Build a bigger gas tank and ratchet up your strength with this three-pronged attack By Isaiah Truyman UFC Magazine
Hitting your local gym over and over for half an hour of lifting followed up with 20 minutes of cardio is a total waste of your time. To elicit a response in the form of increased strength or endurance you need to introduce new stressors. The workout in the following pages puts featherweight contender Cub Swanson through three distinct phases of programming tailored to increase the performance of a mixed martial artist. The movements, however, will benefit you as well. The key elements are a dynamic warm-up that primes the body, a series of movements designed for energy system development, followed by strength training employing some of the same movements Swanson uses in the Octagon.
