Fitness Tips
MMA Physique Training
Unique power movements and protocols make MMA Physique Training highly effective for our sponsored fighter Chance Ikei by his expert strength coach Chad Ikei. Engaging in a power-driven training phase at least once a year is crucial for any trainee aiming to improve body composition, functional strength and quality of life. Chance relies heavily on 100% MR to accelerate the recovery of his muscles and nervous system to maximize performance while using as many as 14 separate exercise sessions per week between weight training, conditioning and MMA training. 4 GCX10 30 minutes before training enables Chance to maximize power output and stamina with razor sharp mental focus without stimulants.
MMA Physique Training
Chance Ikei trains 10 to 14 times per week including weight training, conditioning and MMA sessions making accelerating recovery of the muscles and the nervous system with 100% MR extremely important. In addition to reduced muscle soreness elite athletes can know they are earning faster rates of recovery when they feel very sharp mentally. Crisp striking and hand-eye coordination rely heavily on accelerated recovery of the nervous system. As Dr. Serrano often tells athletes, the nervous system does not fully recover until the muscles do making the 100% MR pre and post training absolutely essential for professional athletes wanting to maximize competition performance.

Measuring the Quality of Sleep
Everyone should take note of how they are feeling when waking up in the morning to asses their quality of sleep. A professional athlete in tune with their nervous system can detect a lack of sleep quality fairly quickly during the first 30 minutes of the day. Chance relies on the Fat Reduce FBO5 night formula an hour before bed to help in relax and transition into restful sleep necessary for maximum rates of recovery and nervous system sharpness. Dr. Eric Serrano MD developed the Fat Reduce FBO5 night time formula for executives facing high levels of stress to improve sleep quality and to increase the utilization of stored fat as fuel during the sleep phase. Higher quality sleep reduces cravings for carbohydrate and makes proper exercise choices much more likely.

Avoid Stimulants
Elite strength and conditioning coach for numerous NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, NCAA and MMA fighters Chad Ikei suggests avoiding stimulants before training and competition. Raising the heart rate with stimulants before training or competition can take an athlete out of the optimal zone for performance while increasing stress hormones dramatically.
