Ficth has totally improved his athleticism. You can tell by the 6-inch vertical he has now, as opposed to the 4-inch he had in the first Alves fight.

It's a balance drill. It's harder than it looks.

Would anybody care to elaborate?

At least compared to a normal squat with weights. I mean he’s barely going parallel.

its how you become a ninja

WOW! Now he has some Ninja abilities. haha.
Fitch will always be a boring ass wrestler.

I never want him or his AKA buddies to get near the belt.

these are HARD

this is plyometrics – how much downward force do you think he’s generating from 2 and a half feet, he’s 185lbs+ – so maybe twice that … then finishing off with a jump from standing squat position

you guys try and do this – youll be surprised how challenging it is

by jerrolds on Mar 6, 2010 4:12 PM EST reply actions  

I agree

Plyos are hard as shit if you are doing them right.

by Party__Marty on Mar 6, 2010 4:19 PM EST up reply actions  

i joined just to say that is the worst execution of plyos i have ever seen

by Evan Whipkey on Mar 6, 2010 4:25 PM EST reply actions  

Gimme A Break

That is nonsense. Anytime you are using body weight against a solid surface that is “plyo”.

Fitch should be doing the exercise the other way around. Begin the exercise seated on a box and moving to a standing jump up onto another box would be a much more effective exercise.
That exercise in the video is pretty much senseless and does nothing really to condition the athlete.

Oh and BJ PennFan…after watching that last Penn video of him grunting and screaming while pushing 2 25lb plates tells me Penn is gonna gas in his fight against Edgar.

by NJMMAFan on Mar 6, 2010 4:32 PM EST reply actions  

i grunt with 95lbs

On my 100th rep

-This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

nope 285 is my 1 rep max

-This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

by PSYQO78 on Mar 9, 2010 4:08 PM EST up reply actions  

I think you missed my point

judging someone by them grunting and struggling isn’t sufficient cause to discredit their strength. At the end of my workouts I can barely lift the muscle group I was working out much less weight on top of that.

I'm doing plyometrics right now

My fat ass is pushing awfully hard against this bar stool. Fitch and me are workout buddies!

dont justify this guys lol this was useless

you know what else is hard? all training!!!! doesnt mean i need to see a video of every fighter doin 50 pushups or other crap like this. that was pitiful.

It’s not hard? Please post some vids of you breezing through a plyo workout. You think this was all the training he was doing? That being said, I don’t like Fitch’s style of fighting and the dude is such a non-athlete it’s not even funny. Would’ve been much more impressive with Koscheck doing the exercise.

by Party__Marty on Mar 7, 2010 1:48 AM EST up reply actions  

Squat jumps “exploding” is a great exercise, but i always thought it was suppose to be reps in 30-50 secs. Thanx Fitch!

by Dicks on Mar 6, 2010 9:06 PM EST reply actions  

Useless

I don’t get why Fitch is trying to become some kind of “athlete”

at the end of the day all he’s going to be doing is taking people down, laying on them and winning unanimous decisions, and he’s been doing that just fine without all this mumbo jumbo

by sudnvictory on Mar 7, 2010 9:07 AM EST reply actions  

WTF? Its not like this is the only exercise Fitch does. How much plyos did he do before even starting these ninja squats? Plus, you can hear I guy running him through the exercise, how is this on him at all?
Fitch vs Koshcheck—strictly business.
