And they have nothing else to do...so by now, they are bigger. Happy thoughts...

[CaliKyle]

But how common are gangbangers with physiques like this? I'm betting not very.

[Contact]

How else are they going to get over those fences in the middle of the night?

I mean, really! :D

"You neva seen a niggoh dis big do a work out like dis befo"

"Anthin you see hur is original, if you see ani mothafrick do this they be rollin on crack"

MUAHAH! I love THUG WORK OUT :D

[VargaM]

rediculous is all that comes to mind. all of their workouts were done pretty stupidly. all of the pull ups were cheater pullups, swinging his weight up so he could get up, stupid . So yeah, i doubt thye got that big doing those workouts.

the second video what in the world was he doing, how would that help you in a bar fight. and the second guy wasnt doing very good pushups not pushing up all the way i could go on and on.

nice ifnd on these videos their great on stupid workouts, stupid "thugs" im suprised 5 ct didnt make these videos and sell them

[pkagel]

Before or after prison? :rolleyes:

[armoredman]

I see this everyday. This is how they workout on the prison yard, violent extra moves to try to impress the other inmates.

[Centurion44]

Never underestimate the opposition. If you'll notice many of these excercises are geared towards running from, evading, and even in some circumstances attacking the police.

Meanwhile, slobs like us go home at the end of the day and drink beer, eat chips, and watch TV.

I'm gonna start running again.

I don't recall them saying by doing this you will do well in a bar fight!!!

What that guy did in the 2nd video was an impressive show of strength. The running man was insane. It is easy for a skinny rockclimber to do that but when a guy is bigger... that is impressive...

[Trix]

Taking apart this video or these guys based on their form is trivializing and arogant.

No, maybe only one $hitrat out of many are built like this, but do you want to take him on in a crowded area where (1) you don't even come close to matching him physically and (2) your use of force options are restricted because of your milieu?

Get in the gym and on the floor and work hard. I've got a young family that I'm going home to every shift, end of story.

Herschel Walker built up his mass by pure pushups and use of natural body weight and gravity. (Would do as many push-ups as he could between tv commercials as a kid). Its VERY possible to get that big doing those types of work outs....its not easy and will take longer than weight training, but its quite possible. Most of those work outs, while looking stupid, are vey physically demanding.

Either way, listening to the host I think he might have a background is training or something, despite his "thug" act he knew what he was talking about.

[scratch13]

That 1 to 3 % out there that are like this should push us to get or stay in shape. That one dark and stormy night that you run into these guys could be more than a wake up call.

I don't care how well-built those guys are. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself isn't going to feel like doing many push ups with a .45 jhp round or two drilled into his sternum. Catch my drift......? ;)

What if you are out of ammo from shooting the first three of the thugs and he catches you during your reload with a tackle and you have to go to the ground with him on top of you.

Oh...and he has a big knife...

Also...bullets from handguns are not good stoppers. Yes, they are better than nothing, but in the grand scheme of things, poor stoppers.

Combine that with drugs, adrenaline, motivation and the fact that some people are just nutting-futs or stupid enough that they don't know they are supposed to die after you make their heart chopped beef...even IF you shoot him, you may have to go hands on.


Feel motivated to work out now?

Where I live, I see some of the LEOs and quite frankly it is quite pathetic. I remember when they started, they were skinny or medium build and now they look like big ballons and my grand mother could probably outrun them or out-duke them! It is scary.

It should be a department policy, stay in shape or bye-bye!

Your gun can be taken from you. Your muscles can't.

I despise the mentality that thinks the weapon makes the warrior. It's the other way around. If you don't see it, you need to find another job.

I agree. The first thing we are taught in kempo, a knife, gun, sword, kali sticks, etc. are USELESS if you do not know how to use them properly.

The thought that, "yeah, I have my ASP baton or gun so I'm bigger than you" is crap! I hear this so much it makes me want to puke sometimes. Take away a LEOs gun or ASP baton and if they don't know how to use their hands/not in shape, they're screwed!

Lesson here folks: There will be a time where the gun/asp baton won't be there, pray you listened to your instructor in the academy when they were teaching close encounter techniques and you remember them!

Seriously, what do YOU know about any of our training? Nothing. FYI, the DT course at every academy I've heard of in NJ is pathetic. There is less focus on saving our lives in a physical confrontation than there is on community service.

My academy taught a week of DT near the end, and I learned almost nothing. The Georgia state trooper takedown was probably the most ridiculous and stupid thing I've ever learned, and we spent almost half the week on that one move alone.

The problem w/ DT I have run into at almost any agency I have been around, is that it is taught to a limited degree in the academy, and then rarely, if ever (mostly never) taught again at any type of inservice. If your lucky there is a mixed martial arts instructor that can teach what I called applied police principals, as sometimes what is taught in martial arts can be hard to apply to the job.

That's the truth! Most academy DT programs teach you just enough to get your *** handed to you in a fight.

As far as the guys in the videos, they are exhibiting USEFUL strength. It doesn't matter how clean their technique is. The exercises they're doing in the manner they're doing them look really, REALLY difficult to me. The pull up where the guy swings up and then presses himself up would take a tremendous amount of strength and balance. Building muscle in this manner, while unorthodox, is no doubt effective. I imagine that these guys a very strong in day to day activities as opposed to guys that are "gym" strong - the ones that have a big bench or curl but can't put that power to use outside of the weight room.

For one, they don't teach good hand to hand combat just the basics. And if you want to learn more you need to get extra training for it or do it on your own!

I've been studying martial arts for a while in particular Ed Parker Kempo and Japanese Karate with a mix of Aikido and Philipino Kali sticks. Needless to say, I know a few LEOs(from NYPD) and have asked about it many times, so that is I know about YOUR training.

I'm in favor of having MMA training for all LEOs like every two to three months like a day or two. The Isrealis have a VERY good IDF hand to hand combat techniques that involves grabs and some serious holds that I haven't seen even in MMA until recently. Have any of you seen it? I forgot what the Isrealis call it.

[scratch13]

Hands on training in a lot of departments is pathetic. But think about it: who is more apt to sue? A cop who gets hurt in a fight of a POS? Who is the department more afraid of being sued by? Therefore, why teach a cop who may USE that training AND hurt someone who MAY sue the said dept????

I am not trying to sound like a conspiracy nut, but LIABILITY is the lense that a lot of depts look through. If they get a taser or pepper spray etc, then they can always bring in those manufacturers into the legal fray. One guy teaching MA????? He won't be much of a legal or monetary help.

You bring up a good point but I would rather have the LEO be able to come home safe and sound because he was able to use his training. He may get sued but at least he would be alive. Do you see what I mean?

Secondly, if it is liability that departments are looking at than in my opinion they don't have the best interest of the lives of its' LEOs.

[PFL]

I go to a muay thai, wrestling, or MMA class 2x a week. Most of what you learn are submissions and GnP, but use any of them on the street and I'm sure I'll be sued.

An arm bar is useless in a real fight unless I try to break a guy's elbow. Choke holds? Well those have been banned from LE for as long as I can remember. Ankle locks and toe holds are great if I want to break some ankles...

The long and short is that you're damned if you do, and die if you don't.

[Mitchell_in_CT]

Dead cops are a funeral expense and a pension bill.

Training that is effective and up to date is an ongoing bill, and can produce injuries to people in training, and lawsuits because that which is effective is also likely to damage someone.

Liability influenced training structures don't get people killed more often than they do because most people want to escape from the police (with the fight that it entails) rather than deliberately seek to kill the arresting officer.

When they do try to kill the guy on the sharp end of the stick, many times tragedy results.

[VargaM]

well i guess he didnt say anythign about a bar fight but its kinda hard to tell what he is saying when he is talking like a dumbass
