Aside from having the mental prowess and edge of a Gladiator, combat athletes need to develop freakish work capacity.
Developing high levels of work capacity are what allow one to have endurance in strength and speed. If one can only maintain a high level of performance for half of a match or fight, then it won't be long before someone matches their physical and mental will and takes them beyond what they're capable of!

Found this quote and wanted to pass it over to all of you.

Pain of sacrifice or pain of regret....Your choice

I tell my athletes all the time. One day its going to be over so never hold back on your training. When you hit the weight room or step on the battle field never hold back. Give everything you have and no matter what you will be a winner. So remember.

The choice is yours. The direction you go is now up to you.

Once you're splitting up your fats correctly (about 1/3 of your fat intake coming from each of the three types of fat), your next goal should be to balance out your omega 6: omega 3 ratio. Do this and you're arteries will be jumping for joy and they'll have less body fat around them to impede their jump height.

While most of you probably already know that the omega 6: omega 3 balance is critical, I'm sure many of you are wondering in you can balance out the 6:3 ratio without having to pour another tablespoon of flaxseed oil down the gullet?

How about trying some pumpkin seeds or flaxseeds? Pumpkin seeds provide a 2:1 ratio of omega 6 fatty acids to omega 3 fatty acids, increasing the EFA content of your diet while putting your fat intake back in balance. Also, adding flaxseeds to your diet is a good idea. Grind these seeds up in a coffee grinder and add to your meals. Flaxseeds provide fiber, protein, and a 3:1 ratio of omega 3: omega 6 fatty acids. Your arteries will thank you.

Here is a great clip from Coach Ivanov and the guys at up at the Olympic Training and Education Center.

Check out the work they do with the Bulgarian Power Bags.
