Fight Gone Bad Explained
Greg Glassman lectures on the development of Fight Gone Bad.
Fight Gone Bad is one of the CrossFit benchmark WODs. It was designed to simulate the time domain of a mixed martial arts bout of five minutes of work followed by one minute of rest. It has been used in 3 and 5 round versions. The workout first appeared on CrossFit.com on 1 December 2004, although a hint of the workout appeared as just a snapshot image on 7 October 2003. It was so named after BJ Penn, a professional mixed martial artist, remarked that it was like a «fight gone bad» when asked how it compared to a real fight.[1]
Fight Gone Bad is also a registered trademark of the Sportsgrants Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, as the official name of an athletic charitable fundraising event, produced by Sportsgrants annually, since 2006.
The Workout
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We’ve used this in 3 and 5 round versions. The stations are:
- . Wallball Shots: 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
- . Sumo Deadlift High-Pull: 75 pounds (Reps)
- . Box Jump: 20″ box (Reps)
- . Push Press: 75 pounds (Reps)
- . Row: calories (Cal)
The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of «rotate,» the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

What is the Fight Gone Bad WOD?
The Fight Gone Bad WOD is one of the legendary CrossFit benchmark WODs, where athletes have to complete 1 minute of work for five different movements, for a total of 3 rounds. There is a 1 minute rest period at the end of each round. Points are scored for each rep, apart from the row, where each calorie counts as a point – your overall score is the total number of reps completed after all three rounds.
The backstory to the Fight Gone Bad workout is where it gets its legendary status from. Famous UFC fighter B.J. Penn visited CrossFit founder Greg Glassman looking for a workout that replicates the experience of a UFC fight, which is where the three-five minute rounds format was created, with high-power compound exercises intended to work every muscle in the body and recreate the experience of being in the Octagon.
Laying on the floor to catch his breath, Glassman asked Penn if the workout felt anything like a fight. “It’s like a fight gone bad”, replied Penn, providing the name for one of the most famous – and challenging – CrossFit workouts.
- Work on all 5 movements, focusing the most on those that need improvement.
- Use your best movements tactically. These can be high-scoring rounds to improve your overall score.
- Find a good pace. Intensity should be high but remember this is 15 minutes of exercise and not a sprint.
- Scale movements where necessary.
If you’re familiar with functional fitness training then you’ve probably heard of the workout “Fight Gone Bad.” However, I bet you don’t know that research confirms that the Fight Gone Bad workout (WOD) is one of the best all around tests of fitness and aerobic capacity. In this article I’m going to review some awesome research, which explains just how many reps you need to achieve a good score on Fight Gone Bad. I’ll also be sharing some tips and tricks to set your own PR on this workout. Keep reading for more.
Fight Gone Bad (FGB) is a classic benchmark workout that originally appeared in 2004. Legend has it that mixed martial artist BJ Penn asked for a workout that would mimic the feel of an MMA fight, where you have 5 sixty-second max effort bouts, followed by a 1 minute rest interval.
When asked how he felt afterwards, BJ Penn claimed it felt like a fight gone bad, hence the name. This workout is comprised of 3 rounds where you spend one minute at 5 different exercises. You will then rest 1 minute before repeating the rounds. This benchmark WOD consists of the following exercises.
The first station is wall ball throws to a 10 ft target. Men will use a 20 pound ball, and women a 14 pound ball. The next station is sumo deadlift high-pull, with a 75/55lb barbell for men and women. Next is the 20in box jump, followed by push press at 75/55lbs. The last exercise is a row, done for max calories in the one minute interval. You will then take a one-minute break, before starting the next round. Check out the graphic below for more details.
Now that we know what this workout consists of let’s review some research on the WOD. This will explain why this test is such a good measure of overall functional fitness. After that I will provide some tips and techniques to improve your best score.

Fight Gone Bad Research
Researchers have slowly started to do more research on functional fitness training, over the last several years. This is awesome as it tends to prove exactly what functional fitness athletes have been saying for years. The training works!
This study entitled, “Evaluation of the repeatability and reliability of the cross-training specific Fight Gone Bad workout and its relation to aerobic fitness,” was published in 2021. It compared FGB with standard aerobic capacity tests that have been validated for years. The goal was to determine if FGB could measure aerobic capacity as well as these more traditional tests. They were also attempting to determine the specific metabolic demands of the WOD.
The researchers recruited 21 functional fitness athletes, who were familiar with this training style. They put them through traditional cycling tests, to measure their aerobic capacity, and then had them do FGB on the following day.
They did a whole host of blood tests, including heart rate measurements, and other statistical analysis. They came to the conclusion that Fight Gone Bad is highly correlated with the traditional tests. They found that V02 max, cycling time to exhaustion, and anaerobic power were most closely associated with FGB performance. Here are their conclusions.
Our study showed that Fight Gone Bad is a reliable and repeatable test to measure cross-training performance. Moreover, FGB is strongly correlated with aerobic fitness. FGB can be used as a tool in interventional studies to evaluate the changes in cross-training scores. Furthermore, given that FGB is a non-invasive, easy to perform, and accessible test, it can be regularly used by coaches throughout the training season.
Evaluation of the repeatability and reliability of the cross-training specific Fight Gone Bad workout and its relation to aerobic fitness
I’m glad they came to this conclusion, as I’ve used this as a my go to aerobic capacity test for functional fitness athletes for many years. It’s nice to finally have scientific research confirming it works. In this next section we will cover Fight Gone Bad scores, so you can see just how your performance stacks up.

Fight Gone Bad Scores
We know that FGB is a great test of functional fitness, but we need to find out what a good score for Fight Gone Bad is. Wouldn’t you know it, I have another research study where these scientists did a statistical analysis on this classic benchmark workout, as well as some other named WODs, like Grace, Fran, Helen, and Filthy Fifty. Check out this chart below for your score in total reps.
This chart is useful, but I want to point out a few things. First, this data was collected from the public profiles for athletes competing in the CrossFit Open in 2017. This population of athletes is likely to be a little more fit than more casual functional fitness athletes.
Sure enough, if you compare the scores from the research paper, to the scores listed in Beyond the Whiteboard, you’ll find that that those scores are lower for all percentiles. For example, the average score for CrossFit Open male athletes is 335 from the research paper. On Beyond the Whiteboard the average score is 265. That’s quite the difference. Here are the standards I use for athletes.
I think this is a valuable insight for those athletes that want to do local functional fitness competitions. It gives you a solid understanding of where you need to perform to be average, above average, and elite. You can also check out this analysis where I reviewed the benchmark WOD levels for top 10% functional fitness athletes.
We’ve determined that FGB is a valid workout to test your overall fitness. Moreover, we now have some solid scores to determine what your score should be. Let’s cover a few strategies to score well in Fight Gone Bad. If you want to improve your fitness and exercise capacity then you need to check out this program.
Fight Gone Bad Performance Tips
You need to have a game plan if you want to perform well in Fight Gone Bad. This plan will change based off of your specific strengths and weaknesses. I recommend trying out a practice round to get an idea of how many reps you can achieve for each movement.
You also need to be realistic. If you’re a shorter athlete, then wall balls and box jumps are going to be a little harder for you. This means that you need to work moderately hard on those movements, that aren’t in your wheel house. Conversely, you need to go all out on your good movements.
I find that athletes should focus on the sumo deadlift high pulls, and the push press as max effort movements. After all, box jumps, and wall-ball shots have a somewhat fixed pace. The sumo deadlifts and push presses have a fast cycle time, and you can really rack up the reps quickly.
No matter what kind of athlete you are, you should go max effort on the row. Recall that you have a 1 minute rest coming up, so you can push harder than you normally would.
My last tip is to transition quickly. There are no breaks between movements, as this is a running clock. You lose valuable time if you huff and puff for 15 sec between movements. It would be better for you to stop 5 or so seconds short, on a movement you aren’t as good at, so you can maximize the time at a strong movement. We’ve covered a lot of info, so let’s finish this article up with a few final thoughts.
Final Thoughts
Fight Gone Bad is a very good workout, and I recommend repeating this WOD every 6 months or so. This will give you a good idea how your fitness is progressing. To perform well you need a big aerobic engine, and decent full body strength.
Try a few of my programs and I think you’ll be surprised just how much progress you can make in a few short months. If you have any comments or questions, put them in the comments section below. Now get out there and start your functional training.

Preparing for Your First Fight Gone Bad Workout
Exercising and fitness routines can be intimidating if you’re new to the scene and don’t know the format – that’s why following a template like the Fight Gone Bad workout can help. This high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout is designed to challenge your body and help you gain strength, endurance, and flexibility – which is especially useful for those new to fitness or coming back after recovering from an injury. Here’s what you should know before starting the Fight Gone Bad workout.
Review Workout Format
The Fight Gone Bad workout normally consists of five rounds, each with three different exercises. Each round works on different muscle groups and requires a certain amount of repetition, predetermined by the exerciser. You will rest a full minute between each round and exercise, and only 30 seconds between the exercises each round. Depending on the skill and fitness level of the exerciser, the rounds and exercises can be adjusted.
Choose Appropriate Weight
For beginners, it’s important not to jump right into the workout with weights that are too heavy. This can lead to injury and impede your progress. Start with a light weight and increase weight increments slowly. This helps your body adjust, gain strength, and increases mobility. The best way to determine the right amount of weight for you is to focus on form during each repetition and set. You’ll soon be able to identify if the weight is causing too much strain or not enough.
Set Goals
The Fight Gone Bad workout can be daunting, so it’s important to set goals from the start. This helps to keep you focused and motivated during the workout. Goals could include the number of reps for each exercise or the amount of time for each round. There is plenty of room for adjusted goals throughout the session. As you gain confidence and fitness, adjust the goals to get the best results in the allotted amount of time.
Warm Up
Warming up is essential before any intense exercise routine, such as a Fight Gone Bad workout. This helps to get your heart rate up and gives you a chance to prepare each muscle group for that session’s movements. Start with some light cardio such as jogging or jumping rope, followed by dynamic stretches to the arms, legs, and core. You should also do some mobility exercises to get each joint warmed up and ready for action.
Follow Protocol
Time tracking is a must to ensure you’re meeting the necessary rep, break, and round requirements. Time tracking also gives you a sense of how much effort you’re putting in, assessing your form and endurance during the workout. To stay on schedule, use a timer on your laptop, watch, or phone to ensure you’re giving each exercise and round its due dedication.
Re-Agree on Goals
As the Fight Gone Bad workout progresses and your body loosens up, you can re-evaluate your goals and adjust them if need be. It’s important to remain focused and give each exercise your best effort. When you feel your form slipping, adjust the weight or reps as needed to complete each exercise out with a full range of motion and safety.
Cool Down
After the Fight Gone Bad workout, it’s essential to cool down with stretching exercises and breathing techniques to reduce heart rate and help flush metabolic waste. Static stretching can help to ease tension in your muscles and improve flexibility. The goal is to get your heart rate back to normal and give your body the rest it needs to recover and build muscle.
For the best results from your Fight Gone Bad workout, following these guidelines will help ensure a safe, productive session that gets your body fit, flexible, and healthy.
Optimal Execution of a Fight Gone Bad Workout
A Fight Gone Bad workout is one of the most rewarding full-body routines for anyone looking to increase their strength, agility, and cardiovascular endurance. The workout consists of 5 rounds of 5 basic exercises – wall balls, rowing, a weighted power move, a bodyweight move, and a burpee-style move – with a one-minute rest between each round. To get the most out of a Fight Gone Bad workout, it’s important to set realistic goals, prepare properly, use proper form, and use strategies for progressive overload and proper supplementation.
Setting Reasonable Goals
The very first step in executing a Fight Gone Bad workout properly is setting the right goals. You should take an honest and realistic assessment of your fitness level before getting started. What may seem like a small challenge to an experienced lifter could be an impossible task for a beginner. The goal should be to continually challenge yourself without exceeding the point of diminishing returns. Increase your reps, add more weight, or increase the intensity of your movements over time as you get stronger and more agile.
Preparation and Hydration
Before embarking on your Fight Gone Bad workout, you’ll need to prepare your body and mind. Being mentally and physically prepared can help you get through the workout more easily. To fuel your workouts, be sure to have a pre-workout snack composed of slow-digesting carbs, such as seeds, nuts, and a banana, and fast-digesting protein, such as Greek yogurt or protein shake. You should also ensure you have sufficient fluids and are adequately hydrated before and during the workout.
Perfecting Form
Good form is essential for a successful Fight Gone Bad workout. Not only does proper form allow you to strive for your goals but it also reduces your risk of injury. To get the most out of each exercise, you must also be sure to put forth maximal effort. The key is to find the right balance between progression and technique – bumping up the number of reps or weight may increase the challenge but not if the technique is wrong.
Validating and Comparing Progress
Evaluating your performance on a regular basis is integral to achieving your goals. You can track your progress using simple tools like an Excel spreadsheet or video yourself performing each movement. There are also many apps available for tracking progress and form assessment. Evaluating your progress often can help you adjust and improve your workouts.
Applying Progressive Overload Principles
As with any exercise routine, it’s important to continually challenge yourself. As you become stronger, you should regularly revise your goals, increasing difficulty, exercise duration, and intensity over time. This incremental progression is called progressive overload and is essential for maintaining gains in strength and endurance.
Smart Supplementation
The right supplementation can help you get the most out of your Fight Gone Bad workout for optimal performance as well as to assist with muscle repair and reduce muscle soreness. Consuming a pre and post workout supplement within a few hours of exercise can give you the essential nutrients you need for muscle growth, performance, and recovery.
Strategizing Nutrition
Nutrition plays an important role in the success of any exercise routine. To support your workout efforts, it’s important to have a well-rounded eating plan that emphasizes complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of micronutrients like antioxidants and vitamins. Eating strategically can help you make the most of the energy you expend in your Fight Gone Bad workout.
Benefits of Doing a Fight Gone Bad Workout
Any type of workout or physical activity has amazing rewards, but the Fight Gone Bad Workout can bring you to the next level of fitness. This full-body resistance workout is designed to help improve your cardiovascular health, increase your muscular strength and endurance, build your core strength and help alleviate stress.
Improved Cardiovascular Health
Doing a Fight Gone Bad Workout will significantly enhance your cardiovascular health. When done correctly and consistently, it will improve your aerobic capacity by forcing your body to go through intense cardio exercises. These exercises will help you regulate your breathing and push your heart rate up. This increases endurance and stamina and heightens your overall fitness.
Increase Muscular Strength
The combination of moves included in a Fight Gone Bad Workout can help to develop your muscular strength endurance. These moves will target a broad range of muscles and groups of muscles simultaneously, including the chest, shoulders, triceps and legs. This circuit style workout will help you to work your muscles in different angles, developing a lean, balanced appearance and greater muscular strength.
Increase Core Strength
Part of the Fight Gone Bad Workout includes a number of exercises that will help to build and fortify your core strength. The thrusters, burpees and rowing station will help to strengthen your core and improve your coordination. Not only that, but it will also help to reduce the risk of injury and improve the functional strength of your muscles.
Stress Relief
This combination of movements is clinically-proven to activate your body’s relaxation response, while also getting rid of any built-up energy. The Fight Gone Bad Workout is a great way to reduce stress and clear your mind while also making your body stronger and healthier.
Mental Resilience
Another benefit of the Fight Gone Bad Workout is its ability to build mental resilience. Push yourself to do better and reach new physical goals. This will help you find comfort in taking on tougher tasks and break any mental barriers that may be holding you back.
To get the most out of your workout, be sure to listen to your body and not overexert yourself. Start off slow with reduced reps and fewer rounds, and as your body builds endurance and strength move up in reps and rounds. Staying consistent with this workout will bring you amazing results and will make you more fit, strong and confident.
Common Mistakes When Doing A Fight Gone Bad Workout
Doing a Fight Gone Bad workout is an intense task and should be taken seriously. As with any type of physical activity, there are mistakes that can be made that can cause one not to reach desired results. In order to reach maximum efficiency, reduce the risk of injury, and make sure endurance levels are at an optimal level, here are three common mistakes to avoid when doing a Fight Gone Bad workout.
Poor Form
Improper form is one of the most common mistakes that people make when doing a Fight Gone Bad workout. Bad form can lead to inefficient and ineffective workouts as well as increase one’s risk for injury. To ensure proper form, there is an emphasis on body positioning and stance. It is important to make sure the legs, arms, and core remain engaged the entire time. Additionally, maintaining a tall posture and a slight bend in the knees helps to ensure that the body is in the right position.
Another good way to progress proper form during reps is to focus on working against the resistance of the equipment or weights. Strengthening the body this way is the best way to ensure proper form is observed.
Not Pacing
Another common mistake made by those doing Fight Gone Bad workouts is to have an ‘all-out’ approach. Having this type of approach to the workout can lead to an inability to finish the workout. An efficient pace should be set and maintained. Once this type of pace is figured out for the individual, then it is important that the workout is paced accordingly.
For beginners, a good way to figure out the sustainable pace for a Fight Gone Bad workout is to practice. Start executing the movements at a reasonable speed and monitor how the body responds. It is important to note the discomfort, the burn, and the power that the body has throughout each round. Then, rest and analyze how the body feels afterward.
Avoiding The Rest Time
Taking too little of a rest between rounds is another common mistake when doing a Fight Gone Bad workout. This can lead to exhaustion and reduce the efficiency of the workout. Rest is just as important as the actual movements and this should be taken into account when trying to maximize efficiency.
For beginners looking to take advantage of rest time, it is suggested to start out with a longer rest period between rounds. This helps the body to gather energy and power that can then be used during the next round. As the athlete develops and becomes better conditioned, the rest time may be able to be adjusted and reduced.
Overall, avoiding these three common mistakes and having an understanding of proper pacing, timing, and form will help to ensure the most efficient and effective Fight Gone Bad workout.
Tips For Maximizing Results With A Fight Gone Bad Workout
When it comes to tough HIIT workouts, it’s hard to beat the Fight Gone Bad (FGB) program. With this workout, you’ll drive your heart rate up, maximize strength and endurance and burn a ton of calories in just a few minutes of time. To get the most out of this routine, here’s some tips to make your FGB workout as effective as possible.
Warm Up Properly
No matter what kind of exercise you’re doing, it’s essential to always start with a solid warm up. With HIIT training like the Fight Gone Bad workout, it’s especially important. Warming up primes your muscles for the workout ahead, triggering a release of muscle-building hormones and oxygenated blood flow that will help you perform better and prevent muscle strains or injury.
To get your body ready for a Fight Gone Bad, start with some light cardio such as jogging or cycling for two or three minutes. From there, move into dynamic stretching, such as arm circles, leg swings, jumping jacks and burpees. Finally, finish off with a few minutes of bodyweight exercises, like air squats and mountain climbers, to really get your blood pumping and your muscles fired up.
Utilize Proper Form
Form is everything when it comes to a Fight Gone Bad workout. Good form will help you get the most out of every rep, while bad form can lead to injury and uneven muscle development.
For each exercise, your body should be in a straight line with knees and elbows slightly bent. Maintain a strong core and keep the tension in your muscles throughout the movement. And pay attention to your breathing—when doing pushups, inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up.
Common mistakes to avoid include letting your knees and hips dip too low or your elbows to flare too wide, or just going too slowly. A sure sign that you’re not doing it correctly? Pain and/or tiredness. In general, if it hurts, you should slow down, adjust your form and make sure you’re being mindful.
Break It Up
When it comes to HIIT, the key is intensity. But even the toughest workouts get stale if you do them constantly without varying the program. My strategy is to split up the Fight Gone Bad into shorter intervals with rest periods in between. This has the added benefit of helping you go at a faster pace and prevents overtraining.
To get the best results, experiment with different intervals and rest times until you find the sweet spot. Different people will have different preferences, but I usually do four rounds of 30-45 seconds on/15-30 seconds off, depending on how I’m feeling and what I’m after. This helps keep the workout fresh and encourages me to push myself.
Mix It Up
By changing up the exercises, reps and weights you use throughout the workout, you can keep the intensity high and maximize your results. For example, try doing 10 burpees for one round, 8 for the next, 6 for the third and 4 for the last. Or, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, add in some push-ups between rounds of kettlebell swings.
In any case, get creative with your workout and make sure to challenge yourself every time. Variety is the key to keeping your mind engaged as well as your body.
Change Up The Equipment
While the typical Fight Gone Bad workout involves a jump rope, an ab wheel and weights, you can easily use different equipment depending on what you have available. Alternatives to the traditional jump rope include using jump ropes with weighted handles or using an adjustable rope. And you don’t need to limit yourself to a traditional weight set; try kettlebells, medicine balls or sandbags.
Keep It Challenging
It’s easy to fall into a routine, but to keep your body constantly improving and your workouts more effective, it’s important to mix things up and keep the intensity high. Keep track of your personal bests for each exercise and challenge yourself to beat those numbers. And don’t be afraid to compete against yourself or a partner. Knowing that you’re racing against the clock can give you the motivation to push your limits and get the most out of every rep.
Fuel Properly
No matter how hard you’re working, it won’t make a difference if you’re not fueling your body correctly. Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks and opt for whole, natural foods like eggs, avocado and nuts for breakfast, and lean proteins and veggies for lunch and dinner. And always remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Listen To Your Body
Knowing when and how to listen to your body is one of the most important aspects of any workout program. When you’re feeling tired or sore, it’s your body’s way of telling you to take a break. Make sure to take regular rest days and take it slow and steady to start. If you don’t let your body recover properly, it’s only going to hinder your performance in the end.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to crush your Fight Gone Bad with maximum efficiency and minimum risk of injury. Stay consistent and keep challenging yourself and you’ll be absolutely ripped in no time!
How Often Should You Do A Fight Gone Bad Workout?
Fight Gone Bad Workouts, a short high intensity interval exercise, can offer many benefits to your overall physical health. With its ability to work multiple muscle groups simultaneously in one session and its ability to increase flexibility and motion, Fight Gone Bad Workouts are ideal for pushing yourself to the next level.
However, while it is important to challenge yourself, you must do so safely. High intensity exercise should be done in moderation to give your body time to adequately recover. This is key to preventing any unwanted injuries. For this reason, it is recommended that you do Fight Gone Bad Workouts a few times a week.
For beginners, you should start with 1-2 sessions a week, gradually building up to 3-4 sessions if desired. Proper recovery time is essential before doing a high intensity session again.

Should Beginners Try A Fight Gone Bad Workout?
If you’re a beginner who is interested in trying out a Fight Gone Bad Workout (FGB), this article is for you. FGB is an intense yet doable CrossFit workout that is designed to push your boundaries. It involves combining strength, endurance and aerobic fitness exercises into a short and challenging workout. A typical FGB workout includes 5 exercises that are done within one minute each, with a one minute rest period in-between. The exercises are done as many times as possible at a high level of intensity in order to provide a full-body time-based workout.
It’s important to note that FGB is not just any old workout. It is designed to improve your strength, muscular endurance, aerobic fitness and mental toughness. Although the high-intensity of the workout can be intimidating for beginners, it is important to remember that if you work hard and form is practiced, you should see great results.
Potential Injury Risk
Although it is possible to get great results from FGB, it is important to start slow and be mindful of your form so that you can avoid potential injuries. Working through the workout too quickly could mean you have good numbers, but bad technique, which can be dangerous. To avoid injury, it’s essential that you listen to your body and stay within your limits. As with any workout, be aware of your form and take time to learn proper techniques and practice proper form.
Improving Your Results
For those who are looking to maximize the results of the Fight Gone Bad workout and work on their times, there are certain variations and strategies that can be followed. One popular variation is the “Fight Gone 12 Weeks”. This is a customizable workout plan that focuses on building strength and endurance with variants on the traditional Fight Gone Bad. For example, the 12-week plan might suggests adding more repetitions, weighted movements, and total-body exercises into the regular FGB workout in order to further challenge yourself and improve your results.
Real Life Example
One example of how beneficial the Fight Gone Bad workout can be for those already doing CrossFit is Julie, one of the podcast hosts. Julie had been doing CrossFit for about two years and hit a plateau in terms of her strength, endurance and fitness levels. She then decided to try a Fight Gone Bad workout and was amazed at the results she saw. After commiting to the workout and pushing her boundaries with each workout, she saw improvements in all areas – strength, endurance and overall fitness.
Overall, it is possible to get great results from a Fight Gone Bad workout, even as a beginner. If you are willing to work hard and push through the challenge, you can improve your strength, endurance, aerobic fitness and mental toughness. And with customizable plans like the Fight Gone 12 Weeks, you will be able to get even better results.
Choosing Appropriate Weights For A Fight Gone Bad Workout
One of the key components of a Fight Gone Bad Workout is selecting the correct weight. Utilizing the proper weight for each exercise maximizes the benefit gained from the workout and ensures that the intended muscle groups receive the maximum stimulus for growth. Weight selection for a Fight Gone Bad Workout is based on the individual’s fitness level, goals, and the equipment that is available.
Types of Weights
When selecting weights for the Fight Gone Bad Workout, three main categories should be considered: bodyweight exercises, dumbbells, and medicine balls. Each of these weigh types has a distinct advantage depending on the individual exercises being performed.
Bodyweight Exercises
Bodyweight exercises are ideal as they utilize only the weight of the athlete’s own body. This makes them extremely accessible and allows athletes of any fitness level to perform the exercises. The movements can be modified depending on the strength and fitness level of the individual. Examples of these exercises include squats, push-ups, and jumping jacks.
Dumbbells
Dumbbells are a great choice for weight training as they provide the ability to use heavier weights than with bodyweight exercises. They require less coordination due to the static nature of the weight, as compared to a medicine ball. As a result, dumbbells are often used for unilateral movements such as lunges.
Medicine Balls
Medicine balls offer a unique challenge as they require the athlete to control the weight during dynamic movements. This is well-suited for explosive exercises such as jumping burpees or mountain climbers. As the medicine ball is off-balanced it requires the user to use additional core muscles to stabilize the motion and control the weight.
Weight Selection Considerations
When selecting a weight for each exercise, several factors should be taken into account. An individual’s fitness level and goals will play a significant role when selecting an appropriate weight. For instance, a beginner performing walking lunges will benefit from selecting a lighter weight as they build up strength and technique. As their fitness level increases, the weight selected can be increased to achieve a greater challenge.
Additionally, the equipment available will play a role in the weight chosen. Gyms may have limited weight selections and the athlete should use their best judgement to choose the best weight available. For example, if a 10lb dumbbell is the only option available, that weight should be selected even if the athlete feels they may benefit from a heavier weight.
In summary, utilizing the correct weight for the Fight Gone Bad Workout is essential for getting the most out of the workout. Athletes should select weights from the three main categories- bodyweight exercises, dumbbells, or medicine balls- based on the individual exercises being performed. Considerations should be taken into account such as their current fitness level and the available equipment. A beginner should select a lighter weight such as when performing walking lunges. With the correct weight selected, an individual can maximize the benefit of the workout and ensure that their muscles are receiving the correct stimuli for growth.
Including Other Exercise Modalities Into Your Fight Gone Bad Routine
If you’re looking to take your Fight Gone Bad (FGB) workout to the next level, why not add other exercise modalities that can increase its effectiveness? Incorporating resistance training and stretching is an awesome way to see greater strength, endurance and power gains. Let’s take a look at how you can take your FGB to another level with a few additional exercises.
Resistance Training Exercises
Adding some resistance training can be beneficial to your FGB routine, as it targets both your aerobic capacity as well as your muscular strength. Some common resistance training exercises that can be easily included in your FGB workout include barbell squats, dumbbell curls and chest press.
When doing these exercises, remember to stay in control of your movements and breathe in and out deeply, making sure to contract your core for maximum benefit. It’s also important to remember to start with a light weight and focus on form and control, bringing the weight up slowly and doing the movements slowly and purposefully. This will help to maximize the effectiveness of the exercises and ensure you get the most out of your FGB.
Stretching
Incorporating stretching after your FGB can help to increase flexibility, core strength, and range of motion. In fact, stretching is incredibly important for not only safety but performance optimization. You don’t need to do a lot of stretching after your FGB, just a few minutes of stretching can help to reduce tiredness and stress and support long-term performance success. A few common stretches include cobra pose, seated forward fold and piriformis stretch.
When stretching, make sure you don’t bounce and that you breathe deeply in and out of your stretches. Hold your stretches for 20-30 seconds for best results.
Incorporating Yoga
Including yoga in your FGB routine can help to improve your overall performance as well as your breath control and balanced focus. It also helps to keep your body from becoming too accustomed to the same movements and can lead to more enjoyable and diverse workouts.
Yoga poses to perform after FGB include Downward-Facing Dog, Warrior Pose and Mountain Pose. As with stretching, make sure to focus on your breath and go slowly and mindfully into each pose.
By incorporating additional exercise modalities into your FGB workout, you can take it to the next level and see better performance gains. Make sure to switch your modalities and exercises up regularly so that your body can grow and stay challenged. Good luck!
