- Spade914, on 10/11/2008, -3/+19How is this front page? This was for the Liddell fight....last year
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -5/+19That snorkel doesn't stand a chance.

- dha07030, on 10/11/2008, -1/+11His fights against Rampage Jackson are awesome.
Edit: all his fights are awesome. - IgorUnchained, on 10/11/2008, -1/+6Since Wanderlei is a proven fighter who has defeated my favorite fighter three times, I wont put the work out down.
I understand the lactic acid science and how important it is to work out to exhaustion (simulated or real), but it
is VERY important to learn how to breathe properly during a fight and I wonder if this kind of training will
have Wandy breathing through his mouth only during a fight.
Interesting vid....thanks for posting it. - voomfoo, on 10/11/2008, -1/+6The pic for the article reminds me of the sand people from episode IV.

- mitchlourens, on 10/11/2008, -2/+6that's what a simulation is dumbass.
- Peko, on 10/11/2008, -2/+6it's a weight jacket.
- robertdrysdale, on 10/12/2008, -1/+4I currently train with Wand as well as with his strength coach, Rafael Alejarra.
Rafael is a truly AMAZING strength coach. He is currently preparing me for
my MMA debut. The snorkel training is VERY intense. I wish I had Rafael
in my corner when i was competing in Brazilian Jiu-Tournaments!

- ThunderDigger, on 10/12/2008, -1/+4No, not really. Altitude training is not about the amount of air in your lungs but the volume of oxygen. It's the "thinness" of the air than creates this effect. Also, pretty much everyone agrees now that it is not training high, its living high. This is why nike built the altitude tents. Live high, train low.
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -5/+8You are ***** retarded.
There are people all over the place who go to train in higher altitudes because it does the exact same thing; limit oxygen, and build lactic acid faster. High altitude training = training in high altitudes, it doesn't mean that you;re necessarily training FOR high altitudes. - OpCzar, on 10/11/2008, -3/+6Or:
http://www.stalker-game.com/en/?page=snork - jseres, on 10/11/2008, -1/+4Your an absolute idiot. When did Wanderlei ever say that bare knuckle fights toughen up your skin? Just because he participated in them doesn't mean he ever said that.
Not only is Wandy one of the hardest working MMA fighters he also has one of the most scientific work outs. And not to mention the fact is that he is good friends with Anderson Silva, that's one of the reason's why Anderson doesn't want to go up to LHW permanently. He was also in Wandy's corner during the Liddel fight. - bodegit, on 10/11/2008, -1/+4As a runner, I know that altitude training is beneficial because you get less oxygen to the blood, so more lactic acid goes to your muscles. Then when the lactic acid subsides, this tells your body to produce more red blood cells in your muscles. These carry oxygen. So more red blood cells means more aerobic capacity, this theory is what blood doping is based on. I don't know how proven Silva's methods are, but in theory, this should replicate altitude training. He used to carry weights underwater thinking it would help him aerobically too.
- FullMetalNIN, on 10/11/2008, -4/+6Favourite fighter. I tried to mimick this circuit, snorkle included, but almost died. I'll stick to posting comments on digg.
- jawagas, on 10/12/2008, -0/+2Well played Dotcommer.
- jseres, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3War Wanderlei!
- eschompthis, on 10/11/2008, -3/+5yeah that's nice..... so.. who's the chick?
- goon5000, on 10/11/2008, -3/+5you licked his ass?
- ness0013, on 10/11/2008, -2/+4What a BEAST
- wandpage, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3that was for the Liddell fight.
- inactive, on 10/13/2008, -0/+2Man, i've been living high for years and didn't even know it was beneficial.
- coopdiddy, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3If only you spelled it right....
BTW, its crocop.
And if you really want to impress someone, his name would be
Mirko Filipovic - Killmaster, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3yeah, I never planned on getting into the UFC or anything like that. I just trained cause it was more fun than traditional working out.
- Wisgary, on 10/12/2008, -0/+2He just wants to start a fight with the snorkel, have a hard time, pause the fight, smile, then say something like "I guess I'll have to fight at full power", take off the snorkel, and then decimate his opponent.
- demne, on 10/12/2008, -0/+2It's hypoxia training to simulate high altitude.
- demne, on 10/12/2008, -0/+2Its Rachel Leah of inside the UFC
- whoreable, on 10/12/2008, -0/+2I usually do it in the opposite order. Jerk then Clean.
- JigoroKano, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3Funny you mention Kuk Sool Won given the topic of MMA
Gary Goodridge: Well, there was a Kuk Sool Won club in my area, and I told them I wanted to go into the UFC. They had a little 158 pound guy that wanted to go as well. They had a little donation thing to help this guy out too. Now, people are coming in to support the gym or whatever, giving change here and there trying to help this guy go to the UFC. I was thinking "This guy's 158 pounds!" And at the time, the UFC didnt have weight classes. He just wanted to go and try to beat up somebody. So, I'm 260, 275 lbs at the time, and I'm thinking, "You know, I could wrap this guy up into a pretzel and have him down on the grass sucking himself off in no time at all!" So I said "You know what, I'll beat up your boy, then I want all that money, and I'm going to the UFC!" So we had a little sparring session, and of course, I was on top of him all the time. I didn't know what do to, I was just on top of him. So we just wrestled around until we got tired.
...
So they said, "Are you goin to the UFC?" I said, "Yeah, I applied." They told me if I got in I could represent them, and they'd give me a 4th degree black belt. I said "No problem! I want it legal though, I want the paperwork." So they got me the paperwork for it from the Grand Pubah of Kuk Sool Won, from Korea, and he let me know I was the man. And about a month and 12 days later I was fighting in the UFC!
Sherdog.com: Wow, that's incredible. You wore the gi, was that part of the deal?
Gary Goodridge: I started training at the [Kook Sul Won] place about a month and a half before the UFC, and I started training in a gi, because Royce Gracie was in a gi. I was trying to assimilate what he was doing. My background was as a puncher, I'm a striker. I was trying to assimilate the gi, which was a far cry from what I should have done, but I didn't know that at the time. I thought "Hey, I'm a grappling expert!" So I went in the gi because thats all I had trained in.
Sherdog.com: So how long did you actually train that discipline?
Gary Goodridge: Kuk Sool Won? I may have trained a class or so.
Sherdog.com: Heh, so there was no Kuk Sool Won in the UFC huh?
Gary Goodridge: No. - Raynjamin, on 10/12/2008, -0/+2"Oh I made an ass of myself? In that case, that was a joke. my bad, guys."
- BlueStarr, on 10/12/2008, -0/+2And he lost the fight he was training for when this aired.
- pyngthyngs, on 10/13/2008, -0/+2I think he's training hard for the Silva/Kimbo ticket
- ienable, on 10/11/2008, -2/+3yes he is an extreme athlete for training like this but it seems like the video is looping because they replay the same scenes over, and over.
- march1, on 10/12/2008, -1/+2This guy is the all time MMA Bad a$$ - no one hurt more dudes more brutally then this guy.
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -1/+2You stupid *****, it's a play off my real last name you *****.
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -1/+2Tasty!
- Evolutuon, on 10/11/2008, -2/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1mfxGd0YCw
- Tweekster, on 10/12/2008, -0/+1makes sense. Vince gironda taught a hyperventalition method, breath thru the mouth etc.
- 83457, on 10/11/2008, -1/+2Check this out. Similar concept but a bit more high-tech from my understanding
http://www.brandonverablog.com/blog/?p=49 - telnet, on 10/12/2008, -0/+1yes he is an extreme athlete for training like this but it seems like the video is looping because they replay the same scenes over, and over.
