Randy Couture Workout for MMA Conditioning

Randy Couture Conditioning Workout for MMA


Check this crazy little workout out:

Do the Randy Couture workout if you’ve got a barbell and you want to get into fighting shape or even if you are a weekend MMA warrior. Although you don't need to be a MMA figher, as this will greatly improve anyone's conditioning.

I’d start with the 45lb empty bar and work up. That way you won’t fall into the toilet the next day.
Do all of this MMA conditioning workout without letting go of the bar:

Bent rows x8
Upright rows x8
Military press x8
Good morning x8
Lunges x8 (each leg)
Squat push press x8
Deadlift x8

1 minute’s rest. Do 3-5 sets depending on how much you feel like puking. This’ll build up good grappling muscle and definatley help your cardio. If you’re confused about any of the exercises, just watch the actual video of Randy performing this same workout.

And to think some say he is past his prime!

If the weight you pick for the circuit is too light though, you won't get anything out of this workout. You have to push it HARD!

Conditioning is obviously huge in a MMA fight. You can supplement this workout with some of your other cardio/endurance routines. Give it a try!
