Following is an excerpt on strength training vs, conditioning, from an article by Ross Enamait:
“Strength training is not the same as conditioning. As a fighter, you will need superhuman work capacity to succeed. Strength is useless if you are out of gas after one round of action.
You must experience fatigue while training, and then learn to fight through the fatigue. Many conditioning drills are not popular for one simple reason, they are extremely difficult. As fatigue sets in, your mind begs you to stop. Unfortunately, when an aggressive opponent is throwing punches in your direction, you do not have this option.”
