Strength and Conditioning Workout video by Mike Saffaie

[dancolb82]

these are all intense workouts but it would be good to see one full circuit.

[carliiscool]

Wow. Your are truly my idol. With that said, id like to also add, Your way of training is absolutely awesome. Im currently attending the National Personal Training Institut (NPTI) in San Diego, and the way we train here, is exactly how you train. Its not all about "who can life the most weights" or "who has the most veins popping out of their arms" its all about being able to perform various obstacles. Just as you said. I like your mentality, keep it up, your inspiring man.

PALOS MOTHER FUCKING VERDES

[marlon1431]

This is one of the most entertaining videos I have seen that is fitness related. Great job, you made me go to the gym. I'm sure I have seen you at the academy.

[emm589]

Awesome video, it would be great if you gave the routines and and all, in order to follow them, like a programm, this day I do this then this, then the other day this....thanks a lot in advance....

[sorryass9988]

damn mad props homie. I thought i had bad ass workouts but this shit right here shits on my workouts

[ryhawks49]

This is amazing! I'm a trainer and I see alot of the same routines over and over again. This is an awesome video! Very useful.

[iFearN0thing]

your a beast

[silenthatedyouth]

great workout

[combatzonewrestling1]

can you really do situps on the heavy bag like that?

[reefturkey]

Sick! Very inspiring. You my friend are in one heck of a shape. Keep it up i enjoy all your videos.

[716Jitsu]

thanks for sharing some of your exercises and your quote

[kinetik1989]

some weight lifting technique errors on a whole but his stability and balance were impressive so his core training appears to be spot on.

[kinetik1989]

bench press technique was off, that arch in his back when he used 6 plates can cause injury.

[ottl2]

Holy shit, how comes your "only" a blue belt? You're the fittest grappler that I have ever seen :P How often do you train Bjj in a week?

[myksgrl]

@ottl2 Thanks bro, I train 5 days a week, currently I am a purple belt and have been for almost 2 years.

[ottl2]

@myksgrl Cool congratulations, one day you will be for sure a black belt ;-) Was that you in the rushfit DVD of GSP? What do you think honestly about the workouts? I would like to buy it to improve my condition for mma! Thanks

[myksgrl]

@ottl2 Thanks bro!! The GSP workout is legit, it will challenge you to the fullest.

[mikeg46253]

dude you should try to get on the ultimate fighter

[whiteflash1323]

What do you weigh? I was not expecting you to bench 3 plates, and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

[KOOLJDJ]

U LOOK LIKE tony montana

[ColeYounger88]

Spectacular!!!

[tonymontana787]

awesome training keep on going!

respect and greetz from germany

[aurash91]

man this puts me and my p90x to shame

[durstbloor]

awesome inspiring vid

[SouljaVic]

what gym is that ??

[SouljaVic]

Torrance Beach! 

[shanepify]

I give you props bro you just made millions of people to go do what you did to get better game for Jiu-Jitsu and strength now you have set my goal to do what you that's what i need to get back in the game thanks bro.

[SymphonyofDevons]

the weight training hes doing is not going to benefit you for jiu jitsu in anyway. it will make your body look good but it will not help you get in good shape at all. anything over 8 rep causes myotrophy and defeats the purpose of training for a sport. im not ragging this guy because hes on hgh. I have nothing against it, but dont deny it. If not hgh then some sort of synthetic.

[pclose11]

@SymphonyofDevons 'anything over 8 rep causes myotrophy and defeats the purpose of training for a sport' - low reps might be the ideal for explosive strength but what you say simply isn't true

[SymphonyofDevons]

he is on HGH, and most of these workouts are bodybuilding/mass building workouts. Anybody else who would workout like this and train would get in horrible shape and have no muscle endurance at all. He would be in such better shape and way more explosive and stronger than he already is if he got on a better program. Because the second he gets off the GH he will be screwed as far as being in shape goes

[09jemini]

@SymphonyofDevons

How do you KNOW he is on HGH?? Is it impossible to look that way without it? I would take this as a compliment if I were him!

[yardkyle]

oh and dope training, buddy guy there is shredded

[yardkyle]

what's the music?



[MiguelakaMO]

ey mike, so you weigh only 180lbs. and you bench more than 350lbs. how tall are you?

[cleoluvrats]

amazing, this is just awesome

[graminc]

Crazy impressive. Super inspiring. I also saw the vid where he said he only drinks 20g protein. Holy cow. I obviously works.

[RayMysteryo]

ehh fuck that...

[41885049]

good training vid - thanks

[linxus18]

Ultimate athelete. Gratz. Outstanding.

[thewoodsider]

Yea man. Great vid!

[TheSleepingMoth]

dude....what happened to you in the video "GSP's bodyguard' (here on the tube)????......you were supposed to be GSP's bodyguard!!!! what happened to all your training???....

dude.....

[gyokurokyoto]

awesome!

[truefrompg]

now that's some motivation for you right there!!! thanks for showing your workouts. I've been doing bjj for a while now up in Seattle and been doing a lot of things you also do in my workouts also. now i have more thanks to you. much love

[myksgrl]

Thanks brother!!

[myksgrl]

@truefrompg Thank you bro

[knewok]

fuck yeah now this is a workout video, what an inspiration. totally impressed, keep it up. post more vids too id love to watch more

[vbm2011]

does strength and conditioning workouts build muscle mass?

[davespark10]

really? you only weigh 175? and bench that much? thats a lot... im 15 weigh 192 and bench 225. My lower body's not that good, i guess thats where my extra weights coming from.

[flossbee]

You should do a daily/weekly workout vlog or somethin'. I'm sure many people including would myself would definitely tune in. Your workout regimen looks a lot more intense than those I see on infomercials that are going for $300+...

[myksgrl]

Thank you for your kind words, I am a personal trainer not quit an infomercial but I do my best to help others

[BarStarzz]

Mean training. Like how the video was put together as well

[ichigeki81]

Motivating video!!! what's the song?

[OpiousOverhell]

What diet may I ask is beneficial for muscle growth and increased energy without much weight gain?

[Gunskie]

he was going up the same hill the gracie bros run up pulling someone. GG

[Wongene]

nice! :D

[PrimoSkeeter1904]

Get them legs up brother

Dead lifts, squats

no machine cheating either

[tubester92]

this guy is a fuckin beast

[Wongene]

Strong person for sure!

[Hurricane23]

nice video. what days do you usually go to the gjj academy? haven't seen you around yet.

[myksgrl]

I'm there every day, I train in the morning. When did you start training??

[Hurricane23]

I been training since september, i go there at night. Best thing i ever been apart of =)

[Venerated777]

Awesome job man!

[BIGPUNJ88]

what's your weight?walk around weight? do you do this as iju-jitsu specific?

[myksgrl]

I weigh 175 all the time, I only do somethings for Jiu-Jitsu I love being strong fast and agile as well as jumping high, kinda like a Thunder Cat. But those elements help me with Jiu JItsu now I just need to get more flexible.

[BIGPUNJ88]

what's your weight?walk around weight?

[BIGPUNJ88]

what's your weight

[Hempknight03]

Respect.

[URSODEMEL22]

sik shit mike...i really like the sk8board workout at the beach iv been trying my own workouts that are kinda like that and its a killer...

[myksgrl]

thanks bro

[bobbyamin]

EXCELLENT ROUTINE. Well done brother. I hope more young guys getting into fitness heed your messge and ignore pill and powder pushing meatheads in muscle mags. Far too few "fit" people value principles like "balance" "anaerobic power" "flexibilty" and "wholistic health"...Principles that you clearly embody. All that focus on "huge guns" and "bulging pecs" at the expense of total body health just gets young kids injured.

[Hurricane23]

good shit!

[niggabartlebee]

HOw tall are u?

[myksgrl]

5"9.5

[sj2sac]

great vid man..all around strength is the best

[Sergei91]

Absolutely beautiful, i wanna be in that kind of shape!!!! makes you feel really good....and hungry lolol and thirsty too, that's when you appreciate water and food more.

[yepprz]

1:41 Creative. Love it. RESPECT.

[cpick26]

great balanced workout

[0102106kls]

what type of shoe's do your run in

[weathers7531]

This vid's going in my faves just for inspiration alone. I've been working out about 6months and still have a LONG way to go to reach my goal but this vid pumps me up!

[manopenaltygol08]

Wow ur an animal bro..respect! but i was wondering if u take any supplements or vitamins to help u recover and get through these intense workouts??

[peakmatt]

amazing

[emado4ever]

Great job dude thanks alot for osting you are inspiring us

[JuL3r]

I like the song, whats it called?

[mikemetzger29]

tiesto-adagio for strings

[17soccer10]

very good, respect

[paonui932]

this guy is an animal! what a workout. congrats

[bearboy01]

Good video. I like the plyometrics cross trained with the heavy weights, cool stuff. I'm guessing this guy is a purple belt now?

[ArminSound]

Tiestoooooooooooo!!!

[ruwrestlerchic1]

That dudes a beast!!!!

[slipfirep40]

Nice work!

[MysticVeRtigOooo]

it is a nice video...i apreciate you work..you did a great job !

[reaper19931]

I want his Condition

[mikem53]

Great video man. Keep up the good work

[adidas205]

wow you should go slower it's more of a work out...

[09jemini]

Going slower can be more of a workout, but it depends what your training for. If your training for speed and explosiveness you would not want to train slow, imagine training for a sprint race slow, it would not work. However if you are a bodybuilder slower movements would be benificial for body composition. But from the looks of this video, this guy does not look like a bodybuilder, he looks like and athlete

[adidas205]

o ok thx:)

[glitch2424]

@09jemini

I kinda disagree actually. He looks like a body builder, but he trains like an athlete. (he does alot of plyometrics). I suggest trying to come up with a string of routines, instead of having individual workouts put together in one video. Having a string of routines is REAL conditioning. Just a suggestion, cuz i would like to see you do/put together one.

[Nazaret99]

@09jemini bodybuilders are athletes.

[MichaelStarkie]

Yo, do you do a full body work out in the gym or two muscle groups a day or..? Also, do you use protein shake, if so what do you recommend?

[snizshizzle]

One of the best workout vids on youtube. Nicely done.

[missiondoe]

I love the song as well!

This is  Dj Tiestos!

[manolo002]

Impressive! Thanks for posting! : )

[barbafett]

wtf dude are u the hulk u are awesome dude

[freaknick250]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!!!!!

[icharuswing]

i aspire to your level of fitness, great job

[JuL3r]

nice balance and body controle. he is in perfect shape and very athletic.

big respect!

[SF4Player]

great work out vid/ great song ! 1:44 looks crazy im going to try it.

[clsmooth785]

damn that bomber..crazy video my g.

[frifty]

damn!!! mad respects

[okue91]

you should make a balance training video ;)

[santafuria2]

0:05 LOL! Don't they have a Txt machine???

[myksgrl]

I use the bike to warm up my shoulder, becasue I have a torn rotator cuff. Any who has a shoulder problem, try it and you will see that it is a great way to enter blood in the shoulder.

[alphaunit4]

so can you post exactly what you do

[myksgrl]

I dont understand what you mean.

[alphaunit4]

i mean a workout plan

[alphaunit4]

whats your workoutplan

[Tanlosdad]

WOW!

[KCrenshaw09]

wow what a week, im inspired.

[walkertexasranger33]

lol he does it weekly, not for 1 weeek

[jota191]

hot body...

[PrinceBejita]

its his life,love,job,hobby,advantage and some other things what he is for.

[ro332]

I'm pumped!! Off to the gym wooaaahhh

[shrpsh00ta]

damn that balancing stuff he does on the boards and ball is quite hard too

[alexzaharcu]

you take protein powders? what kind?

[ro332]

Not that you specifically asked me but I hear the best protein is whey protein. You need a pre-workout shake and a post workout shake. The post workout shake is vital as your muscles need the protein after every workout. Hope that's of use to you.

[alexzaharcu]

I'm workout for 4 years now, i know a bit of bodybuilding.i was wondering a specific brand like Weider or Optimum?

[aquezada4095]

hey mike- great video. I know that was Redondo Beach where u were pullling and pushing the skateboarder, but where is that park with all the pull up bars at?

[StevoRemo]

6:08 holy damn this whole vid is incredible

[lilshittyhunt]

forreal man you should check in to the special forces and or navy seals you would pass the conditioning stages with ease. think about it great career move if your into this kind of thing. marine core at least , you'd even put their best to shame you would move up in rank extremly fast

[awalkerog]

Amazing core strength and balance!

[lilshittyhunt]

this guy  is navy seal and special force material

[09jemini]

This is amazing...I will never be able to do half this stuff but seeing your dedication to fitness inspires me to work harder than I do! BTW 6:12-6:52 and 1:52 are my favorite! ; )

[ChenWeixing92]

5:55 holy shit o0

[carnevore]

this looks absolutely amazing, i dont do a martial art or any thing, but i want this!

[mrj76]

This video has really inspired me!!!

[Franziskaner26]

muscles of steeeellll!!!!!

[swrb6]

you really have to want it

[gregcarson]

1:43 pretty cool ahaha

[JRStheTruth]

One bad ass dude.

[leskeboogie]

yeah bra!! work that shiz out, i'm doing you class when i get home from Alaska!

[BigATrainwreck]

nice job man... good routine, and its good to see someone keeping up with their dedication to fitness

[debo8880]

This video is sick it is great to see different forms of exercise.. and beach love its great that your uncle is "jacked" but what can you do? I can starve myself and get airbrushed in a magazine but can you push yourself? your just a hater that would get out lifted, out ran and tapped out... and you would never do this because you cant... good job mike and thanks for showing us how to be better...props....

[beachlovee1252]

big deal my uncle is more jacked than that. also he has been in men's health and bicycling magizines several times. it is cool though. i could never do any of that stuff though.

[sexedwithdreal]

Mike is the man! Def a step above the rest when it comes to training diversity and pound for pound strength! - Darrell

[frisbyrb5]

good exercises, but id feel abit odd doing some of that in the gym

[horantogsvensken]

you should'nt mind what people are thinking in a gym, everyone sound a bit diffrent and not all workouts are hmm lets say pretty :P

its also said to not mind what other people think about you..think for yourself if u feel good and think u look good you actually do frisbyrb5

[TheRealBlueBoNe]

Amazing 6.10 was the best pull up ever lol i thought u fell of at first

[teknodave]

Pretty tight - will definitely add it as a video response to mine, help get you more hits.

Awesome video, very motivating, it will help me once I get a job and back in the gym. :P

Also, very excellent choice in music -- Armin is the man!

[revofree]

wow this is so motivating.. I need to get my ass off this computer!!

thanks!

[childovthenight]

You are unhuman!!! Thats why we love you so much! Were proud to be part of your family. Now if we can only get our fat asses to do this! Love johnnie and mom.

[myksgrl]

Thank you, I'm so happy you liked it

[yamasnik]

And think about its nothing compared to the top MMA fighters....

its stil insane

[myksgrl]

Correct MMA fighters go through the hardest training as well as get punched in the head, I just do for health

[yamasnik]

What do u mean by "i just..."?

its u?

[myksgrl]

Yes, my friend let me used their account to host the video

[yamasnik]
