Training to do the Splits
You must hold every stretch for at least a full 30 seconds. I am not doing that in the video b/c I am limited on time but when you do it yourself you must hold it for a full 30 seconds. Warm up first and then stretch, you will get much better results. If you have neglected stretching for many years, you will have to put extra time into stretching in order to get results.

"Rear Delt Destroyer" - NEW Shoulder Exercise!
http://athleanx.com There are so many shoulder exercises and workouts, but none of them seem to hit the rear delts the way that this exercise does! The Rear Delt Destroyer by AthLEAN-X is one of the most effective rear delt builders around.
Why is that? Because it incorporates BOTH shoulder external rotation and a rear delt fly or reverse fly. This helps to fully activate the shoulder and maximize muscle development.
Most guys, in an effort to build bigger shoulders, work on the more popular exercises to build the front delts and side delts. This is ok, but by totally ignoring the rear delts, the shoulders give that shallow appearance. It's important that in order to create wide rounded shoulders (that look good from all angles) that you start strengthening them from all sides.
Once you've tried this NEW shoulder exercise be sure to bring the rest of your shoulders up to speed...head over to http://athleanx.com and get the training system that MMA fighters, pro athletes, hollywood celebrities and F1 Race Car drivers are relying on.....get the AthLEAN-X Training System!

The BEST Hip Mobility Exercise for MMA
I call this the 'best' hip mobility exercise for mixed martial artists because it targets 3 areas that are often tight in fighters (and dudes in general):
1. Hip flexors
2. Hamstrings
3. Adductors (groin/inner thigh)
It not only mobilizes and lengthens these muscles, but it also improves your balance, co-ordination and strength at challenging ranges of motion.
The exercise is called the Cossack Warrior and I learned it from Scott Sonnon and my buddy Adam Steer (if you want to see more from these guys, I really suggest checking out their TACFIT Commando program at http://www.TACFITTraining.com).
If you can't do the full Cossack Warrior, I also show you how to work your way up to it.
Your goal should be to perform 20 reps (10 per side) of the Cossack Warrior in perfect form with decent depth.

Insane NEW Shoulder Exercise - A Shoulder Workout "MUST"!
When deciding what shoulder exercises to do to make up your shoulder workout the focus should never remain strictly on the shoulders! In fact, if you want to get even better results from your workouts you need to start training muscles the way that they are meant to be trained....and you'll get an additive effect!

Bodyweight Exercise—Full Body Leg Thread
You've heard us say it before—we're after go muscle not show muscle.
When I learned to surf, the first week I was sore in ALL kinds of places! But it would've been pretty idiotic for me to ask somebody out in the lineup what muscle surfing works. Ever seen a fat and weak surfer?
One of my favorite CST bodyweight exercises almost always elicits that same infamous question. When you look at it, its hard to figure out just whats going on. But once you figure it out and put it into your training it'll become one of your favorites too.
I showed it to a buddy of mine a couple years ago, and he still does it every night as part of his evening routine. He doesn't do anything but this and Intu-Flow. But he's feeling great and still kicks butt when he jumps into an impromptu game of soccer. (today was his 42nd birthday!)
I hope you have fun with this one. When you leave your comment, make sure you tell us how quickly you picked the movement up. And tell us how you think you could fit this movement into your own training.

Basic Bodybuilding - Build Better Calves
Guys will follow calf workout after calf workout trying to get this notoriously "stubborn" muscle group to grow. The problem is that most calf workouts don't challenge the calves in a way that is necessary to cause a change.
The calves are postural muscles that are relied upon each day to support your own bodyweight and propel your body during walking. There are even times (many times for that matter) when you're entire bodyweight is being supported by just one calf muscle as you move through the swing phase of gait / walking.
