Jeff 'Snowman' Monson weight training programme for MMA

[caliindica]

@you all talking shit...Your a bunch of bitches..Jeff would eat you shit talkers up then go fuck your moms.Pussies

[raprit]

use a kb for that snatch

[siaosiaochin]

I'd kick this redneck's ass

[rksimpson1990]

@BigJasonStud anytime u tear muscle fibers, aka lift weights, your bodies natural reaction is to produce more in order to compensate heavier or higher work loads. low reps and heavy weight usually creates fast twitch muscle fibers which is what causes that "explosiveness" atheletes look for. typically people use low weight and high reps to prevent lactic acid build up "that burning feeling when u do high reps" or to help muscular endurance since it creates slow twitch muscle fiber.

[TheGrizzzle]

dude needs to get rid of his pencil neck

[stevensinger699]

bruce willis on the juice

[BigJasonStud]

you cannot question his dedication or intensity,, although i was always taught,, low rep +high weight = more muscle gain,, low weight and high reps = strength gains,, and hes doing the opposite,, just wondering how its working out for him,, jeff your a monster,, good luck with ur future career =)

[LordSauceness]

And to think that a few decades ago, they would tell fighter (boxers), NOT to lift weights 'cause it would make you 'tight'. 

[yardape99]

I'd think he would want to be faster. I don't see anything resembling explosive with those movements.

[BigJasonStud]

@yardape99

he means to be explosive while hes throwing his opponant around,, not in a race of reflexes,, he means he wants to build his explosive strength,, and id challange you to lift those dumbells and pop up onto your toes like that,, did you listen to him,, hes trying to punch his feet threu the floor,,not l;ift with his arms,, its almost trying to pull off mind over matter,, =)

[aaronrose606]

dudes a monster, hes got a bullet hole in his head and is still working out

[poolboyinla]

I like how he says he doesn't want to get any bigger than he already is... I am not sure it would even be possible for him to get much bigger than he already is.

[pachin63]

I just want a neck like that...

[JUNKGEE83]

working out in a place that looks more like a meth lab than a gym. +1

[buddhabassist]

Did someone try to shoot him in the head, lol need a 50cal to take down a charging Monson, 9mm didn't work.

[Raywilliamjoseph]

That is NOT the wieght I wuld have grabbed....

[smagator]

he should expulse the air when he pulls

[waitarajason]

hey jeff what are some good masking agents for passing drug tests????

you fucking cheat......your bjj and mma wouldnt be shit without roids......you have no skill and your whole game is strength from the years of cycling roids gh etc..

[robbo11983]

@waitarajason id like to see you say it to his face

[irishstomp]

@robbo11983 Considering Monson has publicly admitted past steroid use and openly discussed it, I doubt he'd consider it all that offensive to be asked about what masking agents he has used to pass drug tests.

[Mddoelman]

Look at his neck. its like...as wide as his head...full of muscle too.

[IMnotSAS]

Jeff is already slow and sluggish

[deskducker]

Better get back in the gym.  Looked like crap at the last Strikeforce event.

[DieByMyHand1]

@deskducker I don't think he cares what he looks like as long as he makes the weight

[deskducker]

@DieByMyHand1 ; he looked like crap FIGHTING. Was dominated in the cage.

[FifteenIsTheNumber]

what's that dot in his forehead?

[doranw]

@FifteenIsTheNumber looks like staph

[FifteenIsTheNumber]

he don't wanna look sluggish?

[poganla123]

@FifteenIsTheNumber dont wana be sluggish

[TheRemomc]

Le han dado con una bala en la cabeza y no se a muerto xD-We have come up with a bullet in the head and not a dead xD

[fidjibajs1]

lmao look at his head, its from the first excersise he got cut lol!

[xprettyricky23x]

@fidjibajs1 lmaooooo.. its not tho, rewatch the video. would be funny if it was thoo

[xprettyricky23x]

@fidjibajs1 lmaoooo.. that would be funny if it was but its not from that, rewatch the beginning

[2yan5]

if you stop at 0:12 he looks like homer simpson.

[iwanttofight69]

how old is this dude?

[geakeh]

He looks like Brucie from GTA IV

[iistyleszii]

this is a workout only he can do. juiced up mofo

[ThomasWinkworth]

this guy looks like that crazy zombie off that film called i am legend, beast

[weepaul666]

@ThomasWinkworth hahaha

[abyssmal26]

Very good exercise. A guaranteed shoulder injury. Monson should teach this to his opponents.

[churborx7]

He looks like hes strugging on 37.5 lbs? Its not heavy at all...

[kwak76]

he should use kettlebells for the snatch.

[joejoeyjoejoejoseph]

mosson is a beast

[stratocaster1986able]

What is that hole on his forehead? Looks like he's been shot in the head.

[iLLsPoKeN99]

@stratocaster1986able

[soydepr]

@iLLsPoKeN99 ROFL!!

[soydepr]

@iLLsPoKeN99 ROFL!!

[bradazz549]

[bradazz549]

[BuddenOne]

@bradazz549 He's won his last fights. How is he shit? pussy ass kid.

[chekoz77]

Jeffs fighting in South Florida(Pompano Beach) on October 23 2010!!

[karlosydd]

funny man

[bright5086200]

hes the walking dead. He got shot

[johnmkrs83]

if jeff monson was a superhero, he'd be doomsday.

[lagostefano]

my legs hurts just seen him doing it... he burns them..

[1080famous]

its explosive!

[kylemma33]

i tried the very first one and got a split open head

[fidjibajs1]

@kylemma33 omg are you serious?

[TH3D1R3CTOR]

awesome underground gym

[GSPRockNRoll]

thats one shit gym lol

[FreedomZealot]

@GSPRockNRoll Nah, grimy little pits like that are PERFECT for serious training! No distractions, no chrome, no emasculating music -- just iron, sinew, and sweat. Hell yeah.

[por4atko]

Depending on your goals, you can do either low or high reps for fighting. First off, the high reps in a circuit are used for conditioning. The power you gain from high reps is significantly lower, than the power you gain from low reps. If you want power and core strength, you should do low reps. But to me, a good MMA workout is, when you devote a special training day for strength/power/technique/spari­ng and a special day for conditioning/speed/technique/s­paring. Sparing and technique are a must

[nataskaos]

is Jeff back to fighting?

I hope so. LOVE this guy...as an anarchist and as a fighter.

[lunker73]

I tried these last night and I only used 50 pounders and man I was gassed after 3 sets""

[cussy182]

has he got a bullet hole in his head?

[Saladon89]

@cussy182 no he got a cigar burned LMFAO

[cheesespin]

jeff monson is a fucking animal

[Danielllllewis]

Where can I watch the whole thing?

[bmccoy07]

its 37.5 lbs

[tooland2]

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT...at 28 seconds, is that 375lbs on a dumbell? Is that right?-Becuase 300 on a single arm is insane.

[Stifledsubmission]

These workouts can't build any muscles? They jus build strength? i want to gain some muscle mass and strength

[titbits17]

they both go hand in hand, with strength comes natural size. just make sure you keep your protwin intake high on your off days and you'll be fine

[Stifledsubmission]

i hope so, i'm getting stronger but i dont' notice much of a size difference, i'm basically able to do more reps and lift heavier weight.

[MrSvensson]

just build strenght??? thats the best kind of muscles?

[Stifledsubmission]

I don't understand what ur saying man.. Jeff says, this workout won't put on any mass, and just work strength.. I'm a bit over weight right now.. I want to put on MUSCLE MASS and gain strength, because the more muscle i gain, the easier it will be for me to cut down my body fat to about 8 percent. Getting stronger is great, but i want it all man, be strong, grapple with endurance, and to look strong. i'll have to incorporate this workout with another regimen.

[MrSvensson]

i understand what u mean now, you wanna cut weight? :) but the thing with this is he takes much weight too make strenght and explosivness...the thing you have too do too gain mass is = do more reps :D that will give you volume :) but i think you already knew that maybe? :D

[Stifledsubmission]

For some Odd reason.. Training with more reps like that 6-8 rep scheme, doesn't do it for me, niether does the 8-12... So far what seems to work is doing 3 full body work outs a week, one day heavy, one day light, and the other day medium weight. I could easily cut weight and look ripped but i'd only weigh about 165 pounds.. I wanna be about 190 pounds of lean muscle. I also do these explosive workouts like monson. It kinda of helps with my BJJ not so much on the ground but for the takedowns.

[MrSvensson]

Keep traning :) dont give upp......me myself.....i weighed 120 pounds fore 3 years ago...then i got upp too 165 pounds and now i have dropped down too 145 pounds beacuse there is where i feel comfortable :D soo if i can goo upp you can :) its just traning and nutrition :D

[Stifledsubmission]

Hopefully, i got a bad left shoudler.. if it keeps bohering me, i'm just going to lan up and stay at 165 i'm 5 foot 9 so it not so bad, but i wanna look lie monson lol

[johndoeshar]

wrong man heavy weight low reps = mass(hypertrophy)

[shanont]

not exactly:p mostly u see powerlifters focusing on 1-3reps, fighters is usually around 5-6 and bodybuilders is more like 9-14+. it all depends on how u body react to the weight lifting. But in the end u gain mass by damaging ure muscles fibers as much as possible, which is usually done best by a pretty higher numbers of reps.

[shanont]

reason why u as a fighter tend to have more reps than a powerlifter is endurence ofc.

[helmentNthebush]

dammit im a boxer i want to gain muscle but every time i lift weights im always hurting to much to do my boxing routine the next day

[PeacefulChaos420]

protein bars help. theres also other supplements that are ment to speed up recovery time. If that doesnt work i would reccomend working out a little lighter so your not so sore and just building up slowly until your body can handle both workouts

[Stifledsubmission]

I do BJj and Boxing as well. I know what u mean. Its really tough... to do it naturally.. Plus some people have better genetics than others, my friends trains BJJ and oxing 5 days aweek and weight lifts as well. he's ukrainian. he looks like ivan drago from rocky 4 lol. I have the same problem as u. I don't take any supplements or steroids,, ALthough i know for a fact they would allow to me recover faster.

[lonnie1291]

Jeff looks like a retired super hero

[PeacefulChaos420]

He is

[BuzasaGilicanoq]

saw a hot chick like this at tiny[dot]cc/mygfsucksyou

[TKORob]

Looks like a movie at beginning

[MMAguy714]

possibly one of the best workout for explosiveness.

[mm4junkie]

fuck up ya fishy cunt

[manny097]

that one arm snatch lifts are the shit

[AlexanderandJulie14]

Great advice!

[jakelledo]

is that really a bullet hole?

[lbrm123]

If that was a bullet hole surely he would be dead...?

[CorradoStyle77]

start off with low weights lmao , Monsons a beast .

[molololtow]

rooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidz

[GeorgeDedaj]

Damn this guy is tough, conducting a videotaped seminar with a fresh gaping bullet hole in his head. But what the hell is Travis Bagent doing in this video? Is he gonna help Monson work on his wrist/forearm strength?

Guys, I was just joking. Please send me no hate emails.

[KillerDiaguR]

his neck is actually wider than his head. that's pretty rare

[nonameplayer]

Jeff used to wrestle. Most of the wrestlers have a very strong necks. They need to have a strong neck, cos theres a lot of pressure on the neck in wrestling during the training.

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah jeff is a rare fighter/grappler very rare... not just some pure bjj guy,

[Mannypacquia0]

and thats not his neck.. you mean his traps, yeah he does look like he has some strong ass traps

[tghooker]

i'm no expert but i think the 1 arm dead lift would be better if done in a lunging style, so it works one leg at a time since he isnt lifting max weight with a bar.

[hhhyz]

thats right, he isnt lifting max weight with a bar...i doubt anyone can lift their maximum with one dumbell...in my gym the dumbells go up to 50 kg and thats it...i like the idea of the lunge style deadlift

[imwtchingu86]

looks like the cops shot him in the forehead, but he kept commin at em lol

[762full]

monson is a "beast"

can you imagine running into an animal like that int he street?!

He may not be the best figher, but he is certainly very good and among the best. I would like to see him and fedor.

Fedor would in all probability win by arm bar from the bottom, but I would rather see that fight than anything else.

[patsfan1228]

met him today at town center mall

[ys1337]

if he keeps lifting wights like that his joints will be completly fucked up in a matter of years , don lift weight if you cant lift it properly

[system0Fhonor]

I never seen him fight is he any good ?

[Jiujitsu205]

yes, he has a very good record.

[BaneOfFreeSpeech]

check his record on wikipedia.

[bucko06]

Surprised he doesn't smash the light when he does the one armed snatch lol

[m3g1]

one arm snatch is awesome, been using it for some months now.. kinda cool.. like now i'm lifting like half of my bodyweight over my had.. it just feels good =)

[mfstanley001]

bruce willis on steroids.lol

[weepaul666]

@mfstanley001 funny that any bald tough guy is always referred to bruce willis. haha

[rloft123]

@mfstanley001 more like a bald Dominic Monaghan on steroids

[bim2x4]

Jeff Monson should be a TV exercise product pitchman.

He's very articulate and persuasive in his delivery.

Plus he's got the background to prove what he's preaching.

I'd buy his products.

[ElephantRage]

plus plus you would never tell him to fuck off. ever.

[duff835]

any one know how tall he is?

[DiveBum18]

5 foot 8 inches

[maxwellhello]

5'9" (176cm)

240lbs (109kg)

[lionsroar]

Awesome! My workouts are very similar.

[yak6ex]

God being tough is way cooler than being strong just for the sake of being strong. I know, I know, I know you have to be strong to do MMA.

[etacovda]

he don't look like a snowman. He looks more like Mr. Clean

[AnonTurd]

i really wanna see this

tatman200

[Gescajadillo]

mma is the new bodybuilding

[circlebread]

no you wouldn't

[DiveBum18]

how do you beat a piss test? seriously? its terribly easy. I play high school football and i take roids and have never tested positive because i know how to beat the system its so easy!

[duff835]

yea because your stupid as fuck for taking roids

[DiveBum18]

haha yes i am(: but if you take them in moderation its not as bad for you as people think.

[duff835]

not a single person that has commented on this video knows as much about roids then i do. and you said your taking them in moderation ok did your docter give them two your or are you useing them for ganing body mass? cus i have a roid cream that i take but its from my doctor and its for my hands becuse i eat my fingers. but those are very low amouts and they don't efect your body mass at all

[DiveBum18]

its for body mass however they are not the roids you are thinking of. It is a very low grade of hgh, however my first comment was how to beat a pee test for roids. even tho its a low grade hgh they still will test positive for steroids.

[reillyjj]

SWEEET... one are deadlifts. I'm gonna try those!

[joenobody13]

steroids or not, this is a good workout. steroids just allow you to do this type of workout more often than normal.

[faivision]

hey im not even on steroid but i can do this training without problem plus i do that caveman training anytime i want.if u just born strong who needs steroids

[YurallLosers]

ZZZZZZZZZZ.  Like anybody cares.

[ikillyou32]

its funy how the only people that dis fighters on the internet are fat lazy pieces of shit that feel so shit about themself that they have to take it out on real athletes that actually get off their ass and train

[PalesAbuShreek]

can't agree more, i'll just copy what u wrote and paste it on every comment from these pieces of shit.

[circlebread]

well said...if you don't any have anything good to say then just shut up and let the real athletes talk.

[jaynaandmanbabe]

Thanks Jeff, I am trying to get back in shape and your videos are a huge help.

Keep it up man. GO ATT!

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah i cant believe some of the kimbo fag wagan fans think kimbo could beat someone like monson... shit all i can see is monson snapping kimbo in half like a twig and making him look like a owned little bitch

[111sully111]

amen to that monson would destroy kimbo fag

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah i mean monson is one of the most prestigious grapplers ive ever seen, i mean the guy is a ADCC submission wrestling champion, and whats kimbo have thats soo special???? fuckin backyard fights with fat bums?? shit monson would put kimbo out of his missury,

[ESTEBEVERDE]

what about the roids?

what's your formula there?

[tehmilkybarkid]

jeff monson's training program: take a shit load of steroids then fap to porn

[slackularo]

Holy shit that's mine too!

[RobinsTV]

W/e he used before doesn't matter much now. every ufc fighter is taking frequently "pee tests" so zipit.

[ESTEBEVERDE]

Here's the thing... "pee pee test" are so very very easy to beat!

They are a JOKE.

All I'm saying is that the should be subject to full disclosure.

For the record I think steroids are fabulous and don't see any problem with them whatsoever especially in brutal ass combat sports.

But hey, thanks for playing the home game twink! ;-)

[Andylikesmuchmetal]

How do you beat the piss test?  Just out of intrest?

[neolestat13]

Don't forget that monson was a natural fat guy. All he did is cut fat so that his muscles show. He is also a vegetarian. so his diet helped him burn fat and gain muscle. I never heard of monson taking steroids but if he did he probably used not abused. It is like complaining to an artists and telling him/her that he/she cheated by using pot to enhance creativity. An artist is already born an artist.Or like saying that an already smart person cheated writting a book under the influence of ginko

[Dissection93]

hes cool

[eskabo]

From a "critical bench" a while back:

"CRITICAL BENCH: If you could fight at Wrestle Mania and challenge 3 people, in a full contact fight who would you choose and why?

Jeff Monson: McCain, Obama, and Hillary Clinton because hopefully the people would realize we can do just fine without anyone in charge of us. "

I love that answer. Rock on Jeff!

[SteroidsBuildWinners]

This dude is a phycho. Sometimes that's a good thing.

[krims0n70]

im just as tall as jeff and i wanna be as big as him

[Borrado93]

what's the black spot in his head :S

[BelfastBrigade17]

a cut?

[TimeWarp66]

It's like a bump, or a curve in his forehead that makes a shadow type thang.

[BigNate021690]

gun shot wound from the day before the video

[tuffrebel]

see the bullet wound in his head. such a gnar dog

[steppinrazor01]

your an idiot

[DetKimble23]

Monson actually admitted it on Sherdog's Beatdown show a while back and said they should be legal in MMA.

[Maloperverso]

What should be legal in MMA?

[johnnyu3]

roids

[faivision]

but i prefer speed,strength and endurance eventhough ur a big guy.

[mastap182]

hes supose ta b a really sound person really normal an nice loik....plus es a beast!!

[Havicmaker1]

haha this man is a beast

and to all you cyber punks talkin shit about the snowman he would beat all your asses I do mma and this shit would be killer

[cricka09]
