The eccentric contractions account for up to 50% muscle growth so if you just let gravity do the work by dropping the weight fast, you are missing out on it's effects. Explosive concentric contractions are great for developing power. It’s not new, but it works great.

GSP always seemed to have the upper hand with his opponents in the grappling, but now he just mauls them. Before GSP went to Chaimberg, he could only do 10 pull ups with his body weight, which isn't very impressive for any athlete. Though reps with the added 100lb dumbbell is very impressive.

The best examples are Olympic lifters. They are very strong (obviously) but are not as muscular as bodybuilders (even clean/natural ones).

I'm sure a lot of track athletes do it regularly, but for an MMA athlete, it's pretty good. He was bunny-hopping the hurdles consecutively (ie two-footed and no running start).

Just kidding. I hate being at work, I can't watch the video until I get home. What's so impressive about the hurdles? Is he jumping regular hurdles or does he have weights on or something?

Yep, Denny could do with some more actual fight practice. I had to watch it again to hear him call Kang Denny. Yep, Denny could do with some more actual fight practice.
