What is the number one way to improve body composition? Running! What is the number one way to naturally increase hormones and remain young? Running! What is the greatest way to prepare yourself for the intensities of combat? Running!
When you run (Sprint) you burn more calories per second than you do in any other possible human activity! There is nothing as intense as running (sprinting) when it comes to calories per second. By acclimating our body to running (sprinting) we can now easily reach new heights of intensities in our chosen sport. Simply practicing your sport of choice will never allow you to achieve your highest potential in that sport! This is a well known secret of elite trainers: by sprinting regularly you will quickly improve your tolerance to increased levels intensity, your grappling/MMA sessions will seem tame in comparison. Still, it is crucial however that your running routine not take away from precious mat time. This is why Coach Zahabi has included a PDF Guide with sample workouts and details on exactly how to incorporate a running program for combat athletes.
Most important of all, you will learn proper running technique that will allow you to decrease recovery time, decrease inflammation and eliminate injury. You will be able to run faster, further and pain free. Coach also demonstrates the Dynamic Warm-Up and how to shuttle run, a variety of “cut backs” techniques that will allow you to develop world class legs and a respiratory system that will never quit!
Coach will also teach you the best method for increasing the size of your calfs! Forget expensive calf raise machines, forget doing countless reps hoping to see your calfs grow. Coach Zahabi will teach the easiest way to safely use leverage against your calf and force them to grow.
This instructional runs for over 1hr with zero dead time or fluff and includes a PDF Companion Guide! You get the equivalent of what you would learn in a 3-hour seminar. Coach loves to get straight to the point. You will waste zero minutes watching this video. Every single minute in this video is educational.

please coach, never stop doing these AMA videos, I love the philosophy questions

[@timr8456]

MAJOR key for preventing an ACL tear or re-tear is PROPRIOCEPTION training. An example: Stand on one leg for 45 sec (2-3 sets) Once that's easy, same thing from turning your head side to side Once that's easy, close your eyes The ULTIMATE level is eyes closed AND head turning. Very hard When you tear your ACL, your proprioceptors go all out of wack. So in addition to the typical strength training, mobility, and agility - you have to train proprioception

[@damanOts]

Nice to see you know how to run properly. I quit track in high school because they wouldnt let me use barefoot shoes because they were afraid i would get injured smh. I had been running 3-5 miles a day in those shoes for nearly a year already…

@bellicose if you're watching, the strength level you should be when started combat sports is 6.5

[@athreyathandeswaran7510]

Coach, can you add time stamps to these AMA videos?

[@rezaamjadi6191]

1:42:00 As a naprapath let me tell you this. When Stuart McGill talks about the back you should be quiet, pull out your notebook and take notes 😉

[@ismailfarooq97]

Coach you should have Saifedean Ammous on the podcast. He's an economist who focuses on the history of money and Bitcoin. I highly recommend his book The Bitcoin Standard if you haven't already.

[@Vinny_Bones_Sohn]

I saw olivier mercier get that body triangle over and over again in the last fight, is there any special technical advantage that helps him be so efficient on the back- I am competing in a BJJ tournament in 2 weeks and I would love to hear your thoughts on this

[@seankovarik4444]

Coach try collagen protein. It's easy on the gut but still has the bio availability of whey protein.

[@juanrodriguez-deluca8820]

Not a full spectrum of amino acids though

[@seankovarik4444]

@@juanrodriguez-deluca8820 it's better than rice protein which is what he's currently taking

[@Afitz4420]

I am thinking the use of substances and overall not precise development. The say these guys get it apnea. Or we are defective now from injections

[@Royjm5]

2+2=4 is true but objectively not perfectly true. You are right. Use roman numbers for example. 11+11=22, it still makes 4. You use other numbers but they arr the same in another way. 11 is 2 in roman, so 1+1=2. So im saying 11+11=22, 2+2=4, so its still the same result. It all depends of you perspective. The perspective is the farthest point of sight in your mind but it is also a way of thinking that makes the subjective subject be relative.
