Warrior Set
![]() |
Not only do huge shoulder and chest muscles make a warrior look more imposing, but these muscles, when properly trained, can also make him more dangerous. Without a strong set of deltoids and pectoral muscles, the warrior surely has less chance of victory and a greater chance of injury.
These powerful muscles are used in almost every upper-body motion in MMA and protect the most unstable and often-attacked shoulder joint. Offensively, these muscles are essential in throwing powerful punches in stand-up, crushing an opponent in the clinch, and during take-downs and submission attempts. Defensively, these muscles are used to keep the hands up during stand-up, to pummel in and out of the clinch, and to fight off take down attempts on the feet and submission attempts on the ground. Understanding this, the warrior must develop a set of cannonballs for shoulders that will protect the shoulder joint and demolish the opponent.
The warrior needs to understand that this area of the body is not worked best with a single pushing exercise like the bench press. Beneath the large shoulder muscles lie the four muscles called the rotator cuff. These muscles are used to decelerate the arm when punching and to rotate the arm during clinches, ground work, and submission attempts. Since these muscles are small and commonly under-trained, warriors often injure them.
Since the shoulder joint is the most mobile joint of the body, there are many possible positions that the shoulder joint can attain during an MMA match. Make sure that the shoulder is being trained at many angles and in many directions in order to help stabilize this mobile and often unstable joint. Injury to this area can be devastating and career ending. The right exercises will ensure that the only career that is in jeopardy is that of your opponent.

Dragon Warrior $103.56 Dragon Warrior, known as Dragon Quest in Japan, is a console roleplaying game developed by Chunsoft and published in Japan by Enix (now Square Enix) in 1986 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Dragon Warrior has been ported and remade for several platforms including the MSX, Super Famicom, Game Boy Color, and mobile phones. It is the inaugural game in Enixs flagship Dragon Quest series, which was known as the Dragon Warrior series in North America until 2003 due to a trademark conflict with the roleplaying game (RPG) DragonQuest and TSR, Inc. (later Wizards of the Coast). Dragon Warrior was one of the first exposures to console RPGs for gamers in the US when it was released. Its effects on the console RPG genre have been compared to be above and beyond that of the more widely recognized, in the west, title of Final Fantasy. While it was not the first game to feature RPG elements, it set a template by which all future console RPGs continue to follow. Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 166 Publication Date: 2010/04/29 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.38 inches |

Warrior Queen - $19.99 ER regular Alex Kingston stars as the title character in this British-produced biopic of first century A.D. "warrior queen" Boudica. After the death of her husband, King Prasutagus (Steven Waddington), the feisty Boudica becomes the leader of the Iceni, a Celtic tribe living in East Anglia. Though Boudica and her followers put up a valiant defense, their homeland is overrun by the Roman legions of the mad emperor Nero (Andrew Lee Potts), who has devised a hellish scheme to put the "ginger bitch" in her place. Beaten and bound by the conquering soldiers, Boudica is forced to watch as her daughters are brutally raped. Assuming that the Iceni queen has been humbled and no longer poses a threat to the Empire, Nero spares her life -- which turns out to be one of the emperor's biggest errors in judgment, as the vengeful Boudica and her army set about to prove in bloodthirsty fashion that she is, to paraphrase a much-later British monarch, a queen with "the heart and stomach of a king." In America, Warrior Queen proved to be an uncharacteristically violent Masterpiece Theatre offering when it was broadcast over PBS in the fall of 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |

In The Naked Warrior Pavel reveals exactly what it takes to be super-strong in minimum time-when your body is your only tool. |
