If So, Then Let Me Show You How These MMA Workout Programs Will Build KICK-ASS Strength, Power, Endurance, Conditioning & Athleticism...So That You NEVER Lose a Fight Because You're Out of Shape

Dear fellow MMAist,

Thanks for stopping by Working Class Fitness.com.

You spend all your free time with your mixed martial arts training. You get up early to run. You diet to cut weight. You do hardcore workouts in the gym. You stay in Friday night to rest up for your sparring early Saturday morning. You dedicate yourself to MMA, and your discipline is so crazy, your friends make fun of you. Don't make the mistake of not taking your mma workout programs seriously. All the dedication and training in the world won't make a bit of difference, if you're sucking wind in the last round...

My name is Matt Wiggins - aka "Wiggy" to most of my buddies. I've been training and designing workout programs for over 15 years. In that time, I've seen and tried pretty much everything - usually more than once. My knowledge has come the "hard" way - by experience, hard work, and trial and error. When I put together a workout program, it because it's something I've used before - not something I read about and thought would be "a good idea." I never ask anybody to do something I haven't - or won't - do myself.

I don't just know what works for me, however. I've designed workout programs for soldiers, police/law enforcement/firefighters, professional fighters, doctors, gym owners, football players, soccer moms, high school kids, and everybody in between. I've written three books (which have sold all over the world) and published over 50 articles all over the internet. I currently write a Strength & Conditioning (S&C) column for mixed martial arts training at MMA Weekly.com, and am a S&C moderator over at mma.tv - the world's largest mixed martial arts training internet forum. In fact, while spending a year in Iraq, a Regional United States Embassy asked me to hold a seminar during a 2006 World Cup Celebration. I was asked to discuss basic fitness and muscle building to local Iraqi children (between 6-14 years of age)! In other words - I know my stuff.

I don't want to bore you with a bunch of slick ad copy or "over the top" marketing hype, so I'll cut to the chase...

Catch Wrestling Legend Karl Gotch once said that "Conditioning is the Greatest Hold." What he said is true. All other things equal, Mixed Martial Arts comes down to conditioning. Don't believe me? Ask Tito Ortiz about his loss to Frank Shamrock. Ask Mark Coleman about his loss to Mo Smith. Ask Royce Gracie about his loss to Kazushi Sakuraba. Ask BJ Penn about his loss to Matt Hughes. Hell, even ask former undisputed 140-lb. boxing champ Kostya Tszyu about his loss to Ricky Hatton. One way or another, all those fights were won because one guy was in better condition, and used that to find a way to beat his opponent. If you're in better condition - especially later in the fight - you have an advantage.

MMA is now a game of weight classes. For the most part, when you climb into the ring or cage, you're going to be up against a fighter the same weight you are. Now, say that you have the strength and power to totally dominate that weight in every way imaginable. You can pick up a barbell of that weight, a couple dumbbells equaling that weight, or an "odd object " (barrell, sandbag, training dummy, etc.) of that weight. You can pick the weight up from awkward angles, carry it, hold it, slam it - whatever. Think of the highlight reel slams of Matt Hughes and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. THAT is strength and power!

Now think about this - what if you could combine that superior conditioning with that crazy strength and power? Think that would help your mixed martial arts training and help you be a better fighter? Damn straight.

What I've got is WORKING CLASS FITNESS - THE PROGRAMS . WORKING CLASS FITNESS - THE PROGRAMS is six, 8-week workouts specifically designed to train mixed martial artists to be able to totally dominate their bodyweight. Each workout is a total workout, in that all everything is covered - strength, endurance, overall conditioning, work capacity, and more.

The difference between each of the workout programs is that while they're all total martial arts strength and power training progams, each has a different specific focus. That way, you can attack your weaknesses while still maintaining (and even improving) your other strength, power, and conditioning needs. It doesn't matter where your mixed martial arts training is lacking - it's covered in these programs.

I don't need to tell you how increased strength, power, and conditioning will benefit your MMA training. But just in case you're wondering, let's take a quick look at each workout program and how it will help you improve your game:

So what are the workout programs like? Well, here is a "Table of Contents" (so-to-speak):

Program #1 - Overall Body Strength, Power, Conditioning, & Athleticism

While it's true that you can start with any of the six workout programs you like, I usually recommend starting out with this one - esecially for mixed martial arts training. This will test you across the board - strength, power, cardiovascular and muscular conditioning, how hard you can work, and even mental toughness (what I like to refer to as "testicular fortitude"!). If you can't handle this workout, then you're probably gonna have a tough time in any sort of hard fought MMA.

Program #2 - Lower Body Quickenss & Agility, Overall Strength & Power-Endurance, Explosiveness, Arm Size

Here's where power gets built, and gets built to go for a while. Sure you're strong, but are you quick? There have been plenty of strong guys in the ring, but how many could move? There's nothing slow going on in the cage/ring. You don't want to be slow, either. You'll not only have that strength to take down, punch, flip, etc. your opponent, but have that "SNAP" to do it before he knows what hit him - whenever you need to. And if your footwork while you're striking isn't that good, there's a simple drill at the begining of every workout that will help you make that better.

Program #3 - Sandbags & Weight Dragging, Work Capacity, Overall Conditioning, "Get Outside and Into the Fresh Air"

Time to find out if that strength and power you have in the weight room will carry over to the mat. This is the closest you'll get to finding out outside of your actual MMA training. You might be in for a rude awakening. That's Ok - now use that strength and power in strange, wierd angles - just like you would in the cage/ring.. Your opponent isn't just gonna let you hit him, pick him up, take him down, or roll him over. Neither will the sandbag. And you'll build the strength and power conditioning to be able to do it when you're tired. In other words, in the last round, instead of sucking wind like your opponent, you're still strong and ready to go. Not to mention that Dragging is about the safest type of workout program you can do. Nursing injuries or trying to stay healthy? Here you go. And you get to get outside in the sun while you do it...

Program #4 - Sprinting Speed, Limit Strength, Overall Muscular Size/Bodybuilding

This is when you just get strong. Ever roll or spar with a guy and say "DAMN, that was one strong dude!" Well, that's gonna be you after this program. Keep the bar moving as quick as you can (regardless of how much weight you're using) to keep your power up. The sprinting will not only make you quicker, but will greatly contribute to your lower body power. EXPLODE on your opponnent! And if you need some extra size or muscle because you're too small for your weight class - add just a few calories to this workout and call me in the morning.

Program #5 - Bodyweight Exercise, Muscular/Strength Endurance, Work Capacity, Overall Conditioning

Train wherever you want. Got a chin bar or something solid to drape a towel or rope over? Great, then you can do Program #5. You'll be able to take that strength and power you've got, and add that endurance factor so that you can use that strength and power as much as you need - make those muscles keep working and keep working and keep working (just like you might have to do in an MMA match). And since you can do this workout program anywhere, you can do it while traveling, on vacation, or use it to just spend some time out of the gym/dojo and get a change of scenery.

Program #6 - "Man-handling Your Bodyweight" - Bodyweight Exercise, Barbells, & Sandbags, Strength/Power/Muscular Endurance, Overall Conditioning, Work Capacity

This one is pretty easy - when you can complete this one, you'll not only be able to manhandle any object that weighs what you do (INCLUDING your opponent in the ring/cage), but but able to do it as long as you need to. This mean that you can pick up, slam, hold, or whatever you need to do to your opponent. This means nothing but good things for you in the ring/cage.

You might be wondering if these workout programs are really this good. Will they take your MMA training to the next level? Am I just a bunch of hype? Take look at what others are saying and see for yourself (full names withheld from military/security personnell for opsec purposes):

"Matt has done an excellent job combining basic heavy duty style lifting with functional exercise variations and creative conditioning. These workouts will satisfy everyone from the powerlifting enthusiast, the olympic lifting enthusast, the mixed martial arts fighter to the Navy Seal. These are definitely some of the most creative, effective, and FUN programs I've seen. You won't have to worry about always doing the same old thing and you won't ever get bored. Most importantly you WILL develop size, strength, improve your athleticism, AND you'll also shed a ton of fat to boot."

"Hey man, that's so f@#$ing crazy that you just emailed me, I'm reading your article about sand bags right now on MMA Weekly! I would love to try one of your workouts. I've read several of your articles, and I really like your approach...You've got some great ideas, man. I really liked the sand bag article.

Thanks again, and take care,"

"Hey man, I had my first mma fight in New York last weekend and ended up giving up 30 pounds to my opponent because he was the main event fighter and his opponent backed out. They asked me to fight up in weight in the main event against this guy and I won via arm bar submission in the second round. I just wanted to thank you for the programs with the sandbag because I was stronger and better

conditioned then this guy who has apparently won the gold cup tae kwon do championship 7 out of the last 8 years. If it wasn't for my strength and conditioning, I probably would have never gotten him to the ground and won. Just wanted to give you a shout out and say thanks."

"Wiggy, you have really outdone yourself on this one. I have all of your previous books and programs but this is your best work yet. I really like the variety in the programs and how you can work different qualities of fitness, but in a well planned out system. I also like the way you structure the workouts based on movement patterns and let the user select from the menu of exercises that best suit their individual needs and training goals..

I have seen workouts similar to the ones in your program but all too often they are just randomly thrown together as a collection of exercises to do on a specific day, but yours actually has a plan behind it. I think it will be just what people are looking for that want to develop aspects of strength and conditioning at the same time. No frills, no fluff, just hardcore training with minimal equipment to achieve a high level of all around fitness. What more could you ask for? Great job!"

Ok, I've done enough rambling. The big question now is:

"What's it gonna cost me?"

Remember - you're getting six, 8-week martial arts strength and power training programs here. That's 48 weeks - almost enough for an ENTIRE YEAR. Over 210 separate workouts. You also get Program Notes for all six workout programs, a Sample Exercise Listing (specifically for use with Program #5 and Program #6), an Equipment Listing (i.e. - everything you'll need to perform every workout - and it ain't much - only NINE ITEMS!), and six articles to help you on your way (one to help analyze yourself and where your weakness are, two to help further explain methods used in the workout programs, and three more to help you build some of the equipment you need - and save BIG BUCKS in the process).

Your cost for almost a YEAR's worth of workouts? $39. I don't care who you are - that's a good deal.

Look, at $39 you're paying under A BUCK PER WEEK. That's under 19¢ PER WORKOUT. Try and find some pimple-faced, goofball trainer (who probably knows diddley-squat about any sort of martial arts training or workouts) at your local gym that will do that...

Think of it this way - if you could go out to lunch for $5.00 (which you can hardly do anymore), you could either go out to lunch everyday until the middle of next week, or you can get these kick ass mma workout programs that will last you for the rest of your life...
