Most insane training stories you’ve heard?

[Tito Tapped]

“In the mornings I would train for about two hours. I would run seven miles; I would do 200 yard hill sprints, I’d go back and jog on the air dyne for 30 minutes and then I would do a half-hour sauna. In the afternoon I would go over technique wrestling. I would wrestle live for an hour and half-two hours, and then I would do conditioning again.

“In the night I would do my plyometrics, my isometrics, my heavyweight training and more conditioning. So I was doing nine to ten hours a day, every single day of the week. I took one day off a month and that was it.”

~ Kurt Angle

 

[Question]

Diego being used a punching bag.

Spoiler

Holy fuck I completely forgot about this.
This whole relationship was so odd and disturbing.

I'm glad Diega is away from that guy and seems to be doing better now.

 

[Vaanderdecken]

One of those things you see and immediately think this guy must be such a tool, but yet he was the champ. Can you really hate on what works?

I exclusively train this way now.

-Chuck Liddell would stare at the sun to get that look in his eyes.

-Matt Hughes and his brother would pound each other behind the barn.

-GSP would do ballet to perfect his riddum.

Dude would have been a monster in MMA

Tito Ortiz the savage trains six days a week... in fact he said, "“I train six days, actually six days a week. Five days a week, I'll train three days a week. One of those days I will train two days of the week. So, six days a week I will be training."

 

[Bend NvR Break]

The most insane training story I’ve heard (and I’d love for someone to confirm or deny this) was that Anderson Silva used to let his training partners literally punch him in the face… purposefully… and one time it was JUNIOR DOS SANTOS that was doing the punching.

that is insane if it’s true. What’s the purpose of this? Lol practicing rolling with punches?

Anyways, your turn!

He was training rolling punches. I remember that video actually. Anderson was the best in mma at rolling punches imo.

I never understood how you can be an accomplished college wrestler and not know what a bad idea this is.

 

[Celeron]

You believe this footage of him training on a baggage belt was significant in him becoming a champion?

Idk I can’t answer that question, only TJ can. But I’m sure he’s doing it for a reason, and the results proved he was doing something right.

 

[Celeron]

Good point, doing that and the same thing on the plane is for sure what made him champ.

Idk maybe, maybe it helped him stay mentally tough. Maybe it’s was a way of keeping his speed/reaction intact or at optimal levels as he travels for a fight.

Or you can take the Tony Ferguson approach and try and break your back doing deadlifts.

 

[deanambrose]

During sparring session Gamrot broke Masvidal's ribs just like he did to CDF in a fight.
He was KSW double champion - Featherweight and Lightweight who can bang with WW. Guy has potential.

That will be hard to do on the conveyor belt, but I will try. I bet I'd look totally badass.

Lion's Den had some great stories.
