Matt Hughes Training

Saw this on his site, it's a layout of everything he eats and when he trains and what he does. His lifting sounds like a bodybuilding style routine with LSD running every morning, hmm...... Not insulting it at all, I just always think it's funny when pro fighters routines looks nothing like a Ross Enaimit book and their lifting is nothing like the S&P posters would approve of.

I remember him saying that too. He just said he takes a crap load of suplements to keep him healty and strong. He does do things like push vehicles and things. With his physic it is hard to believe he does not lift he is not only cut, but he is big. Mabye his lack of weightlifting is why he got over powerd by GSP. I also remember GSP saying he only lifts a couple of days a week

Well in fighting, conditioning and endurance are probably higher than strength in priority. Being able to squat 500 pounds doesn't mean much if you can't go 3 or 5 - 5 minute rounds. I can see why prize fighters would incorporate less lifting in their training.

Pro fighters sometimes succeed in spite of their training routines, not because of them. And what is optimal for one fighter may be useless or counterproductive for another.

FWIW.

Exactly. Hell, Juanito won't let Rampage have any supplements (not protein or a vitamin) because he considers them unnatural. I don't believe he touches a weight either. Makes you wonder how good some of these fighters could be with the right strength/conditioning coach.

In an interview Rampage says he doesn't lift weights anymore because they make him too big. Plus what these guys are doing is working for them.

Oh boy...haven't we done this before?
