Ep 4 Force Velocity Curve: Mixed Martial Athletes

[@stephenward2743]

Speaking of MMA, you lads should react to some of Rogans training videos. The click through rate would be mad high and it would be great to get your takes on his kettle bell training fetish

[@BigJamesGraham]

Yes

[@PhiyackYuh]

He doesnt know jack crap regarding kb training apart from him abusing ped use 🤣

[@johnjohnson3772]

This series is interesting to me because the velocity curve makes you think deeper about the demands of a sport and what attributes an athlete needs. Kind of like when you're creating a character in an RPG and you gotta decide what skills you want to put your skill points into to enhance your playstyle. Could you lads do distance running? I'm talking 800m up to the marathon. Old-school coach wisdom has always been lifting lightweight for a lot of reps but I think people are more aware that training this way doesn't help distance runners express their endurance and speed. Distance runners need dense bones and strong connective tissue to avoid stress fractures and general injuries that come about due to the volume of miles. Elastic tendons for efficient energy use and to absorb the impact of striking the ground. The ability to maintain form when tired at the end of a race. Sprinting speed at the end of a race and the hormonal benefits of lifting heavy. Thank you for the knowledge you impart to the citizens of Sikastan :)

Really thankful for combat sport content!

[@brahburns6664]

Looking forward to the Basketball video. Here's a question for you: would you do a rundown on the plans you have and which sports they would work well for? You've given out this information on all your videos that advertise certain plans, but having it in one place would be nice. It would also be a good advertisement for all new years new me shoppers ;;)

[@sportyv1k1ng]

Brilliant video, love the transparency about PEDS...Happy new year guys...🎆🎆🎆

[@amoguspogchamp1008]

Love to see you do volleyball!!

[@CnCstrengthperformance]

Really enjoy these videos. Very informative and also has a very genuine feel. Keep it up!

[@rmmf3601]

Thoughts on neck hypertrophy to help strengthen ones 'chin'? For example, when boxing we perform neck bridges for this. Also MMA fighter Yoel Yomero has a fused neck/top vertebrae and his chin was/is ridiculous.

[@TheeGGBen]

I think it would be interesting to hear about how strongmen would fit on this curve. Obviously they need to have extreme force, but a lot of events require power and some speed.

[@josi8115]

Cheers for the video lads, the force velocity videos are always great. I'm more interested in boxing training so assume it would be more toward the velocity part of the curve with some power aspects considering it's just striking with some inside fighting (pushing/shoving). The problem I have is I don't really understand how the S&C would differ from what you've laid out here since general strength training seemingly underpins all the velocity & power stuff anyway. Hopefully you'll get onto boxing specifically at some point.

Please do one of these videos on rowers

What happened to Ice Hockey?

Why you dont speak about weightliting championship 2021?

[@brycebreen7264]

Would be good if you could do a video on a sport more niche like pole vault

[@BaldOmniMan]

Connor has been looking especially jacked lately

[@ScruffyLeKing]

His like 180lbs, he isn’t that jacked at all, his fluffy, obvs focusing more on hypertrophy and a lot of his stuff is just angles. He looks a lot worse than he did previously, when he was fighting also he was sus then but now he just looks like a average gym bro

[@HM-qe9pd]

Test bloat

[@SUPER8ALTERN8]

He's on that there celltech for his leg recovery, no doubt about it.

[@SUPER8ALTERN8]

Also he iss 100% going for money fights at 170 now so looking to walk around 190+, 155 has horrible matchups for him, honestly the whole thing is weird because the best version of Conor was at 145 but there's no chance he could make that weight class as he's gotten older, and he was half dead making the division as it was..

Greetings from Algostan!

[@user-pp5lo5ky4i]

Say if you had a power lifter only do deficit deadlifts for their training - if they then proceeded to attempt a max out single, would you expect them to lift more than if they had trained with normal deadlifts and if so, would it be significantly noticeable ?

[@ryanoconnell6617]

Crown Green Bowls next please lads ‼️

[@lemmiwinks48]

Good vid boys

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

Solid upload, dudes. 💪😎

[@YTho-ev1ej]

It’d be cool if you lads did specific training plans for for each sport i.e rugby. I’d love to buy a bundle of training plans i.e an off-season block, preseason block and an in-season block. It’d be good if speed and agility work was included too. Understandably this’d take tremendous amounts of work for guys but it could sell very well.

[@liamstephenson1686]

As they’d mentioned, there is no need because S & C for BJJ is exactly the same as S & C for Rugby. Get strong, build conditioning, do any sport.

[@viator22]

Such a frustrating sport to train for, with the combination of strength and force characteristics and the high technical ceiling in multiple unrelated subdisciplines. And it's weight classed!

[@viator22]

Something I've noticed over the years is judo guys. High level judo players tend to come in to mma throwing absolute bombs, probably because they have years of training for an extremely explosive rotational sport.

Bring on the force velocity curve - basketball edition.

[@karisbaker2901]

you had me with 'its not what you think' comment

[@postmaldernist1569]

Would love to see a segment on Parkour.

[@imaresurcher]

i once went to a kung fu class that taught to "train slow to move fast", they had everyone doing the "forms" in slow motion, sometimes bragging about how it took minutes to move their arm through the full ROM of a punch, as this somehow ironed out the kinks in their movement or something......

[@TheUcHiHaMaD]

Your first mistake was going to a kung fu class and thinking they would actually teach you how to fight lol

[@imaresurcher]

@@TheUcHiHaMaD i was only young, you can blame bruce lee for that

[@Cin9999]

Well that could maybe work for technique and its probably so dissimilar from the actual thing you want to do that it will not hinder performance…waste of time maybe. But yes kung fu aint the thing to learn how to fight just looks cool

[@adeelliftsstuff]

Same thing in judo too actually, learning how to execute the throw with picture technique before slowly increasing the pace

[@PhiyackYuh]

If you understand the saying slow is smooth, smooth is fast then one day you will know why the best makes it so effortless. Its because of their technique. Brute force wont take you that far. There’s a reason pacquaio can generate that much power from his punch at that height. Its because of his technique and using his hips to generate force.

[@kindathicc1609]

BOXING PLEASE

[@YTho-ev1ej]

Do rugby!! 🏉 🏉

[@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg]

What if I just get really strong abductors amd crush ppls ribs with my thighs

[@DeSpaceFairy]

Learn to execute quickly a triangle choke, that more efficient if your plan is get on your back during a fight. Unless they are femur, tibia or the knee that’s broke, determined people will still fight with broken bones or even with a collapse lung.

[@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg]

@@DeSpaceFairy but a triangle is a choke. I want to crush them with my abductors.

[@DeSpaceFairy]

@@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg good luck with that
