Popular MMA Strength Training Workouts

October 30th, 2009

The most popular strength training routine for MMA is probably Randy Couture’s barbell complex. Unfortunately, this is not a strength training routine, it’s more an anaerobic endurance routine.  That’s because the weight you use on the bar is limited by the exercise that you’re the weakest in. For example, if you have to do overhead presses in the complex, you can squat and deadlift much more than you can overhead press, so these movements won’t be done to a point that will cause an increase in strength. So make sure you incorporate true strength training into your MMA training program and you’ll get much better results than just using Couture’s complex.
