Beef up to beat Mundine
Although he might be retired, Danny Green is looking for disciples. Join the crusade now!


Danny Green: Get strong enough to fight Mundine
“I’ve always had old-school methods of increasing my punching power, from sledge-hammering big tyres to dragging a car tyre on runs,” Danny says. “Three years ago I teamed up with fast4football.com, and they increased my punching power, explosivity and agility. I do two intense sessions a week in the gym, and finish the sessions with a run to blow out the lungs.”

1. Side-to-side rotations
“This is a bridging exercise to warm up as well as strengthen my core stomach and trunk muscles for stability. I do three sets of 30.”

2. Barbell rotations
“Follows my warm-up set to work my core muscle groups like the hips, stomach and obliques. Also great for balance. I do three sets of 24 rotations.”

3. From squat to full extension
“Starting in a squat position, I explode up using my quads and press the barbell up and out into a full extension. Do three sets of eight – and fast!”

4. Weighted punches
“In my boxing stance I hold the barbell near my face, then I throw an upwards punch, concentrating on speed and power. Three sets of 10, each hand.”

5. Chin-ups build strength
“They balance your frame by conditioning back muscles. Strong trap muscles can help the chin carry the load during a punch. Three sets of 12.”

6. Lat pull-downs
“Super-set your chin-ups with lat pull downs. Make sure the bar touches your neck to ensure correct technique. Three sets of 12.”

7. Leg presses increase leg power
“Punching power is drawn from your legs, so this helps. It may not feel like a fast motion,but it’ll make you burst out of the blocks. Three sets of eight.”

8. Tucks for spring and agility
“Many of the lower body muscle groups are worked with these. I make sure my knees touch my tummy every rep. Three sets of 15.”

9. A strong neck is essential
“You are born with the ability to take a punch, but conditioning your neck can help. I do 200 reps, up and down, side to side , face down and face up.”

10. Crunches and leg raises
“I finish each session off with these . A strong stomach is mandatory for any fighter. Three sets of 50 crunches and three sets of 50 leg raises.”

i think the lat pulldowns are horrible. i tried the russian twists and the barbell stuff at the gym before. i always felt weird because people were at me like i was retarded and the next day there was a note saying i cant stab the barbell into the corners anymore

ehh, IMO its better to stick to old school training.

Some of these techniques are good for general fighting. In fact, some of these excercises Bruce Lee did WAY before anyone else did for fighting.

Yeah I agree, I posted so we could criticise plus it had pics...

Then again it is something different.

one could say that Bruce Lee was a front runner for mma in that he taught that you should not have one style but adapt to any style of fighting.

WAR BRUCE LEE

Jack Dempsey was the frontrunner for MMA.

"Dempsey wrote a book on boxing, Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense, which was published in 1950. Dempsey was also something of a cross-trainer, he wrestled in training camp and later took judo lessons. He later wrote a book on this, How to Fight Tough, which dealt with close-quarters combat incorporating boxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu."

Look ven you are now famous
