Rich Franklin Training Suks!
Ok, I've been going on about Richard Franklin the FORMER UFC champion (got beat in the last UFC to become former UFC champ) and how his training suks the big fat one!!
Don't send me hate mail please, let me explain. First I like watching Rich Franklin I think he's a good professional fighter. I just think his training is what most would consider "hard core" which it is, but that doesn't mean it's effective!!!
Take a look at this video clip then let me tell you why it suks the big fat one!

Why Rich brudda your training suks!!
1) What the hell are you doing on MACHINES? I've gone on about this topic soooo many times. Machines don't replicate what we do in the sporting world, they were commercialized in the 80's from bodybuilders. They need to stay with bodybuilders!!
> Machines don't replicate battle in the ring therefore leaving you very
> little transfer from gym training to real life combative sports. Do
> you compete while seated in a machine that's bolted to the floor?
> The Central Nervous System (CNS or brain) functions in movements & not
> muscles. Do you kick thinking about which muscle to activate first or
> do you just focus on the movement? Exactly the movement and not every
> individual muscle you use to fire for a kick!
> There are three planes of movement - forward/back (Sagital), lateral
> (frontal) and rotational (transverse). These are the directions the
> body can move; machines work the Sagital plane only!
> If you compete standing up then you want to train standing up and not
> fixed to the floor!
> Machines require no stability of the joints or activation of the core.
> This means you increase the risk of injury due to lack of joint
> stability from training in a seated position.
2) The coach said, he needs strength and strength endurance? Yes he does, but the way that he was training has very little carry over to actual combat strength and strength endurance! It's fake strength and strength endurance for the gym not the ring!!
3) If you are doing 8-15reps and you are peaking before an event because you are focusing on POWER endurance. Make sure you are doing the reps FAST to ensure you train power endurance. 8-15reps are training the slow twitch muscle fibers due to the amount of time it takes to do them. So to counter the fact you are training to be slower because of the 8-15reps, you do the movements as fast (safely always)as possible to minimize the time under tension!
Benefits of this workout:?!
1) Mental Toughness; this style of training will breed a strong mental toughness because you are almost breaking your as$ every time!
2) No Pain No Gain! Made by an idiot for idiots!! Combat people always believe they need to be smashed or else the workout suks! Really? Some times you need to hurt in practice the key word here is SOME times, don't associate pain with success, associate performance with results!!
I firmly believe that the combat world is miles behind in OPTIMAL combat training, they follow tradition, rocky movies or what their Combat coach says because that's what he did when he was fighting. I believe in tradition if it provides results in today's world!
Hurt in Practice so you Don't Bleed in Battle!

Cool points spida
Good points but is that all he does??? That's 3 hours out of 168 in a week. Surley it has its benefits like muscular endurance etc and im sure his other training hours are comprised of sport specific training. If not then yeah it is stupid but if it isn't all he does then i can't see too much wrong with it. Unless i missed something?!?!?!
I've never seen him fight but reading the comments made about him on youtube he's not that great a fighter so maybe he needs to spend a bit more time on that side of training.
That's just my opinion on the matter :D.

Is that all he does? The point is its wasted time regardless what else he does.
Add up recovery time and hard work outs are a lot more than a few hrs it take to do them.
