Frank looked great, he didn't look like a puffed up body builder, he looked like a guy who lifts heavy things and has the actual functional muscle rather than being ripped, I think it was a good experiment for him, he has always been a mid-sized heavyweight, he never had the speed/cardio that smaller HWs like Cain V who fights at a relentless pace have, so I think its better to move up for him rather than down.
I do not like mir when he thrash talk about other fighters, but what i like about him is that he is always seeking improvements in his game.. he's going to be great..
Awesome vid Frank looks amazing....I got a couple questions 1) Does anyone know where I could get strength and conditioning training like this in CA and 2) Where can i get the body shield Franks hitting @1:34?? Thank you very much in advance!!!
@FudgeTunneler Thanks for the tips brotha.....im an amateur boxer in CA i was wondering if you had any conditioning tips for that or if you know anyone who could help in CA. Thank you so much.
@specialforces69: I apologize with my harsh sounding reply earlier- yes there's very few people that can bench/ squat/ dead heavy numbers- in fact it's not often MMA fighters do strength training. And with Mir he admitted to more of a bodybuilder type routine (sarcoplasmic hypertrophy) rather than Strength(myofibriller hypertophy). It would be my opinion most fighters that DO lift do BB without really knowing the difference.
@specialforces69; well Mir said he's never really strength trained and only expirimented with BB style. He joined with Mark Phillipi (ex-Strongman). Regarding what excercises... wow that's a big one. Lemme PM all that's possible when I get a list compiled
Its fully possible to ad that weight in that time if you are on a bodybuilding schedule of Lift-eat,sleep,eat,sleep,eat. But not if your doing the kind of cardio and conditioning work that is required in elite level marital arts. Thats why I belive he must have used some form of performance enhancer. I dont have a problem with it, but I belive he did.
I respect both Brock and Frank exactly the same because they are training hard and fighting tough competition. I think Mir will beat Carwin in the 2nd round by TKO. (Or a kimura). Brock I hope you recover as soon as possible! We need you fighting fit!
Where do you see a 220 kg deadlift ? What I see is two red , a blue and a yellow = 25+25+20+15=85kg times two = 170+ 20 kg bar = 190 kg deadlift ... Nice overhand grip though
naturally Frank has one of the biggest frames, he has never been a "mid sized heavyweight" even with a complete lack of weights the guy is a tank, id say other than brock he is naturally prediposed to being the biggest heavyweight
wait so after UFC 100 which was on July, he gained 20-25 pounds of muscle from powerlifting for UFC 107 which is on December, unless if he ate a lot to gain fat or has good genetics, how did he gain that much muscle in a few months?
Mir will never compare to Brock in the strength area. As soon as Brock smothers Mir down and stay on top of him and controls him and starts raining bombs, It's TKO!!! rep stoppage. Brock will be even madder now since Mir commented on wanting to break his neck and make him the first to die in the octagon. What a way to pissed Brock off. Brock is someone you don't wanna piss off. I will enjoy watching Brock give Mir another major beatdown.
Nope. That's called the 'Atkins Diet'.. but that's not what he was doing. He was just eating foods that he would normally eat. He read the China study and switched to vegan a month before he fought Shane Carwin. Then he read Robb Wolf's book about 'Paleo Diet' like months and months before he fought Roy Nelson... then that's when he switched to Paleo. From what I read and heard from Mike Dolce and Robb Wolf, It's not good for a Heavyweight to be a Vegan, it's the plecibo effect that's working
I love how Brock Fans accuse Frank Mir of steroids lmao. Frank Mir was jacked before. For his fight at UFC 100 he focused heavily on cardio thats why he was 245 usually his fightin weight is 255 and his off season weight is obviously gonna be more.
specialforces69: Think critically here- the world record is 715lbs @ 314 bodyweight; the number of actual, proven RAW benchers of 600-605 bls in PL is only 15 people. Fedor is -not- in that camp.
@HASSDICH62 Indeed. He made Kongo his bitch, and if he would have been smart with shane carwin he would have done the same to him. Mir is a beast, and thats the way the cookie crumbles'
brock has no idea. I haven't seen the physical strength change that mir went through from brock to kongo in a long time throughout the ufc. Is it me or did frank look gigantic for the cheik fight
but u too made a mistake the guys comment wasnt deadlifting it was benching...so probably non of us read the comments well...lol the guy was right he benched 220 and ur right he deadlifted 10...but everyone is talking about a dffrent thing
That is what differentiates him from a guy like Kongo when he finds a weakness in his game he'll correct it. It doesn't even look like Kongo is worried at all about Mir's jiujitsu and that will be his downfall in my opinion. If all he's thinking about is smashing Mir's face on the stand up then its game over for Kongo he gets taken down what's next? Mir will submit him. Mir is training his stand up and it will improve drastically he's not working on his ground game because he doesn't need to.
nah lesnars not fat, its that he used to be 40 lbs heavyer in his wwe days, hes had to cut a lot of weight to become an mma fighter which has left him with stretched saggy skin from when it was expanded with big muscles in his wwe days, his weight cut leaves his with loose skin. hes very lean and hardly has any fat on him.
I have no doubt that Frank Mir could kick my ass but the training he's doing is more like that of an NFL linebacker. As a fighter I agree you want to make sure you're strong but there has to be a balance. Getting too big and bulky for your frame is only going to be a hindrance. Mir would do better to focus more on cardio and cut down to light heavy which seems like it would be a more natural weight class for him.
I would agree with you if they'd specified the composition of that 25lb; you'll probably find at least half of that would be fat, that being said I don't think there's any denying that Frank Mir has used steroids at some point to be the size he is on a vegan diet.
something tht is rele getting me here tht no one seems 2 get being bigger does not mean tht u will gas out super quick or tht u r slow. fighting like a moron on the other hand will
LEsnar is sick not able to train! The illness make brock not competive, imo it will take much time for brock to get back in shape after he recovered. Think at mir's bike incident. He need to recover more than a year. It's a pity but we have to wait for Lesnar vs Mir III otherwise it will be a dissapionting match because Lesnar has an unfair handycap.
Who cares how much weight he can lift.. Its the weightgain that gives evens out the matchup. The heavier the puncher, the harder the hits. Lifting heavy weights isnt the same as punching a hole thru someones head.
@nishiftw noo not steroids. remember, training is there life. there in there 5 times a week busting their ass. food is the key. taking in the amount of calories needed. lol remember this isnt , lets hit the gym 2 hours every second day and take protien shakes. its the real deal.
Mir's comments about wanting to kill Brock was VERY out of line. I don't know why he would even say that silly shit. WHY?! Why didn't he just stick to training his balls off and focusing on a rematch and using his hate/anger towards Brock as motivation to get revenge instead of blabbing about how he wants Brock dead to the public. Let your talent do the talking Mir what the fuck! I have a feeling Mir's main focus is on Brock and not on Shane Carwin. He needs to be careful, Carwin is dangerous.
no way mir can bench 190 kg...regardless of what ur conversation is people just what u wrote isnt logic....dont know how u did the math....but if u ever parcticed bodybuilding ir weight lifting...u d know what 190 kg means ...few people can bench that u must be doing this ur whole life to handle 190 kg
The fastest 40 meter sprinters are sprinters. The fastest 20 meter sprinters are olympic weightlifters. Most good powerlifters are not made to run. Guys dominating the lower weight classes like Shawn Frankl and Mike Cartinian are too short. Guys dominating the higher weight classes like Chuck Fought and Scott Cartright are too big.
@xXPAINTRAINXx. sir if you look at all the brock vs mir fights, brock has dominated all fights but made a stupid mistake in their first fight and got submitted. it's stupid when mir trains for bulk and strength when he should train on advanced takedown-defense or techniques. he will NEVER be as strong as lesnar. i see a repeat beatdown of mir face into chorizo in their 3rd fight. lesnar is too good controlling fighters on the ground as he rain punches on their face until Herb Dean stops fight.
If you know anything about weight training you would know that you don't put on 20-25 lbs off muscle in 6 months while doing relentles cardio and fighting with only a "high protein diet". If you are willing to belive that then you can make the case that no athlehe ever used any preformance enhancers ever. I don't know how I am supposed to prove to you that Brock is just as if not more defined that Mir if you cant see it by looking at them.
Mir can forget bout fighting Brock now. He just got KTFO by Shane. Destroyed! Ref had to save him. LOL It looks like all his bulking up and added strength didn't do shiet. What happened? Mir talks a lot of shiet but can't back it up. He looked better fighting Noguiegra and Congo?
Respect to this guy, anyone that has the time, mental attitude and motivation to workout this bad deserve the life style they have.
Frank looked great, he didn't look like a puffed up body builder, he looked like a guy who lifts heavy things and has the actual functional muscle rather than being ripped, I think it was a good experiment for him, he has always been a mid-sized heavyweight, he never had the speed/cardio that smaller HWs like Cain V who fights at a relentless pace have, so I think its better to move up for him rather than down.

"Jack of Hearts" by Mastodon
the video was from ufc countdown 107
He was not a Vegan before UFC 107.. he switched to vegan a month before he fought Shane Carwin.
1:14 Da fuq are those? Looks like small car axils. Heavy as fuck though. Great job Frank.
frank mir is stil a bad man, much respect bro!
hey david mir did not get his ass kicked at ufc 107 he made Kongo tapout
@specialforces69; well Mir said he's never really strength trained and only expirimented with BB style. He joined with Mark Phillipi (ex-Strongman). Regarding what excercises... wow that's a big one. Lemme PM all that's possible when I get a list compiled
Frank mir is the greatest to ever fight. He's the best.
I agree 100%, and I'm a huge Frank Mir's Fan!....good one :P
damn Mir looks like a beast! he's scary when he was still at 235 - 240. he's a helluva lot scarier now at 264.5!
Big giant strong guy...naturally strong also....
where is the rest of the documentary?
Its fully possible to ad that weight in that time if you are on a bodybuilding schedule of Lift-eat,sleep,eat,sleep,eat. But not if your doing the kind of cardio and conditioning work that is required in elite level marital arts. Thats why I belive he must have used some form of performance enhancer. I dont have a problem with it, but I belive he did.
does anyone knows where the uncut film can be found?
What is the name of the song at the start (the rock song)????
whats the song at the start??????????
@DSheehan85 Got you and I'm 100% committed to it......and the sites ive checked out so far havent had em but ill keep looking THANKS FRIEND!
did mark philippi say you cant or can lift nice looking chrome weights and get the same effect? at 1:00
I respect both Brock and Frank exactly the same because they are training hard and fighting tough competition. I think Mir will beat Carwin in the 2nd round by TKO. (Or a kimura).
Brock I hope you recover as soon as possible! We need you fighting fit!
Where do you see a 220 kg deadlift ?
What I see is two red , a blue and a yellow =
25+25+20+15=85kg times two = 170+ 20 kg bar =
190 kg deadlift ...
Nice overhand grip though
@vbm2011 He says can but based on what he says after he means can't.
naturally Frank has one of the biggest frames, he has never been a "mid sized heavyweight" even with a complete lack of weights the guy is a tank, id say other than brock he is naturally prediposed to being the biggest heavyweight
Mir has always been big n strong so it wont be hard for him to put on extra proper size with the help of Mark Phillipi an ex strong man competitor
wait so after UFC 100 which was on July, he gained 20-25 pounds of muscle from powerlifting for UFC 107 which is on December, unless if he ate a lot to gain fat or has good genetics, how did he gain that much muscle in a few months?
its not a bad idead to pack on some mass, when you have lesnar and carwin in the HW division.
I thought so too.
Mir will never compare to Brock in the strength area. As soon as Brock smothers Mir down and stay on top of him and controls him and starts raining bombs, It's TKO!!! rep stoppage.
Brock will be even madder now since Mir commented on wanting to break his neck and make him the first to die in the octagon. What a way to pissed Brock off. Brock is someone you don't wanna piss off.
I will enjoy watching Brock give Mir another major beatdown.
Do us a favor, and please tell him that face to face. Please.
Nope. That's called the 'Atkins Diet'.. but that's not what he was doing. He was just eating foods that he would normally eat.

@FudgeTunneler bro.. i did exactly what you said more or less.. I'm now twenty pounds heavier in seven months.. thanks.. wherever you are.
20lbs of lard isn't a good thing.
I love how Brock Fans accuse Frank Mir of steroids lmao. Frank Mir was jacked before. For his fight at UFC 100 he focused heavily on cardio thats why he was 245 usually his fightin weight is 255 and his off season weight is obviously gonna be more.

@HASSDICH62 Indeed. He made Kongo his bitch, and if he would have been smart with shane carwin he would have done the same to him. Mir is a beast, and thats the way the cookie crumbles'
@lomeloft me too..i like frank
love that sound, 0:12 haha
Frank lost to Shane but i bet hes still in process and its ONLY BEG YEAAAH he's coming back stronger
@HASSDICH62 yeah ur right carwin didnt come close to stoppin mir....lol
brock has no idea. I haven't seen the physical strength change that mir went through from brock to kongo in a long time throughout the ufc. Is it me or did frank look gigantic for the cheik fight
but u too made a mistake the guys comment wasnt deadlifting it was benching...so probably non of us read the comments well...lol the guy was right he benched 220 and ur right he deadlifted 10...but everyone is talking about a dffrent thing
That is what differentiates him from a guy like Kongo when he finds a weakness in his game he'll correct it.

puase at 1:13
nah lesnars not fat, its that he used to be 40 lbs heavyer in his wwe days, hes had to cut a lot of weight to become an mma fighter which has left him with stretched saggy skin from when it was expanded with big muscles in his wwe days, his weight cut leaves his with loose skin. hes very lean and hardly has any fat on him.
he'll come back. Wanna see him fightin other strong big guys again
The Frank mir that enters the octogan in UFC 107 may look different than any Frank Mir we've seen before.. yea cause lesnar messed up his face LOL
@verano29 225 + chains you can hear them
I have no doubt that Frank Mir could kick my ass but the training he's doing is more like that of an NFL linebacker. As a fighter I agree you want to make sure you're strong but there has to be a balance. Getting too big and bulky for your frame is only going to be a hindrance. Mir would do better to focus more on cardio and cut down to light heavy which seems like it would be a more natural weight class for him.
He won't make 205..... he was super lean on ufc 100........ look it up he was ripped and lean and still heavy
+single733 Thats true. He was lean as was still around the 240 lb mark, no way he would make light heavyweight. He's just too big.
@vbm2011 He said cant i think bro
frank mir so hard
Lol: 0:49 "Let me put on a plate there, so you don't look like a sissy". "Thanks coach, you read my mind."
You know, people dissing these athletes are just a bunch of fanboys. WAR MIR!!
I would agree with you if they'd specified the composition of that 25lb; you'll probably find at least half of that would be fat, that being said I don't think there's any denying that Frank Mir has used steroids at some point to be the size he is on a vegan diet.
you better post a video of it after he beats kongo up. i want to see this or i am calling your ass out.
@jdr38381 look at his face
@baborikinm
Type Frank Mir interview UFC 107
its true lesnar do have a lil flab at the side i notice 2
Scary dude
Impossible, he'd hit the ground like a sack of shit before he finished telling him xD
something tht is rele getting me here tht no one seems 2 get being bigger does not mean tht u will gas out super quick or tht u r slow. fighting like a moron on the other hand will
@HASSDICH62 really
Frank Mir's training is child's play compared to Brock's caveman training. I see another beatdown on Frank Mir by Brock.
oh sorry ....lol thought u wrote bench 190 kg....ok its the deadlift u mean..
LEsnar is sick not able to train! The illness make brock not competive, imo it will take much time for brock to get back in shape after he recovered. Think at mir's bike incident. He need to recover more than a year. It's a pity but we have to wait for Lesnar vs Mir III otherwise it will be a dissapionting match because Lesnar has an unfair handycap.
how much was he deadlifting in the beginning?
Wc3ALifestyle alot
@lomeloft well i hope he doesn't get suspended from the UFC lol
Who cares how much weight he can lift..
Its the weightgain that gives evens out the matchup. The heavier the puncher, the harder the hits. Lifting heavy weights isnt the same as punching a hole thru someones head.
Mir is so good, but carwin and lesnar are in other leagues!
Frank would have killed Brock If they had a 3rd fight
wieso nimmt er beim bankdrücken nicht gewichte ...statt den ketten
@f9hunter
Who knows, Carwin may have been stronger.
2:08 this guy looks like he never stepped foot in a gym
comment below is truth, those who win use gear and not just in ufc in nearly all sports.
@nishiftw noo not steroids. remember, training is there life. there in there 5 times a week busting their ass. food is the key. taking in the amount of calories needed. lol remember this isnt , lets hit the gym 2 hours every second day and take protien shakes. its the real deal.
1:13 Constipation Sound
@neema125 Dam, this is so true
@nishiftw by working hard
damn he looks alot bigger!! maybe he;ll have a chance against brock nxt time lol
Next time never happened :(
@lomeloft never.....
Eh, he put on 25 lb in 4 months even though he'd been lifting for years... No way that is natural.
No offence i get you but no ones natural at this high level just appreciate the fact that one of the reasons why they do this is to entertain you
that's so unfair!! As everybody knows Brock is a 100% natural athlete!
He probably put on 5 - 10 pounds of muscle and the rest is just fat
Who gives two fucks. Natural this natural that. Who fuckin cares
Why dont you give me some insight in the knowledge you have that proves Mir never thouched preformance enhancers?
Mir's comments about wanting to kill Brock was VERY out of line. I don't know why he would even say that silly shit. WHY?! Why didn't he just stick to training his balls off and focusing on a rematch and using his hate/anger towards Brock as motivation to get revenge instead of blabbing about how he wants Brock dead to the public.

you have no clue about the muscle building power of strongman training and powerlifting bro
The fastest 40 meter sprinters are sprinters.
The fastest 20 meter sprinters are olympic weightlifters.
Most good powerlifters are not made to run. Guys dominating the lower weight classes like Shawn Frankl and Mike Cartinian are too short. Guys dominating the higher weight classes like Chuck Fought and Scott Cartright are too big.
@jjhollywood949 seriously? me 2. the first time i watched this i went and grabbed my bar and set my bench back up. haha
@HASSDICH62 thats why shane carwin killed him
@xXPAINTRAINXx. sir if you look at all the brock vs mir fights, brock has dominated all fights but made a stupid mistake in their first fight and got submitted.
it's stupid when mir trains for bulk and strength when he should train on advanced takedown-defense or techniques. he will NEVER be as strong as lesnar. i see a repeat beatdown of mir face into chorizo in their 3rd fight. lesnar is too good controlling fighters on the ground as he rain punches on their face until Herb Dean stops fight.
ru serious...lol ok i ll try to believe his joke....where did u see him do that is it on the youtube...show us any proof of what ur saying
If you know anything about weight training you would know that you don't put on 20-25 lbs off muscle in 6 months while doing relentles cardio and fighting with only a "high protein diet".

@scapolaris90 omg brock was SOOO hard on steroids being in wwe xD it was so lame xDD
all that muscle has made him slow ad gasses quickly too he has too much mass
Wow i wish i could get a hold of the steroids he's using. what a difference,
@nishiftw steroids usually help haha
Mir can forget bout fighting Brock now. He just got KTFO by Shane. Destroyed! Ref had to save him. LOL It looks like all his bulking up and added strength didn't do shiet. What happened? Mir talks a lot of shiet but can't back it up. He looked better fighting Noguiegra and Congo?
