If you're an average dude who's trying to transform into a ripped MMA fighter - or at least have the appearance of a lean and athletic MMA fighter, I've got some workouts tips to help speed up your transformation.
Start out by making a workout program that enhances your athletic ability, explosiveness, cardiovascular endurance, power and mobility.
The MMA fighter look is one that requires a lot more than they typical workout plan most people follow. Because these exceptional athletes are training to perform at their absolute best inside the cage, a more dynamic workout plan is required.
In the end, their MMA workouts provide them with the abilities to excel in their sport, but a sweet side benefit is the killer lean and ripped body they tend to have.
If you think about it, the majority of people are not following workouts that are anywhere near as well-rounded, intense, demanding or functional, as compared to the standard MMA fighter.
You may think this isn't a huge deal since the average guy has no desire to be an MMA fighter, but rather just wants to look like one. The problem is that you have to train like an MMA fighter if you seek to gain the body they have.
Now does it make sense? You need to learn from these MMA stars and pick up strategies that will help you reach the fitness goals you have.
To get a standout body like an MMA fighter that's ripped up and has sculpted abs, be sure to follow these tips...
MMA Workout Tip #1:
Start training in intervals, regardless of whether you're doing cardio, weights, circuit training, plyometrics, etc. Interval work allows you to reach an effort level that is basically beyond your means and this forces your body to work extra hard post-workout to bring your body back to it's normal state.
The result is major fat-burning and more lean muscle gains while you're at rest. Start out with attainable intervals, such as 1-minute at 90% effort, followed by 2-minutes at a 50% recovery pace. Then work your way up as the weeks progress.
MMA Workout Tip #2:
Make the weak strong. In essence, you need to examine the muscle groups or areas of fitness where you're furthest behind. Everyone has underdeveloped muscle groups, muscle imbalances, posture troubles or some other aspect that is lagging behind other areas.
Focus your MMA workouts around these "weak links" and you'll really start to notice some body composition changes immediately. The same thing goes for exercises or types of workouts that you generally avoid - suck it up and do everything necessary to get a ripped body, even the exercises that hurt the most.
MMA Workout Tip #3:
Work on improving the most important muscle that's never seen or discussed - your heart. MMA fighters have a lot of heart and there's no substitute for a burning desire to excel, no matter how bad it hurts, how many excuses you have or steep the uphill climb.
Without a lot of heart and desire, even the best MMA workout in the world would not produce dramatic results. However, with the proper mindset and the heart of a champion, nearly any goal can be achieved.
As an international fat loss coach and lean body specialist, I've helped thousands of clients from across the globe to incorporate these same MMA-inspired tips into their workouts and lifestyle.
The results speak for themselves - rapid shedding of formerly stubborn body blubber, sculpting and shaping of lean muscle mass and newly transformed, totally ripped physiques that emulate total confidence - that's what the proper mindset and ideal workout regimen will give to you.
