Suggestions For The Next Workout Of The Week?

[the_fake_webmaster]

What do you think would make a good topic for this section? What makes a good topic?

1. Members are able to give a long and detailed answer. It can't just be a question that can accept a "yes" or "no" simple answer.

2. A question should not have an obvious answer that nobody could debate. Example: "Should you bench press if you want to build your chest?"

3. It should be a topic that many people would be interested to learn about.

Note: Here are existing questions that have already been completed: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw.htm

What is the best workout for fighters/grapplers
^when I was wrestling and training hard.. I found circuit workouts to be the best because it burned off more calories, as well as plyometrics.

- What are the most important aspects of training for fighters/grapplers
^I focused mainly on power and explosivness in my legs core and back... a lot of wrestling is pulling. Also flexibilty for fighters and grapplers is always an advantage. So I would put more of a focus on stretching then usual


- Are there any supplements that would be useful for a fighter/grappler?
I used to cut lots of weight and days I had matches I had to lose 3-5 lbs of water weight to make weight I had to be carefful which supplements I was taking... so no creatine monohydrate or thermogenic pills anything the retained lots of water. For me vitamin c vitamin b complex and fish oils were great. ( because vitamins retain water I would not take them on match days) whey protein to keep strength and reduce muscle loss and soreness... I would have 5 small meals a day and always made sure to carb up for training.
- Have you ever competed in fighting/grappling, or used a workout like the one described here?
I have wrestled for many years and made cutting weight and maintaing weigth as healthy as I could... in the off season I would bulk up as much as possible with muscle because the more muscle I had coming in the season the easier it was to take the extra fat off... and not lose lots of muscle... hope this helps
