The Sith Workout For MMA Strength And Conditioning
For today’s post I wanted to hand pick an article directly from the the archives. Today’s article is on The Sith Workout and I thought this would be a good pick since I wrote this article about three years ago!
I believe you will find it interesting as it’s just a workout, but it includes the skeleton of some of my programming that involves a complete combination of athletic performance conditioning and strength movements. To learn more about these movements continue reading and take advantage of joining my email list, or getting on my 90 day program here at the end! Enjoy…
Sometimes you just have to put your finger on the valve and let the pressure off. One way to do this effectively and in a positive manner is by taking your frustrations out on the iron in the gym. Here I’ve included a day’s training to incorporate a dual balance of both strength movements and athletic conditioning movements to enhance your performance and fitness for MMA, sport, and life! Make time for the Sith Workout to include into your day’s training.
The Sith Workout
The Sith Workout is great for helping you to build strength and athleticism. Keep in mind that this pre-programmed workout can be scaled to suit your individual ability and fitness level. You can scale the reps, intensity (weight), and volume so that you get the most out of the training. Furthermore, you may not be familiar with the terminology associated with all of these drills.
To resolve this I would encourage you to scroll down to the bottom to reference my 90 Day training program where you can gain access to all of these drills and more.

The Sith Workout: The Takeaway
Remember to scale the reps for your current fitness and ability level. Also focus on the quality and execution of the movement. Additionally gauge your recovery by allowing yourself just enough time so that you can perform a subsequent set with the same effort and ability as a previous set.
