Training for Warriors by Martin Rooney is the best sport specific book I have ever seen for MMA. It is great.
Adam
Where did you get this book?
Can you give examples? What's the warm-up section like, for instance?
Don't tell him Adam. If I had to order it, so does he!
jk:)
SOme awsome info on dynamic warmups for athletes.
Adam
I picked up mine at www.parisischool.com, I swear I got it about 4 days after I ordered. Very good book overall, I kind of wish there was more info on scheduling the workouts with your actual mat/ring time, but the deceleration and core training sections were great.

Crap, that place is 5 bucks less than the other one!

Thanks for the link Saxon, although it does me no good, as I already
ordered it from the other place:(
Mike
I will mail you back your usless 5 dollar bill.LOL Even the strippers did not want it.
Adam
THAT is the problem. It is 5 REAL dollars (US). That equates to a HUGE
amount in Canadian:)
$5 american in equal to $314.25 Canadian but only $15 worth of Euros.
Frog money? Interesting?
I don't know if I should take offence to that considering I have a Portuguese background (European) and live in Canada (which has french as a second language).
Anyway, I also ordered the book after checking out the website. I can't wait to recover from my ACL surgery so I can start using the training methods in the book to get back in shape!
Thanks Adam!
maybe i'll order it but i got too many things to read and watch right now
but yeah hurry up and get healed up so i can beat on you for a bit till you get work off all the rust from taking the long break :)
Fuck that book. I did a workout from it last night. It sucked. How is that a good book? I was wrecked after just 20 minutes. Tell me how that is a good book. The Time Traveller's Wife was a good book. It made me laugh, it made me cry. It was a veritable rollercoaster of emotions. Much like Garden State.
Garden state rocked! Looking forward to I heart Huckabees.
Life Aquatic looks great, Blade 3, THe Incredibles, The grudge.
Adam
The Incredibles looks hilarious!
8 months and 8 days until Batman Begins!!! Hopefully they will get this one right like the current Marvel films.
Wow....I'm such a nerd!

Bad leg and all, you wouldn't want to mess with me. I've been pulling a Clockwork Orange by watching every SBG vid and DVD I have over and over and over again without blinking for 2 months now and counting. I feel sorry for the first sap that comes my way and by the power of RORY SINGER I shall PREVAIL!!!
damn, was that too over the top?
What approach do they take towards weightlifting in that book?
"How is that a good book? I was wrecked after just 20 minutes. "
That sounds good. If Rory was wrecked after 20 minutes I'll be wrecked after 5. Ah yes, a 5 minute workout would be nice.
