Strength & Power

Strength and power on Champ Workouts is the weight room and the jumps, pulled out of each sport so you can compare them. Alex Pereira’s camp builds the knockout. Femke Bol pairs Olympic lifts and hip thrusts with plyometrics in the same session. Simone Biles turns leg conditioning into tumbling. The two swimmers, Katie Ledecky and Léon Marchand, do the same job on dryland: strength that has to show up in the last length.

Jon Jones lifts inside an MMA week that also has intervals and mat work. Conor McGregor’s MMA overview includes the strength block beside the boxing and the jiu-jitsu. None of these are bodybuilding splits. They are the sets that serve a skill the next day.

Conditioning is the neighbour when the question is the engine rather than the force. Fight skills is the neighbour when the question is the technique those sets are for. The sport hubs still hold the full week.
