Last week we welcomed a few new faces here at Bodytorque. This was expert Strength and Conditioning Coach Marco Mastrorocco (from Muscle&Fitness), professional photographer Brian Roberts and inner armour fight team manager Liam Axworthy . They had came to Bodytorque in order to write a number of different articles on fighter fitness for the magazine and the importance of athletic ability in a Mixed Martial Arts fight. As Sapphire MMA's strength and conditioning facility a number of the professional fighters came along for a workout with Marco while he explained the importance of fitness for MMA.
Bodytorque owner Chris Tomlinson warmed up the team with some simple jogging, dynamic stretching and plyometrics to activate muscle fibres.
Marco then took the reigns, set up and explained his circuit. It revolved around a number of stations with alternate strength exercises or plyometric jumps for 5 minutes (mimicing the length of an mma round) Full details of the circuit will be described in the article.
Marco then set up 2 more different rounds and the strain began to show in the team as everyone continued to put in 100% effort
Bodytorque would just like to thank Marco for coming all the way to Liverpool and showing us some new effective techniques which we now incorporate into our own circuits! A great friendly man we would love to have him back anytime!
We would also like to thank Brian Roberts for all 2000 photos he took on the day (to be uploaded on the Bodytorque facebook page), Liam Axworthy for some promotional Jaco clothing and all the team that put the effort in and worked hard in the training.
Overall a great day that everyone enjoyed, look out for us in the next few articles of fighting talk in Muscle&Fitness magazine.
