Kimbo Slice Workout

KIMBO SLICE WORKOUT

Kimbo Slice is a legend in the underground fighting world and is now making headlines in the mixed martial arts world in the Ultimate Fighting Championship circuit, as well. Kimbo propelled his street fighting career by training in boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and jiu-jitsu. To get to the level of a world-class fighter like Kimbo Slice, you need to train to become proficient in all of these fighting disciplines, which means you should combine several different types of workout programs.

Kimbo Slice Gym Workouts

If you’re going to fight like Kimbo Slice, it helps to be more powerful than your opponents. This starts with hitting the heavy bag to train for boxing and kickboxing. Throw various combinations of punches and kicks to heavy and light punching bags for 30-second spurts. You should also train with weights at least three days a week for a Kimbo Slice-esque workout program. Focus on heavy upper-body movements one day and heavy lower-body movements the next day. For example, on Monday, you’d train your chest, shoulders and triceps. Then on Wednesday, you’d train your legs. Then on Friday, you’d train your back and biceps. Focus on exercises that allow you to strengthen muscle groups, such as squats, bench presses, shoulder presses, rows, cleans and dead lifts. Keep your repetitions in the five to 10 range, and combine slow, steady repetitions with explosive movements to work your fast-twitch muscle fibers. As an example, you would perform a slow, steady bench press one week, and the next week you would perform fast, explosive repetitions. Kimbo also uses weighted vests when doing body-weight movements, such as dips.

 

Kimbo Slice Grappling Training

• In addition to being strong and being able to throw a punch, you must be able to handle your opponent on the ground. Kimbo Slice trains with a partner in grappling sessions to help build up his wresting skills. Find a friend who has experience in wrestling and ask them to go a few rounds with you a week to help you work on your grappling skills. Also, you need to be well conditioned if you want to be able to fight like Kimbo Slice. You should do a cardio workout at least two days a week in addition to your normal grappling sessions.
