[JonnyStead]

Sorry chaps it could be because I'm english and we're all screwed up between KGs and Lbs over here - but the figures you're all quoting, are they Lbs?

 

[Witchblade]

Yes.

I like this quote from Boyle:

Benching more than you squat is not something to be proud of. It's something to be ashamed of.

 

[danny81]

Yes.

I like this quote from Boyle:

thats wat i siad up there. but id rather have a nice upperbody then a lower body.

With that line of thinking, you'll continue to get your ass kicked in wrestling.

idc if i do good in wrestling. i told my coach in the beggining of the year. im not wasting anytime learning pins or pin defense because that is useless. i also told him im not gunna do takedowns looking up cuz then i could get choked out. etc. i told him. im prolly not guna win anyfights, but im gunna be able to beat any of they asses in a fight so its all good. ask anyone i have wrestled. i have a nasty takedown, takedown defense, and standup. my pinning is awaful. and pin defense is terrible

I'll take things that losers say for $500 Alex.

Why are you even on the team? Your team must be shitty as hell for the coach to have you on the roster. Do yourself a favor and start training your legs. Looks don't mean shit, it's all about performance. Weak legs will get you nowhere in MMA.

 

[Rubes]

yeah danny im going to agree with repro here you need legs for mma unless you wanna get your ass kicked all the time, and work on your pinning stuff for wrestling even if you dont want to it will help you learn how to stay on your toes when your sprawled out and such

im on the team because i want to get better at takedowns, sprawling, and standups. and i want to get stronger witout getting bulky and gross.

Getting strong legs has nothing to do with being bulky and gross. Strong legs will make your takedowns and sprawls all that much better, not to mention you are seriously hindering your strength potential by only training 1/2 of your body.

Watch GSP, or Josh Koscheck go in for a double. What is the active force behind those takedowns? Their legs. They don't stop moving their legs and driving until their opponents are either on their backs, or pressed up against the cage. Weak legs will get you nowhere in MMA.

 

[Rubes]

your legs wont get bulky unless you try to make them bulky or your gentetics are like mine and your lower body has alot of mass to begin with..

and listen to what repro just said its true

[Rubes]

As long as you work on it, it's gravy. Just don't neglect squatting and deadlifting. Your MMA career with thank you for it.
