Franklin is a beast,freak athlete!.This would make even most hardcore guys to struggle bad.lol.Machine excersises are great aswell,Franklin is having one of the best strength and condition trainer there is out there..i think he KNOWS his buisness much more than YouTube warriors.
@anticravity pretty sure this isn't the only workout he does. Most athletes completely change their workouts every now and then. I mean, he doesn't even do core work here and everyone knows a fighter's life is his core
In mma there is so much risk in losing a fight if u lose 3 in a row ur out and u drop in rank there is so much on the line that if ur injured enough that you think u won't be able to win they pull out it's not the fear of losing it's what at stake
I met him the other day. No one weight trains like him in the middleweight division. The strongest middleweights in term of strength is yushin okami and rich franklin.
Has been to war where pain is an everyday occurence, you have to improvise adapt overcome or be deemed weak a failure. Soldier on cause pain is the name of the game.
He doesn't want to fight Tito he knows one more loss an he's bamma bound. I understand training is hard an rough on the body but the fighters of today don't have the same heart as the early UFCers. They fought injured, on short notice, 3-4 times in one night ! Boxers even when do you hear a boxer missing a fight due to training injury ? Almost never. Today all the fighters are pulling the injury card, if you can't fight through pain your in the wrong sport. I only say this as an infantrymen who
A lot of people are saying his training isnt all that hard and pointless I'll like to see how long they could go anybody can talk the the talk but doing it is different matter just haters anyway i liked it makes me want to go hard in the gym
@ndzordz 1) Cro Cop's a different weight class 2) No he wouldn't if he was 205 3) cro cop is washed up 4) he was amazing in japan, why is it that he can't even save his career in america?
@KillSpreeGaming Bruce Lee was tin but was beating much bigger opponents. If he is real fighter he has to fight no matter the weight, height, all we are humans
@ndzordz I think he's a great guy because he does it for the passion and not for the money, I think he does fantastic preperation for his fights, and I'll admit he looked really good in his last 2 fights, but what I'm saying is is that Mirko just really isn't that good, compared to a lot of fighters in the UFC.
I don't get it. Why doesn't he do compund movements like bent over rowing, deadlifts, military press and so on? I'd guess that especially martial artists can profit from that kind of exercises.
@anticravity I agree with you man. Im guessing since hes doing all these machines nonstop for an hour, machines would kinda be better so the weights wont fall on him if he goes to failure.... but he has a trainer with him to spot him so I guess Im wrong but thats all i can think of. But yeah nothing beats Squats, deadlifts, powercleans, bench press etc etc for strength training.
ive seen (and so have you if you have done any proper training), guys going non stop for well over an hour doing way more intensive and way higher impact training with alot more resistance. When the trainer said that Frankiln is a machine and he's never seen anyone like him i reckon he was talking him up big time. In addition, Franklin had his world class trainer and some not so random camera and hot chick helping to inspire him where as us gym rats do it all solo a lot of the time. Props to us
See now what I don’t understand is how did Anderson the Spider Silva destroyed this man unbelievable that fucking shows you that Anderson Silva is the fucking king of MMA I don’t give a fuck what anybody says
@TheBTHONG i totally agree with you... i do mma a little and i beat opponents who are way stronger but horrible fighters because they spend to much time in the gym.
@qazqazqaz113 Because his uncle is Rich Franklin I mean... lol Sorry In retrospect I guess that was a strange thing to say just out of the blue. He's one of my absolute heroes in mixed martial arts.
While you neards are on here bitchin about how you could do it no problem sitting in ur comfy chair eatin cheatos Rich is out there lifting more than you weigh (which is prolly a bit....) with each arm..
Rich Franklin comes to my gym every once and while its called AMC kickboxing by the one and only Matt Humes who if u didnt know is a fucking legend. Anyway he helped me train once and honestly this guy is hella chill and super nice, and probably wouldnt give one fuck bout the haterz. And of course he would kick anyones ass haha definitely a beast.
@ hosmanc, got to agree like my earlier post the machine training is terrible for any athlete. He would be a much better athlete if he didnt use a bastaradised circuit training routine.
yo people SHUT THE HELL UP MAN...can u do wat he does??/try fightin wit him...see how all dat shit talkin goes...no wer...train hard play hard brah!!!dats da name of da game..and yeah...i bet he did that girl..sweet!!!
Love Rich but this awful machine training and isolation training is such a terrible joke. There is no functional carryover to this horrible workout. Inner thigh machine? REALLY?!!
Hard workout but I don't like it tbh. 1st of all I think circuit training is bullshit. Its a bastardisation of training methods. If you want strength you are better off strength training, if you want aerobic endurance you are better off doing steady state cardio, if you want lactate threshold increases you are better off doing interval sprints. lol apart from that criticism, the work out is all machine weights which is rubbish for mma as it prevents the use of any stabiliser muscles.
one of my favorite fighters of all time. the guys classy, knows wat to say at the right time, just a nice guy and the amount of effort he puts into every performance is unbelievable
@kerplunk1992 yeah it does that, it was so weird when i tried this. you feel so horrible, about to throw up, and you just feel like sitting in a corner and dying......but if you do it enough youll get use to it and be very fit(obviously)
Makes my four circuits a week look lame. I watch this and I know I neglect legs. This guy is so motivated! I don't know whether to be inspired or ashamed. Respect, dude!
@PaleoAthletics rich franklin is a legend, if you know so much about training why arent you the champ or even training champs, stfu and respect dipshit rich franklin obviously knows what it takes to win
How pathetic. Where are the sports specific movements? Where is the carryover of leg extension machines to MMA? Little to none. Rich fire your trainer he hasn't a clue.
@PaleoAthletics I'm pretty sure there aren't many muscles you couldn't use in a fight. Leg extensions? Your quads are going to be helping you trip up a persons leg with 200lbs on it. Helping you stand up when wall walking. Not to mention being the main muscle in your leg helping to generate a kick. He said he works every part of his body so the end result would be his entire body being strong. And what makes a heavy punch? When you use your entire body to generate the power. Including quads...
@PaleoAthletics This is just the strength training part of the training he goes through. I'm sure when he goes to practice he's getting all the sport specific movements he'll need in a fight. I was, however, surprised at how many machines he used vs free weights, but whatever works for him.
Rich is an amazing athelete and i'd love for him to one day get another chance at the UFC title. Silva is crazy good though.. but i feel his time is coming.
this is the dumbest shit ive ever seen. do you know what this get you trained for, lifting weights on fixed machines for and hour straight-thats it. I think it shows amazing athleticism and determination but its a waste of time that otherwise could be used much more effectively.
@kman87675700 i think thats a little harsh, obviosly this is beneficial or he wouldnt be doing. He is a profesional athlete with profesional trainers. Now i dont know alot, but as far as i kno a circuit such as this that works the whole body with high reps does a number of things. It trains your muscles to worrk with lactic acid buildup and fatiggue, and builds a never quit mental toughness. I can see what your saying a bit because it is just weights, not fight training. 1 hour isnt a waste tho
@kman87675700 This wouldn't likely be his sole resistance program. I'm sure he has a varied program which includes body weight stuff (push up variations, chins, plyometrics etc..) Olympic lifting complexes, strong man type workouts like tyre flips, pushing and pulling drilss etc, etc...
On it's own you're probably right. It's not the best workout for a fighter, however, as part of a larger program it appears to be a good cog in an overall conditioning machine.
He is doing these excersices so that when it comes to the 5 round fight his muscles won't fatigue easily. If you watch closely he is not lifting 2 or 3 hundred lbs. Relatively light weight, tons of reps, and non stop. Totally about making sure his mucles aren't going to poop out on him before his cardio.
59 fat fucking haters!!! HAHA, I bet you coulnt do 1/4 of this training. You dumb fucks fail to remember that this is just one workout. Rich probably does 2'a days like 5-6 days a week.
Why does he do this? why dosent he do that? this person is better.....
@bryz2034 He has only lost to a handful of guys, all of them some of the best in the world. Regardless, this s about muscle endurance, when is the last time Franklin gassed out in a fight? Never?
@wubs23 he's unlikely to put on muscle size with the high amount of reps he does, circuit training tends to be more of a cardio workout rather than hypertrophic

this is the dumbest shit ive ever seen. do you know what this get you trained for, lifting weights on fixed machines for and hour straight-thats it. I think it shows amazing athleticism and determination but its a waste of time that otherwise could be used much more effectively.

@kman87675700 i think thats a little harsh, obviosly this is beneficial or he wouldnt be doing. He is a profesional athlete with profesional trainers. Now i dont know alot, but as far as i kno a circuit such as this that works the whole body with high reps does a number of things. It trains your muscles to worrk with lactic acid buildup and fatiggue, and builds a never quit mental toughness. I can see what your saying a bit because it is just weights, not fight training. 1 hour isnt a waste tho

@kman87675700 This wouldn't likely be his sole resistance program. I'm sure he has a varied program which includes body weight stuff (push up variations, chins, plyometrics etc..) Olympic lifting complexes, strong man type workouts like tyre flips, pushing and pulling drilss etc, etc...
On it's own you're probably right. It's not the best workout for a fighter, however, as part of a larger program it appears to be a good cog in an overall conditioning machine.

He is doing these excersices so that when it comes to the 5 round fight his muscles won't fatigue easily. If you watch closely he is not lifting 2 or 3 hundred lbs. Relatively light weight, tons of reps, and non stop. Totally about making sure his mucles aren't going to poop out on him before his cardio.

59 fat fucking haters!!! HAHA, I bet you coulnt do 1/4 of this training. You dumb fucks fail to remember that this is just one workout. Rich probably does 2'a days like 5-6 days a week.
Why does he do this? why dosent he do that? this person is better.....
WOW You must really hate yourself !!!!
I feel sorry for you.

He just does this training to lose? I dont see any champs doing this.. Hes a good fighter.. but cant compete with the best
bryz2034 1 year ago
@bryz2034 He has only lost to a handful of guys, all of them some of the best in the world. Regardless, this s about muscle endurance, when is the last time Franklin gassed out in a fight? Never?

@Armylad2k10 After any intense workout like that the last thing on your mind is sex. Train. Eat. Sleep. Sex on off-days.

why the HELL is he doing all these isolation exercises?! there is no use for them in mma...
core training and compounds is the way to go. functional strength.. explosive plyometrics.. muscle endurance over size..
seriously, what the hell did his strength coach study? no training science, that's for sure!

@rckr24 I am not saying i am better, i sure as hell am not. i am just saying i dont understand why he is doing this kind of training.
wubs23 1 year ago
@wubs23 he's unlikely to put on muscle size with the high amount of reps he does, circuit training tends to be more of a cardio workout rather than hypertrophic
