A while back I did a brief post on Caveman Training which showed some of the training Sean Sherk does at Athletic Performance Inc. (API). API has created this new way of training which involves many aspects of strength and conditioning. It is an orgy of plyometrics, “strong man” training, power lifting, agility and strength training.
Some of the exercises in Caveman workouts include
- Pull Ups
- Double-Unders (jump rope)
- Box Jumps
- Sandbag Training
- Sprints
- Working with heavy bags
- Sledgehammer/Tire Work
Old School Training Concepts
If you’ve seen caveman training, you don’t see the usage of fancy machines or stupid workout equipment you see on late night infomercials. It’s about lifting heavy things and doing it with intensity. This is done by flipping tires of hitting them with a sledgehammer.
A lot of caveman training workouts are adapted for the athletic goals of a fighter. Champions will train 5 rounds for 5 minutes to prepare their body for the title fight.
