Quinton Rampage Jackson Training
Most of his fitness training is MMA / martial arts training. Functional strength training, specific fighting drills – boxing, grappling, wrestling, kicking etc. Compound weight training exercises to build core and leg strength are also vital, so squats and deadlifts are worked hard. For upper body shoulder presses, bench presses, bent over rows, pull ups and curls are the key exercises.
I was wondering, will there be an article in the near future on Bradley Cooper? I’ve noticed that the last few movies that he’s done, he has been in outstanding shape!
