Mma Quick Strike Gloves
Mixed martial arts is a style of fighting that has become quite standard over the years. This kind of fighting is a combination of manynumerous various forms that many individuals have begun to train in for losing weight and combat competitions. Most individuals who are training in the mixed martial arts fighting type will utilize training gloves. These gloves are constructed to shield the hands – but likewise protect the people that you are fighting with.
The reason they are padded so well is because you don’t wish to take a chance that you or your sparring partner to become hurt for any reason. This is particularly bad when you have a fight coming up. Any small wound is enough to keep you out of the game.
Yet, when you are in the competition and trying to work for the title championship then it is time for the gloves […]

Okay, so today Gina Elko and Billy Frezza are fighting at the AFL Fight To The Finish VII, and I can’t wait to go see them drop their opponents, but to calm my nerves down until the match, a light entertaining video helps.
As you’ve probably imagined, the repercussions of the ridiculous KungFu vs MMA challenge were gigantic; Morrison’s video has gone viral and more and more people are commenting on the fight.
One of those comments pointed me to an even more stupid challenge – a “KIAI” master (whatever the heck that is) wagers $5000 that he can beat any MMA guy. Now, I had never heard of KIAI before, but it involves “air slaps”, something like the HADOUKENS that Ken & Ryu used to throw in the video game Street Fighter.
Can you guess what the result of the fight was?

It saddens me that this guy probably spent 30-40 years teaching […]

Peas are one of my favorite vegetables. Probably because I grew up on mushy peas (an Irish delicacy). When in season fresh peas are a delight but in winter months dried split peas come in handy. They’re not only convenient since they don’t require soaking, but they’re also high in nutrients and low in fat and calories.
If you are concerned about coconut milk, turns out it’s gotten a bad rap over the years. The saturated fat content in coconut milk has been shown in independent studies to be an easily metabolized good saturated fat, which means it does not transform into bad cholesterol, clogging up arteries. Using light coconut milk cuts the calories and fat by more than half, paving the way to a delicious healthy meal.

Most of you who are reading this are aware that sugar is bad for you. You’re also aware that most likely, you get plenty of sugar just by eating the healthy foods you like. You may not know that the American Heart Association has said that sugar is “associated with risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high levels of triglycerides, and high levels of C-reactive protein, which has been linked to oxidative stress and inflammation”, but you do know that your body doesn’t feel good when you consume a lot of sugar.

[The guy who made this animation has done a lot of really well made and hilarious animations. It’s amazing how much talent some people have!]
There’s one problem though. Despite knowing that sugar is bad for you…you can’t stop. You can’t bring yourself to go without putting sugar in your coffee in the morning, or stop yourself from […]

You design your own workouts.
You specify your reps and sets.
You modify your lifting tempo and your range of motion.
But, what about rest between sets?

Do you wait only long enough to catch your breath?
Or do you camp out underneath the squat rack having a nice long chat with your neighbor doing deadlifts?

Do you have any idea how long you should be resting between sets?
Well, according to the latest research, “the rest interval between sets is an important variable that affects both acute (short term) responses and chronic (long term) adaptations to resistance exercise programmes”.
The Study
Researchers reviewed 35 studies in which they examined both acute responses and chronic adaptations, with rest interval length as the experimental variable.
In terms of acute responses, a key finding was that when training with loads between 50% and 90% of one repetition maximum, 3-5 minutes’ rest between sets allowed for greater repetitions over multiple sets. Furthermore, in […]
