Why Is Physical Fitness Important?

Frank "The Crank" Camacho — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:11:57 +0000

Exercises Help Improve Your Strength

You’ll need to incorporate some traditional gym exercises into your routine. Squats and dead lifts are vital to your routine. Clean and press exercises and snatches are important as well. Overhead squats and snatches are good to include. Exercises that incorporate a full body workout but focus on core strength are important to include in your workout. Exercises such as yoke carries, sled drags, and strongman lifts are beneficial. Bodyweight exercises are excellent ways to develop functional strength. These are options like pushups and pull-ups, dips and lunges and even handstand pushups. If these exercises are easy with your body weight, you’ll have the option to add weight.

When you’re looking at exercises and considering them for use in your strength workout, you’ll want to look for exercises that have a heavy focus on developing core strength. You’ll also want to look for exercises that move across two or more joints and exercises that move through more than one plane of motion. Look for exercises that are dynamic and that incorporate elements of balance and coordination. Choose exercises that have a heavy focus on bodyweight. These exercises are generally very effective and safe.

Whats up SpyCammers?!?!

Starting the week off with awesome leg workouts. When we were doing the leg exercises you could really feel your core working. Core strengthening helps with everything we do here at Lloyd Irvin’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy…
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
Brazilian/Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Wrestling
Judo
Combat Sombo
Submission Wrestling

I always thought working out your core all you had to do were crunches! I WAS WRONG…

ONE HUNDRED Rep Workouts + 5 Workouts = 500?! WHATS GOING ON?!?

Frank "The Crank" Camacho — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 05:14:41 +0000

Ok… so Strength & Conditioning Coach D’Angelo Kinard said we are on a “building phase.” Whatever that is supposed to mean we did 5 different workouts with ONE HUNDRED reps each! 500 Total Reps! WOW!

I don’t know how everyone feels but my upper body is telling me that it was one heck of a workout… I love the feeling of being sore knowing your body is rebuilding to be faster, stronger, and more endurance!

On a side note… LADIES!!! Have you heard of Lloyd Irvin’s SuperWoman Fitness Bootcamp? The “SGT” Ms. Alyshia Branson has lost over 80+Lbs and has her mind set on helping others!
She joined the Strength & Conditioning Class with the Pro MMA Fighters, Muay Thai Competition Fighters, and BJJ Competition Team today. She is no joke! She knows exactly what it takes to lose weight! Click on the link above for more information.

This Is Why You Should Wrestle!

Frank "The Crank" Camacho — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:06:19 +0000

Another day in the combat athlete room at 5:30PM for Wrestling Class. The last time the SpyCam was in the wrestling room, a lot of the students were doing a load of drilling and sharpening up on their wrestling fundamentals. ONLY a few weeks later… All these guys & gals are wrestling live playing games like “King of the Hill.”

Its nice seeing guys that wrestled in college and high school coming in to these classes wrestling with the TEAM. Not only are they getting good matches in… they are also bringing the level up in the room. Go Get It!

Check out the video below to see what I’m talking about…. Enjoy!
