GSP AND UFC TRAINER JONATHAN CHAIMBERG INTERVIEW AND WORKOUT

Today I had the pleasure to meet, have lunch and interview one of my idols Jonathan Chaimberg who is by far the best Strength and Conditioning Coaches in MMA bar none. 

 You may have seen him on UFC Countdown as GSP or Rashad Evans’s trainer, but he has trained a lot of the top fighters in the Greg Jackson camp. 

I love his training philosophies and through this interview you are going to hear a lot of what I show you in some of my workouts and tell you in the posts. 

I am always trying to bring the best of breed to you and Jonathan Chaimberg is the best of the best.   I am going to let the interview speak for itself and check out Jonathan training GSP, Loiseau and Dennis Kang below

Watch both parts of the interview because what he says is very important if you want to become a top MMA athlete.
