It totally blasts you, and yes I will initially effect your performance on the mat. I would suggest doing it after jiu-jitsu class and get plenty of water and rest.

Insanity ftw

A workout program is only as good as its ability to meet your goals. A supremely constructed bodybuilding routine is useless to a fighter as much as the other way around. It really all comes down to your goals. Do you want to improve your cardio, hypertrophy, strength, power, metabolic power, body composition or flexibility? Now ideally we would like to improve all of them within the same workout cycle. But the more variables you try to control the more complicated the program becomes and eventually you experience diminishing returns no matter the amount effort you put in.

So my suggestion is to determine where your physical game is weakest and let me know. We can talk more about an effective program then. Good luck, and if you have anymore questions just message me.

Anchor ropes, kettlebells, tractor tyres and shit loads of body weight exercises. We do a lot of circuit training 10-12 stations 1 minute each with 30 sec rest in between down to 10 sec rest while getting someone ready for a fight. Seems to work real good so far! One of our guy fought that dude who runs his own strength and conditioning club the dude was gassing out start of the second round, my boy kept on cruising the entire fight.
Train hard but train smart. Beach muscles get you so far!

Hey John, how long were the rounds in the fight and how many were there?

3 x 3 min rounds with a 4th round if there's a draw. 1 min rest in between rounds

Okay, yea you did an awesome job training your fighter. I bet the strength coach was all muscle too right?

My boy's opponent? The dude was fucking huge compared to him!

Congrats man, see how it works but must people outside of the community don't really understand how to prepare for a fight. It's more about endurance than it is power. Fighting is hard work, and when you fight for essentially 9 minutes straight you are really pushing yourself to the limits. 1 minute is not enough time to recover if you are using you creatine/phosphate energy system. So essentially mr beast was working continuously and far harder than where your boy probably never even made it past his aerobic capacity, because his training was for a longer period than the actual fight was. Again, good job John.
