sets with actual landmines for a more explosive movement???

What's the purpose of kneeling for that Landmine press? As in, what does it activate/deactivate?

Great video

How many weeks would you spend in each stage? And would you try to end on stage 3 when peaking for a fight?

Can you react to Leon Edwards strength and conditioning routine

Great video. Thank you for the advice

I thought about doing the towel barbell thing but with 2 pinch blocks and chains

Do you think 60kg on shoulder press for 20 reps is good?

Like the vids im subbing but surely you talk more about heart rates, v02 maxes, and how long it takes for a muscle to buildup lactix acid mate

Why are you talking about weight and not lactic acid resistence and v02 maxes qre you mental mate

Just as a note, I wear a small towel on my head then place the harness over that, covering my ears as well and I get a smooth friction through the exercise. THe chains glide over the towel and my ears.

What caption?

the cult like mentality of fictional patterns trainees is absolutely insane and ridiculous

I'm bot sure if you already have a video on this since I'm a fairly new fan but I was wondering if you had a video on leg workouts for mma fighters to develop power and endurance? (Btw i absolutely love the science and research behind each of your videos)
