Deconditioning is really a bitch. Having a monstrous conditioning is not permanent and it gradually decreases as you stop or decrease your training. You could feel the effects of deconditioning as fast as one week or within four weeks. But being laid off for a year, and doing nothing according to Tito, must have taken a toll on his conditioning and we all know what happened to him at UFC 106. The only way to prevent deconditioning is regular strength and conditioning training.For a wrestler that relies so much on his takedowns it’s very important to have great conditioning.

Wanderlei Silva gives anaerobic training a whole new spin by actually eliminating air passage from his nose and if that wasn’t hard enough he further limited the intake of air with a snorkel. This workout will make your body crave for oxygen and will definitely tire you a lot faster. Don’t try this without supervision because you could totally pass out while doing this. This shows you how crazy Wanderlei’s conditioning is. But do you need to block your nose with a tape and breathe through a snorkel to enjoy this workout?? no. You could totally copy the workout he does but tone it down a bit to a more doable routine.
