Those bench presses on the ball can’t be good for your back.

BJ , the son marv wishes he had.
I wonder what todd is doing these days.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
Probably working at one of those restaurants he was never allowed to eat at as a kid.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
no tips at fast food restuarants
Pound for Pound top 5
1. Anderson Sliva
2. GSP
3. Fedor
4. BJ Penn
5. Lyoto Machida

Seriously...Is this the BEST BJ EVER?
…I think so.
The guy is in great shape. He has the cardio dialed in.
What is next for BJ? Bulk up and then another GSP shot?
I wonder if a stronger BJ could handle the much bigger stonger GSP.
???
I don't think so
What Marv has BJ doing is not going to make him stronger.
Marv barely makes his “athletes” move anymore than 25-50lbs. You aren’t going to get strong doing that.
Plus that accelerator machine he has his athletes use is plain retarded.
While this does keep BJ in shape because the workout are interesting and “fun” and that in a nutshell will make him more enthusiastic about training, he’s still not going to be as well conditioned and functionally strong as GSP.
Plus BJ is 0-2. Grease or no grease. Another fight would be no different considering we haven’t seen BJ’s so called new “conditioning” tested at a higher weight.
NO
I’m telling you what Marv is having BJ Penn do is not going make him strong. Which is what will be a significant determining factor if he decides to go back to 170.
Marv is a hack first and foremost.
He says his method of training activates the CNS, but that is bullshit because NOTHING stimulates the CNS like heavy lifting and Marv, like I said doesn’t let his athletes move more than 50lbs. If Marv is doing plyos and machines and cone drills, and not having his athletes do Max Effort exercises, they aren’t going to be strong.
If BJ wanted to get stronger and more functional, he would probably be better off working with someone like Mark Phillipi, Jon Chaimberg or Kevin Kearns
S&C
Strength and Conditioning are equally as important.
BJ needs more than a good gas tank to be able to hang with GSP.
So yes strength is a problem.

i think he will be ok
Hughes didn’t over power him. It will be fun to watch when he does move up. Cause im sure your boy will still be there. Who knows maybe they wont fight again. But i think he will win in WW div.
Until..
How do you know if Marv couldn’t make BJ bigger and stronger? BJ already looks bigger and stronger today at LW than he did against Stevenson or Sherk. Marv used to train NFL atheletes and we all know the size of most of those guys. So, basically until you’re part of that camp you’re opinion really doesn’t matter.
Greasy St.Pierre is a cheater.
It's not opinion
His methods have been proven to be bullshit my several studies. These aren’t just my opinions.
BJ doesn’t look much bigger at all to me.
Plus as I said earlier in case you weren’t listening or you just like to swallow the nutsack of anyone associated with BJ, Marv doesn’t make his athletes lift anything heavier than 50lbs.
You aren’t to get stronger doing that. FACT
SOUTHPAW447
COULD YOU PLEASE SHARE ANY OF THE “SEVERAL STUDIES” THAT YOU CLAIM HAVE SHOWN THAT MARV MARINOVICH’S TRAINING METHODS ARE “BULLSHIT” ,AS YOU STATED IN YOUR COMMENT ON 1-20-2010. THANK YOU !

Wont know until..
he clears out the LW division and starts racking up some WW wins impressively
Unfortunately his last showing against GSP is not giving too much weight into another rematch
I honestly think he’ll do alot better, i think he may have underestimated GSPs takedown/GnP last time
Not sure if he will win…but he definately has the style that can beat GSP, especially if he somehow can get on top of him
Everyone keeps saying
we wont know till he clears out the LW division. Whos left? Frankie Edgar ? Gray Maynard? If Diego Sanchez was to fight either one of them he be the favourite and look what Bj did to him. 155 is cleaned out. There is a ton of great fights for Bj at 170.
I would love to see Fitch vs Penn. If Bj really wants to test himself 170 is the true testing ground and im not even talking about GSP
