DDP’s “YRG” Zero Impact Fitness

I am sure you are getting “bored” withmy Suicide Circuit by now, so I thoughtI would give you a treat. Meet mybuddy Diamond Dallas Page! Yeah,that’s HIM! You know, the old guyfrom the WWF (now the WWE), andthe WCW.

As you can imagine, he took A TON ofpunishment from the likes of Goldbergto Hulk Hogan. How much punish-ment? He was nearly crippled, and hecould not touch his own feet whilestanding.

Then he invented a brutal version oftraining that mixes Yoga, Resistancetraining, functional core training andeven a bit of Gymnastics! It hurts sobad, but you feel so GOOD afterward!

It’s kind of like a shot of Jack Daniels.It sucks going down, but it makes youfeel all warm and fuzzy inside later.

As MMA has progressed from brawlerslike Tank Abbot to the technical move-

ments of Anderson Silva and GSP, somust your core and functional training.

Too many athletes neglect stretchingand myofascial release techniques. Youneed to continuously innervate yournervous system to accept greaterstresses on your fascia and tendons toattain a release. This allows you toincrease your range of motion. Thisoccurs when the nervous signal reachesthe Golgi tendon organs where themuscle touches tendon material(origins, insertions), and the signal getsoverridden to allow your muscle torelax and stretch, instead of tighteningup and shortening the muscle belly.

DDP can do some CRAZY movementsas you can see. Please try some of his

philosophies out and watch his videosthat walk you through it (Watch thevideo in our DIGITAL EDITION!). Myfat butt got embarrassed by him! Myheart rate spiked while virtuallystanding still with ZERO IMPACT on

my body. He calls it dynamic resist-ance, wherein you flex your muscles ashard as possible while moving througheach movement. This increased bothmy turgor pressure in the musclebellies and increased my blood flow.We kept this elevated level for 30-45minutes.

Afterward, we cooked buffalo burgers,had a salad with balsamic vinegar and ahalf gallon of water. This guy lives anorganic, spiritual life and he takes histraining VERY seriously. He is NOTSteven Seagal taking credit for a kickthat Erik Paulson did in Shooto 20years ago. LOL!

DDP is a solid cat, and as you will seelater in this issue, he has taken so muchtime to work with and entertain ourtroops overseas.

Feel free to reach him at dallas@dia-monddallaspage.com, or myself atdetroitdiesel34@aol.com.

P.S. DDP put me through YRGExtreme for advanced athletes. Therewas NO impact on my joints, yet aHELL of a lot of burning in mymuscles!
