    For calisthenics? I focus on form, full range of motion, speed, explosiveness, and my max/best effort every single time.
    For exercise equipment? I would go with maybe a weight vest, pull up bar, resistance bands, med ball, 25-50 lb kettlebells, 25-35 lb dumbbells, adjustable bar bell, throwing ball, chairs, walls, bench, hills, swimming pool, and so on for change in your workouts
    (watched video, definitely can get a neck brace like tyson too. very underrated)
    From there my favorite exercises are parallel
    This is just the work i like to do to stay in shape. What is really comes down to for up and coming fighters in my opinion? Commitment and daily sacrifice. Learning and putting in more work. Also you're not going to be a good fighter if you don't actually train technique and have a good attitude. Don't just improve your technique and body, improve every area in your life. Train your mind and be 1% better than yesterday. Cliché but it's the truth. Train the mind and the body will follow. A lot of times in the B and C leagues mma fighters aren't even in good shape. They're just fighting for something deeper like money and family and personal reasons. Fighting can be very spiritual for some guys. It's a ruthless game that requires a lot of leadership and intelligence traits. a lot of learning for fighters

    Hey Phil!
    I understand that back in your MMA days you fought at 155lbs and now you’re much more built bulked, how how long did it take you to make the big gains and and what are the main points for someone who is also around the 155 mark and trying to get bigger as well. I’m currently 157lbs at 5’6.5

    • @PhilDaruStrong
      @PhilDaruStrong  3 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      I used to walk around at 180lbs so I’m not too far off from where I was when I fought I currently sit at 202lbs I put on more muscle after I retired and did a full 2 years purely training for powerlifting and actually did a bodybuilding show as well. This took me higher in weight by using a caloric surplus diet and 6 days a week of strength and hypertrophy training. Now bringing my weight back down and doing more conditioning and strength power training my goal is to get down to 192 and get back to more fight specific training. My advise find your daily maintenance calories then slowly ramp that up each week along with training in higher volume but still at a relatively heavy weight 65-80% 1rm and work on global and regional exercises for main lift with isolated movements for lagging muscles.

      I think he means when someone comes to him for training if they can't already do the lift with proper form or it causes them pain he avoids will avoid those lifts.

    Does weight cutting affect strength to the point that it's better to walk into the cage 10lbs above the weight limit rather than 20lbs above the limit. So do some people come in heavier but because their muscles are drained (even if they're hydrated they're still not at 100%) they end up having the same level of strength as someone who walks in 10lbs lighter? And what would be the optimum amount of water weight to aim to cut 5% - 10%?
