Dynamic Conditioning Centre

As I’m sure you are well aware in today’s competitive world, people and companies will do almost anything they can to achieve and maintain that competitive edge.

The Jui Jitsu and MMA world are no different.  It is stated that a 150 pound man can control a 250 pound man with ease and without the use of weapons, strikes or miracles, provided he knows some MMA techniques.

I have a question for you fighters out there.

What happens if that man is of the same skill level as the 150 pound man?  In competition you may see this scenario over and over again, except the two men in question are also of the same weight.

Now let’s add a third element; fitness and strength (commonly known as conditioning) level.  If one of these two gentlemen is more powerful, explosive and well-conditioned, He will dominate the other hands down – without fail – every time! In fact I GUARANTEE IT!

THIS GENTLEMEN & LADIES, IS YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE!

Time after time I come across females who are terrified of lifting weight for the fear of looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ask yourself, do i have a beard, an “Adam’s Apple”, or a voice so deep it makes James Earl Jones sound like a preschooler. If your answer is no, then you have nothing to worry about. The female sex does not have the hormones (mainly testosterone) needed for hypertrophy. Following are some main reasons why you should include weight training into your training schedule.

I have a fully referenced article that I am going to post in a week or two, but first I wanted to get you thinking.  Below I have suggested some of the reason’s I believe resistance training to be beneficial and even important for women, but I want to know your questions, concerns and thoughts.

Here are a few reasons why I think women should not be afraid to lift weights as a form of exercise.

1. Helps prevent Osteoporosis
2. Helps prevent type 2 Diabetes.
3. Promotes correct posture.
4. Eliminate unnecessary fat by using it as fuel
5. Increased overall strength levels
6. Cosmetics
7. Helps with sleep managment

Do you think weight training is good or bad for women? Share your thoughts and experience!

I look forward to answering all of your questions and debunking the myths that come with female weight training.

Jonathan Hood is staking his name to a career in the CFL.

Jonathan played University football at STFX U and U of Western Ontario as a defensive back and linebacker.  He also returned kicks and was an allstar in the league breaking CIS kick return records.

Jonathan was drafted in 2008 by the Edmonton Eskimos and spent half a season there, before deciding to go to school to complete a Masters in Sports Psychology.  Now two years later after attending a number of combines and camps he’s gotten the call to go to camp for the Hamilton Ti Cats.  Camp begins in June and Jonathan is ready to assume his spot once again in the Canadian Football  League.

Originally from Mississauga Ontario, playing for Hamilton will enable Jonathan to continue his other career as a strength coach at the Dynamic Conditioning Centre in Toronto, where he has been a coach since the beginning of 2010.

We want to wish Jonathan the best of luck at camp!  Turn some heads Jon!
