Ronda just defended her championship title again in 8 short weeks because to me she is the new gold mine for Dana. She has that serious stare down and B word persona. That's what Dana likes! Controversy and Bad assness which is good for the MMA world. She fought Sara McMann who looked good exchanging blows until they clinched up against the Octagon. Ronda used her Olympian Judo skills and switched to her Muy Thai skills with elbow and knee strikes which happened to bring Sara down on the floor like she was looking for candy fresh out a piñata! Herb Dean stopped the Fight at 1:06 and  some people/fans thought it was too early! Eh... It would of been nice to see another round at least!  It's becoming Mike Tysonesque with the first round wins! People want their money's worth.  Both Olympic Medalists, Rousey in Judo (my Fave in which I was biased for her to win) and Sara in wrestling! Sara is hoping for a rematch but we all wanna see Cyborg get a shot! Until th...

When I was a kid I heard about this football monster named Herschel Walker and how he never used weights just bodyweight . You know, pushups, pullups, situps, etc... It turned the 6'1 225 man into one of the greatest football running backs EVER!!! He also was doing MMA in his late 40's early 50s knocking young cats out. Even now in his 50s hes still doing the same exercises and looking shredded! He would do around 3000 situps, 750-1500 pushups, mix in somewhere 1000 pullups, 1000 squats, 1000 dips. THIS IS DAILY! Now I'm not saying go out there and match numbers with Herschel, even he had a low starting point and built the stength and endurance to do that. I've been doing this myself and I can say it's helped a ton with my strength and aesthetics. I still need my weights though just because I like to mix it up. But lets get some bodyweight training in guys and gals! Start somewhere like 100 pushups a day, 100 sit ups a day. Break them up to where you do  increme...

A few pics in Paradise. It was to good to go out for a sec and breath the good humid air of Hawaii. (Except for the pig excrement fertilizer by the sugar fields! Dammmmmn! Potent) Besides that, it was fun to hit the waves. Traveling changes you- the more Ive cared less about posessions (shoes, trinkets, never been big on jewelry, anything basically that you dont need to travel.) Just seeing and taking in where you're at, at that time is treasure enough. I fully understand why people surf, bodyboard everyday!!!! Hooked!!!

One of my KEY components to working out is my music selection and so I'm curious as to what other people listen to for that heart rate and adrenaline to go up. Studies have shown that people have more energy and better workouts when they tune out the world and start jamming to their fave artists. So I picked my brother, a future physique competitor, personal trainer, Derek a.k.a. D RocK and asked him what his favorite tracks were when hes working out and going for that PR on bench press. He prefers old school high tempo tracks that make you nod your head and put you in the zone. So I give you his top ten 10. Big Daddy Kane - Set It Off 9. Snoop Dogg - Pump Pump 8. Rakim - Follow The Leader 7. Rakim - Juice 6. Rakim - Dont Sweat The Technique 5. NWA - Appetite For Destruction 4. Big Daddy Kane - Nuff Respect Due 3. Connie - Rock Me 2. Kraftwerk - Tour De France 1. Paul Hartcastle - Rainforest And he said for corny measures put Joe Budden - Pump it Up in the ...
