The Muscle Shark

Sean Sherk's grueling workout routine includes something he calls "caveman training"

We should have known better than to try and fit Sean "The Muscle Shark" Sherk's complete workout routine in our May 2008 issue, but we tried anyway. And man, did we fail. Since Sherk trains twice a day, six days a week, doing everything from striking and boxing to weightlifting, cardio, and specialized conditioning drills he calls "caveman training," we could only squeeze so much into print.

"No matter how sick the workout is, he does it without question or hesitation," says Scott Ramsdale, owner of Athletic Performance Inc. "When I train Sean, he works at an unbelievable level for almost 30 minutes, with his heart rate ranging between 170 and 185 bpm. Most people cannot tolerate this type of pain and intensity for five minutes, let alone 30 minutes. It takes a special, almost demented type of athlete to train at this level. Sean is one of those athletes."

Sherk will look to regain the UFC lightweight title when he takes on champion BJ Penn on May 24. "I still feel like the belt's mine," says Sherk, who was stripped of the title after failing a test for performance-enhancing drugs following a title defense over Hermes Franca last year. Sherk is finishing up his six-month suspension, which was reduced from a full year after he appealed.

"You know, I feel like he's got to beat me to be champ, that's my feeling on the whole thing," says Sherk. "I think it's going to be a war. We both feel like we own that belt, and we're going to go out there and see who the real champ is."

Below, check out Sherk's complete routine that will lead him up to the fight. One warning, though: If you're not an elite athlete, skip the monkey-see, monkey-do thing with this one.

Directions:

Lifting
Ramsdale: "Sean supersets everything together to get as much work done in the shortest time possible, and to elevate his heart rate as much as he can during all of his workouts. He will usually do eight to 12 reps in four to five supersets, with no more than one minute rest in between them."

Resistance Shots
Ramsdale: "Sean does resistance shots with a large belt around his waist, attached to two strong elastic cables with handles. A partner stands behind him, providing resistance. As Sean does the repeated shots, the partner moves forward slightly. Sean does these straight ahead to improve the speed and strength of his shots. He'll start by doing two to three sets of 10 to 12 reps, but then, as his conditioning improves, these numbers go way up."

Handelt es sich bei dem Video um das, wo er am Morgen 30 oder 40 Tabletten Steroide & co einnimmt?

jetzt ja wahrscheinlich nicht mehr

[websensei]

Zitat von ivo c. jetzt ja wahrscheinlich nicht mehr

Stellt sich nur die Frage, ob er ohne Steroide & co. auch so hart trainieren kann, wie er es in diesem Video getan hat . Seine einjährige Sperre müßte doch auch bald rum sein, oder?

Ja vor allem weil die ja auf 6 Monate verkuerzt worden ist...

Das ist ein riesen Haufen Mist.
Seine Trainingsroutine sieht so aus:

Nur Stoff reicht aber nicht, man muss auch trainieren

BJ 2.0 macht ihn so oder so platt.

mit ansage sogar...

[Sam Fisher]

Es wird sich weisen...

Bestes Beispiel Bob Sapp der Ernesto Hoost 2 mal besiegt hat.

Was willst Du damit sagen? Das Bob Sapp nicht trainiert hat?

Sicher, die Muskeln waren morgens einfach da!

ich hoffe zwar, dass BJ gewinnt
aber gegen Shrek wird er es sehr schwer haben.
Shrek ist noch nie submitted worden und wenn BJ
das nciht in den ersten beiden runden schafft...

mag sein, dass der olle shrek steroide genommen hat,
aber dass er es auch drauf hat kann man nicht bezweifeln.
er ist nur unbeliebt, weil sein stil laaangweilig ist

also wenn BJ nicht in noch besserer Form antanzt
als zu seinem TUFfie fight, dann könnte es böse aushgehen
und wir haben Shean "the hero of time" Sherk als LW-meister,
und das wollen wir doch alle nicht
