BJ Penn is an example of how MMA has progressed in only 5 or so years. He is a great technical fighter but I think his strength and genetic potential left him out matched against some of the modern super athletes like GSP.
For all the people here thinking that their the same size as bj and can lift heavier, good for you!....but I guarantee after 25 minutes in an octagon you wouldn't be able to lift more than him and that's the difference between beach muscles and a conditioned athlete.
@meetchvb how is it bodybuilding ? mma requires pushing (chest/triceps) and pulling (biceps/back) and alot of punching (shoulders) and alot of twisting (core)
bj had horrible strength and conditioning coaches for this fight. arm isolation excersizes don't make you much stronger ur biceps and triceps dont need to be really strong in mma.
building some chest and shoulder endurance.pretty cool to see people on tv and see that they are just an ordinary person with a sense of humor and not stuck up .
Obviously we have a situation here!! Anyone who is interested kicking people asses, and the art of destroying pussies, watch this video..... anyone interested in looking at muscly, semi-naked men all tanned and oiled up.... you've come to the wrong place, you're after the Jay Cutler videos.
too bad these mma guys are so clueless when it comes to strength. they need serious help. who's this trainer? is he training a teen aged girl? you're wasting your time and money with this guy, bj.
@Highway420Music i hear u but you don't want too much muscle mass in mma. muscle stamina, explosive power, and flexibility are more important than raw strength. remember he ain't holding up the center of an o line. he needs to be able to go 5-25 minutes w/out getting tired.
@Homage808 U?.. still laughing at your own pathetic attempts to be funny?.. and still trying to be smart??
It's not working, so go jerk off to your BJ poster and stop responding to comments that aren't directed at you. It will save you from being embarassed. LOSER.
if you want to be explosive you need to increase you maximal stength bottom line and unless ur not lifting three times you bodyweight it can only be good for you
i'am a track runner and in our sport relative strength is the most important thing
i do maximal strenght workout 1 a month and my weight didn't increase that much because it works essentially the nervous system
it's when u lift for more than 3 reps that you muscle mass increase
@ABU2710 i didnt write anything about explosive power? i was responding to the coment about strength. if you read the post, youd see he was writing how strong he was, but in mma/boxing stamina trumps power/strength. what made you feel as though you had to read your resume tough guy?
For MMA you work out on preparing for a fight, the first four weeks you lift heavy low rep then in the middle weeks you go low weight high rep so the weight goes down then in the last 2 weeks you do piometrics and bodyweight exersizes im a mma fighter i no these things
For all the morons wondering why he is training like this it's because this is probably the first phase of his periodized strength cycle where general strength/hypertrophy is established to be converted into specific strength/power as he approaches the fight.
people also don't realize, that BJ does a lot of other shit, Doing BJJ alone builds great strength and endurance, then he does wight trainng, and then he does functional strength training. People just assume, the only way to work out is heavy weights with low repititions
Guys weight lifting is only part of his routine. These simple exercises are benefitial to fighters(push ups, crunches,etc)but should be supplemented with other things like plyos, sledgehammer, kettelbells etc. BJ does all that stuff as well. I look forward to the fight and I think his conditioning will be very good.
