Randy Couture Workout Circuit

If you have been researched the Randy Couture Workout like I have you will find that he relies heavily on circuit training.  Circuit training is a series of exercises done in succession without resting.  It is a great way to increase your endurance and your conditioning.  People often get caught up with the fact that you don’t use a lot of weight for circuit training, but that is not the point.  Here is a video of Randy performing his Grappling Circuit.

Randy Couture Workout Grappling Circuit

1. Bent Over Row
2. Upright Row
3. Military Press
4. Good Morning
5. Split Squat
6. Squat to Push Press
7. Stiff Legged Deadlifts

Each exercise is done for 8 reps, and all exercises are done in continuous motion.  When you first start out 95lbs may not sound like that much, but keep in mind Randy does 6 rounds.  He also rests for only 60 secs between rounds just like when he is fighting.  That is 56 reps per round, and 336 reps if you live through all 6 rounds.  By the time you get to the 300th rep that 95lbs has gotten MUCH HEAVIER!!

Couture uses this circuit several times a week.  So there is one of the secrets of how a man pushing 50 is in better shape than most people half his age.  Having said that, there is more to the Randy Couture Workout than just circuit training.  His grappling circuit is just one piece to the puzzle.  There will be more secrets revealed in future posts about how “The Natural” uses his MMA Training to be in phenomenal shape year round.
