I'm not sure how you say it lacks lower body functional exercises. I recall doing agility, swings and some sand bag exercise. All the movements involve the core as well. Again, it is a sample of one circuit, it is not the answer to all your training needs. I do have a little understanding about the needs of martial arts and contact sports (despite what I may look like!), I have trained for over 35 yrs in various "hard core" martial arts and served as a combat soldier.

Thanks for your comments. These exercises are functional for any sport that needs hip drive, lateral agility, a strong core and upper body. Wrestling, Football,Rugby, skiing, skating etc. Try it.Look at the general movt patterns of your sport and apply the circuit. You can get more specific as needed and adjust the exercises.

Sorry you didn't like it. You must have a lot of expertise in this topic. I must have missed your presentation at the last big strength and conditioning conference.

It wasn't that heavy. I think it was only about 40 or 45lbs. The circuit was done between clients and after a few other short videos. I know, excuses, excuses....

that thing with the band looked like it wore you out pretty good heh

[StrongtotheCore]

Yep, I was done after about 30 seconds, but I did a few other things before this video. It's tough getting old! I hope you liked it either way, try it for your self.

Liked the agility station most. Looks like a sound routiine. How often do you stick with same routine before you change it?

Alright routine but it lacks lower body functional exercises in sports which is extremely important especially in mma or other contact sports

very nices ideas, and very good work!

Ignore the comments of the people who don't know a XXXXX and keep the good work!

Great passive responses to some hater comments. Very effective. You have to admit some of those excercises really were silly looking bordering the gay look.

your a FAGGOT

e.g. I am guessing many of these exercises are for skiing/skating of some form!

[mrc86]

Mate stoaked you have posted some usefull exercise ideas up. Ignore the ridiculous comments made by some of the other users.

Just a word of advice, if you ever to title an exercise video "functional" you must mention what the exercises are functional for. Not doing so gives the uneducated the misconception that any exercise incorporating the use of a medicine ball, fitball or other tool is functional training.
