The “Ultimate Vegas Workout”

By Vince On May 26, 2009 Under Fat Loss Training

The Ultimate Vegas Workout

by Guest Expert Craig Ballantyne of  Hardcore Turbulence Fat Burning Workouts

They entered the ring to rap, rock, old-school hip-hop, reggae, and even country-and-western, but the one thing every fighter at Saturday’s UFC 98 event had in common was a powerful athletic physique built from metabolic resistance training.

These modern-day warriors knew better than to do bodybuilding, because those workouts just take too long and leave you puffed up, slow, and inflexible.

That’s not how modern man should be – or look.

Instead, metabolic resistance training was the answer to the needs of these gladiators.

Circuit style lifting, bodyweight exercises, a no-quit attitude and total body movements made these men into the toughest athletes in professional sports today.

But here’s the thing…they showed a training video of Lyoto Machida, the new light heavyweight champion, doing a workout of smith machine squats and dumbbell hammer curls.

Frankly, I think both of those exercises are a waste of his time and probably don’t add anything to his vicious knockout power. Instead, I bet he gets more out of bodyweight circuit strength and endurance training.

When I work with martial artists – and almost any other type of athlete – we stick to the basic weightlifting exercises and spend more time on bodyweight exercises.

For example, here’s the perfect metabolic resistance training bodyweight circuit that will not only improve your physical strength and endurance for any sport, but it will also give you a killer beach body that will make you stand out in the crowd this summer.

If you want to get lean, build that V-shaped upper body, and essentially have the most bad-assed cover model body with the athletic skills to back it up, you can’t get better than this program.

- Go through the circuit 3-4 times.

- Rest 1-2 minutes at the end of each circuit.

- Rest as little as possible between exercises within the circuit.

1) Prisoner Squat – 20 reps

2) Close-grip Pushup – 15 reps

3) 1-Leg Squat – 8 reps per side

4) Pull-up – 1 rep short of failure

5) Bulgarian Split Squat – 20 reps per side

6) Spiderman Pushup – 12 reps per side

7) Bodyweight Row – 15 reps

As you get better and stronger, you can add resistance by wearing a weighted vest.

But if you’re not ready to give up all weights, but you want to do powerful circuits and supersets that combine my advanced bodyweight exercises with dumbbell exercises (that you can still do at home), check out my Hard-Core Turbulence Training Fat Burning workout programs here:

Thanks for great circuit Vence!
The only isuue:
1) Prisoner Squat – 20 reps I know what it is

2) Close-grip Pushup – 15 reps not sure but probably yes, can figure out

3) 1-Leg Squat – 8 reps per side – yes – clear

4) Pull-up – 1 rep short of failure – do reps until failure?

How many a times a week? For how long? What should be the rest period between these exercises?

pranav

May 26, 2009

Valentin–

2) Close-grip Pushup – 15 reps not sure but probably yes, can figure out
**”"Tricep Pushup” is another name–instead of elbows out in a regular push up the elbows go straight back parallel to the body just like the “tricep bench press”

4) Pull-up – 1 rep short of failure – do reps until failure?
** You kinda have to “know” you limitations and when you think you got 1 more full rep do it and that’s it.

5) Bulgarian Split Squat – 20 reps per side -what is this?
** Rear foot is elevated on a bench/couch

7) Bodyweight Row – 15 reps – not sure
** Basically you’re under the bar of a smith machine (waist height) with your body straight, heals on the floor. You Pull your chest to the bar then lower back down

prisoner squat wot way is that done?

Thanks Vince,
These are great! Being a female, they will not make me bulky, right? Just leaner and a more defined body.

Matt T

May 26, 2009

Linda those will not make you bulky. This is one of the training myths out there, that somehow women are going to get bulky from lifting heavy weights or certain training exercises. This is not the case. A woman is only going to get bulky if they are taking in more calories than their bodies need and so are building more muscle, or if they start taking supplements/drugs that raise their testosterone levels.

Craig Ballantyne is a genius. His Hardcore Fatloss program is the &*(&t! I guarantee you that you will get results from all his programs especially his hardcore fatloss program that combines everything from weight training, supersetting, circuits and BW resistance. Definitely a must do program if you really want to lean out.

I’ve done his program 3 times in the past year and got results from that program alone.

Is it okay to substitute lat pulldowns for pull ups?

Doug

May 26, 2009

Hey Vince. If you were going to compare Craigs program with one of yours, it would be closest to???

Drew

May 26, 2009

Could you put that in English, please?
What is a Prisoner Squat? How do you do a squat 1-legged? That just sounds like an injury waiting to happen. What is a Bulgarian Split Squat? What is a Spiderman Pushup? Honestly, this is supposed to be helpful? Speak English, troop.

Drew

May 26, 2009

- and pull-ups, is that grip away or grip facing yourself? Awaiting explanations.

Matt T

May 26, 2009

i respect this circuit alot more than when i first read through it…. b/c now i’ve done it. going through it isn’t tough but by that third time you repeat it, it’s pretty challenging, especially mentally. good job vince :)
