Where will one store the stones/concrete and use them?

Majority of people live in urban areas throughout the world, I do agree however that they are a good form of exercise... Some of the newer MMA gyms opening up around here are specifially demanding buildings with access for space to pull tyres, push cars and so on...Just impracticle for majority of us who live in the industrial world.



So do nothing at all?

MMA is not the strong man competition, nor is it the bodybuilding olympics, therefore training accordingly to how you would fight is whats most beneficial.

Its quite rare in a fight i would push my opponent around,my fighting style is quite relaxed and energy preserving, preferring my opponent to use all their explosiveness and energy making it easier for me to dominate them in bjj.

I'm always getting comments from guys how my upper body strength is good and so on... not to brag but my bench press numbers and so on are quite embaressing, its just uing technique over strength when fighting that hides my true strength.

Whilst you're outside pushing your friends car i'll be learning new sweeps to get your ass off me whos just "Exploded"
