			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh Damn!</p>
<p>These guys have been tearing their workouts up!</p>
<p>These two MMA fighters are getting ready for their bouts within the next few weeks and are training diligently with FOCUS and DETERMINATION.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s always said that, &#8220;<em>Perfect practice makes perfect</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>We believe that to be true! </strong></p>
<p>We want the athlete to put just as much <em>focus</em> and <em>determination</em> into the workout as they do in their fights.</p>
<p>We expect nothing less than 110% hard work when training.</p>
<p><strong>Hard work builds that inner warrior and mental toughness that&#8217;s needed in sport. </strong></p>
<p>We like to believe  it&#8217;s needed in all aspects of life for achieving overall success.</p>
<p>Find the right atmosphere and dominate!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s going on!</p>
<p>Hope you&#8217;re staying warm!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s cold here in Nebraska but that WILL NOT keep us from training hard.</p>
<p>There can be no excuses!  You must get stronger EVERYDAY.  You&#8217;re either getting stronger or weaker &#8211; you never stay the same.</p>
<p>Live by that rule!  Always strive to get a little better each day.  Even if its a little bit, make sure you&#8217;re stepping in the right direction.</p>
<p>Some of the members of The Forged Athlete have been taking steps in the right direction for sure.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t find excuses.  They find a way to get things done.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a sick workout they just did this last week that really tested thier limits.  I like to call it &#8220;Bags, Bells, and A Rope.&#8221;</p>
<p>We use all the different tools to get them strong in this workout.</p>
<p>Here it is:</p>
<p>1A) Rope Climb or Recline Rope Climb 5 x max</p>
<p>1B) KB Double Clean and Press 5 x 5</p>
<p>1C) Sandbag Clean to Zercher Lunge 5 x 5/leg</p>
<p>* throw band pull aparts in throughout between the exercises and sets</p>
<p>We ended the workout with 8 straight mins of sled/prowler</p>
<p>It was a good one.  Simple and effective.</p>
<p>Check out the video of some highlights below:</p>
