Greatest Training Montage Ever

With the buzz and excitement of the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight finally happening, perhaps the biggest fight ever, I cant help but think BOXING. Boxing has always been one of my favorite sports due to the immortal fighters such as Ali, Hitman Hearns, Tyson, Sugar Ray, De La Hoya, Roy Jones Jr and the list can go on. But what I admire is the training methods that these fighters go through. The pain and sacrifice it took to get them to the top. I can't think of any better training montage than the fictional ROCKY movies and the corny yet inspiring sound tracks that they came with. The running, jump rope, shadow boxing, calisthenics, weights, chopping wood, everything it took to make you one step ahead of your opponents. Inspiration at its finest!

You Probably never heard of the guy, but to the fitness and health nuts he may have come up in fitness lore. Reputed to have climbed up ropes with one hand, done the Iron cross with just one finger in each loop, record holding 1 arm chin ups, the 1 arm front lever and countless other "Moves" or exercises that entitle you to a certain respect in the fitness game. He was one of the ORIGINAL to do the "Bartendaz" style you can say or outside gymnasium guys you see on you tube today. Being a guy who loves these moves I cant help but represent and honor this Legend of amazing feats!!! All the moves that create awes in the gym or playground this guy mastered!

Muscle Up tips and Exercises

I'll never forget when I first stumbled upon Muscle ups in 2007 while going for a jog in the Marina in San Francisco. Some guy pulling up then dipping from the top of childrens monkey bars. I stopped from curiosity and asked the dude what he was doing and from then on I did research, you tubed and experimented with reckless abandon... haha. I practiced non stop (even injuring myself real bad in the elbow) and tinkered with exercises that would compliment my progress in this cool move. It wasnt long after that I could do them on command but it definitely took a lot of go's! Perseverance friends. Dont Quit. So here goes. 1. Weighted Pull ups and Dips- First off the muscle up IS essentially both or a combo of, so you have to be comfortable in doing the two said exercises already.

Reverse Grip curls- I LOVE these and definitely co-sign on how much th...
