Thank you, Martin Rios, for your valuable guidance and training tips on your KZbin channel. Your expertise has helped me become more athletic and improve my football skills significantly.

[@DonkeyEMakesYouWiserNow]

Your partly the reason why I got into martial arts and it made me and everyone I know happy, my parents are very proud of me, and I’m getting more fit because I ditched the bodybuilder workouts for athlete workouts

[@velja193]

Hey Martin, first of all, thank you and your brother for everything you do, you're helping me improve and get stronger every day. I have a question. I would like to start training MMA, but since I don't have time for it now (school), I'm currently training in the gym and I have made a whole performance based program thanks to your videos, but I struggle to make it perfect since, as we can see in this video, there are so many great exercises and I don't know which to choose. The program is currently based on the Upper/Lower split and a rest day after every workout day because I'm training with really high intensity. How do I choose the best exercises and should I change the exercise variations every session? (eg. today I do push-ups, next time I do bench press etc.)

[@MMAFotball]

I Also train with very high intensity and always get cramps clearly I need Martin rios program

[@p2wg1llia]

Hey martin whats ur opinion on the standing cable bench press

[@mthurnherr9372]

Dear Mr Martin I have a question about training your core. To what extent do we need core isometrics? I feel like on any other muscle we ignore isometric training, but for core it is prioritized. Do dynamic exercises not train the core? Like if I get good at sit-ups wont that strength also translate to stability as well? Or is it about total motor unit recruitment/teaching your body to be stable? And if we need to do both how to do you recommend to train both?

[@Inbound66-KB]

Question. Dose Leon Edwards do ladder drills in his plyometrics training routine or is it good to add ladder drills in a plyometrics workout routine (please respond Martin Rios)😁

[@ThehollyJesus041]

Martin what’s ur opinion on doing squats heel Elevated for squats for more emphasis on quads or is regular squats fine ?

[@AGON17]

Mario talks like he’s in the club Martin talks like he’s giving a speech

[@SamuelHove]

Love the long form content keep it up

[@gamedevperson]

Isometrics keeping you big as hell

[@iceysportscards9395]

I’ll do one push-up for every like this comment gets 😅 (checking back in 3 days)

[@MMAFotball]

but do different versions so you can also get a full body workout. So do burpees and stuff

[@MMAFotball]

Do 5 per like

[@joshgleeson765]

does anyone have a routine with set days for this workout keeping in mind mma training and BJJ?

[@user-1893zone]

Would you like do the Legs on one day, the Push on one day and the Pull on one day or do everything on every day. Should i do a Full Bodyworkout or split it?

[@jackjanaszak2842]

What do you think of kneesovertoes guy? You like his content? Is it useful?

[@nefu7]

is training shoulders rotators worth it for martial arts?

[@iceysportscards9395]

This is why Leon Edwards and Martin Rios are the most aesthetic men on the planet

[@harami8259]

How do I split these exercises, balancing them with my boxing routine which is 6 days a week?

[@Snorlax-th6tl]

3-4x a week is all you need. It should improve your boxing. Get plenty of rest between sessions and always prioritize boxing over a strength & conditioning session

i never realised that Mario was jacked dayum

[@Bolejokoyal099]

Can you sum up his whole workout

[@Rankoreh]

this training routine includes a lot of cardio so i was wondering if im "forced" to fight at my natural weight class or is there any way to get heavier (i dont wanna look like O'Malley)

[@Nirakuru]

Gain muscle, tf? You can't change your weight unless you bodybuild in some way, bud.

[@Rankoreh]

@@Nirakuru but that wouldnt be my natural weight class

[@Nirakuru]

@Rankoreh Then stay the bodyweight you're at. You likely don't even have enough muscle on your frame, so I highly doubt you'll be able to reap any of the benefits from "maingaining." So, please, tell me this. Why are you asking, "Is there any way to get heavier?" When you want to stay at your natural weight class? These statements contradict each other. Either you put on muscle or fat to get heavier, or you don't.

[@Nirakuru]

@@Rankoreh I guess you're forced to fight at your natural weight class. Unless you wanna pull a Sean Strickland and put on more mass to fight in the middleweight division.

[@asiabluedragon5321]

[@lostwanderer5712]

So basically the difference between training like an athlete and training like a bodybuilder is that athletes perform reps faster ?

Lifting is bad it's how you train when Lifting I learned after seeing Phil Davis and Jon Jones

[@gmbrown7247]

You have way too strong of an opinion on certain workouts. Machines are fantastic for athletes who have over trained/injured certain body parts. Using equipment for certain lifts helps individuals with limiting factors. You make it sound like people who use this stuff is beneath you and that completely drowns out the wonderful information you have.

[@alexpancho2075]

You just can't say bodybuilders are stupid just by doing a certain movement or routine. you need to understand it's a different sports.

[@porkwop9171]

@@user-we4vc8ix4z leon isnt powerful enough. Costa is faster, stronger, more explosive, and didnt gas out like these rios goofs would like to say. Leon is a more skilled fighter, but costa is a much larger and more powerful man. Besides i was talking about their physiques. Rios twins are lying if they say they would rather look like leon instead of costa
