I Tried Conor McGregor's Training Plan (McGregor vs Khabib 2018)

It's gonna be a good one.

New trend, this is going to be— you're going to see on Friday night, Harcourt Street, everyone's going to be wearing these and these, right? You heard it here first.

That takes the sweat off from your ass, right? So what happens is it's quite a lot, so you get chafing otherwise. Yeah, you put these on, first it's padded and then it stops the chafing.

Can't wait to wear these. Oh, Conor McGregor and all. There we go. All right, people, welcome to today's video. Yeah, excuse the crazy getup, it's going to make sense in a second. But today we are with the McGregor Fast people and I'm actually going to be taking on Conor McGregor's conditioning program. So we're starting off on this contraption.

I guess me, I guess me.

Jules here is going to put me through my Paceless. Nice, the rest of my outfit. So yeah, let's see how I do. Let's get after it.

You're going to do, uh, 5 seconds and you're going to try and give your maximum power output. 3, 2, 1, and go!

All right, so do you want to run us through how I did here?

Rob, for his 5 seconds, he We got just over 1,100 watts, which is excellent, fantastic power output. The MMP over the 3 minutes was 188 watts, so it's decent but not quite as good. So it's kind of what we predicted because Rob's more of an explosive power athlete rather than an endurance athlete, so it's kind of what we expected. There isn't much point in going too too far into that, just to keep it on the emphasis on the power end of things.

Yeah, well, what I like, we were just saying there, that you have the numbers right in front of you. So, you know, you said there's no hiding, something to gauge it from. So I think that's very cool as well. And it's kind of like bodybuilding, you know, setting personal records. It's just a different form of it, you know, just want to beat those numbers.

Everything is carbon fiber.

That's crazy. So $15,000 for this, Connor's actual bike. And would you say that was with paint?

It's actually 24-karat gold leaf.

That is the first part of the day done. Now we're heading up to, I think it's a boxing studio or something.

Oh, love this song.

And we're doing a machine, there's only 2 of them in existence apparently. I don't even know how to describe it, but of course we'll see now. So I need to get some water in, maybe like a little snack, and yeah, we'll go give it a roll. But I think One of the best parts about there is just when they're counting down, 3, 2, 1, you get like an adrenaline rush. You're like, okay, I'm about to give it my all. So apparently I did really good on the 5-second power output. On the 3-minute part of the test, I wasn't as good, but that's what was expected. But anyways, I'm loving today so far, and yeah, let's keep killing it. We made it, and that's the first thing we see. Welcome to the Pain Cave. Notorious. And there's only two of these in existence, or in Europe or something?

Yeah, that's like a prototype, so yeah, we built it all ourselves.

Nice, bring it on!

All right, there's an air brake on it, so the faster you pedal, the harder it gets. All right, well, if you want to be UFC material, I'm looking for 750-800 watts max.

Right, you won't hold that, right?

300?

Yeah, yeah, no, we'll be getting the 750. I'm not leaving here till we get that.

See, it leads up when you complete the block. You'll get a little break. So this is your rest period, leads up into it, same thing.

It's harder to do off bike. The protein bar is better. Goes right off. Jesus Christ, this is tough. Does this tell me I've only burned 60 calories? Yeah, protein bar. Yes, Jesus Christ.

200.

Yeah, yeah, so it just goes to prove that diet is way more important when it comes to body composition.

You just can't outtrain it.

You won't outtrain it. After all that, one bite of a protein bar and you're already—

you're hungry. Bloody thing. There you go, people. 80% diet, 20% training. But, but you should give 100% to both. Right, hungry, thirsty. I actually think I have some gloves in my car.

Do you?

Boxing? Yeah, MMA ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And wraps as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you make a little— you open your hands a little bit, make a little bit of a pad. Like that. And then you open your hand nice and wide, keep it nice and wide. You put the little pad on. Yeah, like so. And then you bring it around and you make a fist.

There you go.

1, 2. Open nice and wide between the fingers.

Feeling good. Yeah, different level, isn't it? Yeah, jeez, different gravy.

Everything as well is on rotation. If I want to throw a jab, I'm turning. So my shoulder is turning, and then when I come back again, I rotate the opposite way. So that's kind of 1, and then 2 the opposite way. So you're loose, and then when you hit it, you hit it. Think about the hip.

Nice. Yeah, move around, relax your shoulders. Oh, 5 weeks every morning, yeah.

6 AM. Yeah, but what happens is it—

that's turning into a statue.

Find the people that are of your ability, because some people have trained a little bit before from— I mean, you have some sort of training background. Yeah, yeah, rugby is great for doing takedowns. Yeah, because you have to drive through, um, and it's a good thing to do.

Yeah, absolutely. I'll make for amazing content. Yeah, comment down below if that's what you want to see. All right, so after that epic day, we are Hungry. We're playing safe here, right? So I got a Caesar salad, sauce on the side, okay? That's a pro tip right there. And then we're sharing a flatbread because, you know, it's romantic to share food. Me and Nabil having a lovely time here. You killed it with that superfood salad, that looks amazing. So we're gonna dig in here now, chill for a little bit, and then I still gotta do some weight training later, right? We about that life. And Nabil wants to get a lift in as well. So eat this, chill for a bit, get a bit of work done because it is a Tuesday. Bank all day yesterday, so back to business today. And, uh, yeah, catch up with you guys in a bit. Quick little update on the Mercedes: I am getting the rims black, probably spray black. I'm getting the calipers done red, and then I'm thinking about getting this thing wrapped black so it's kind of like just black all the way through. I think that would look pretty dope. And then in the winter, I'll get the whole thing wrapped black, just so it feels like a new car. Anyways, comment down below what you think, and if you know any kind of mechanics or West Coast Customs shops in Dublin that you'd recommend, please let me know because actually it's very hard to find one. I don't know why. But anyways, yeah, so that's the plan. We're gonna hit the road now. I think we're gonna go look for froyo. Okay, we're hungry. Okay, that pizza was like spicy. We just want froyo. We just want froyo. Yo, so we fell asleep for the day. We passed out. We got some food and now we're hitting legs. There's never a dull moment, right? It's an action-packed day every single day. But I swear to God, I feel zapped, right? I feel weaker than usual, but either way, we're going to give it our best and we're going to get after it. And then we're going to go to sleep just feeling content with the day, all right? Let's get it. All right. New leg press machine in Raw, by the way. Come check it out.

Yeah.

All right, so that workout there was some straight leg deadlifts, leg press, we did leg extensions, we did hamstring curls, we did some calves, and finish off some abs. Today has been a long day. I'm going to go outside, wrap up this video. So first of all, I just want to give a big thank you to everyone at Team McGregor who put me through my paces today. It was just really good banter, to be honest. It was a good laugh, and again, just something completely out of my comfort zone, which I really enjoyed doing. Uh, again, all the clothes that I'm wearing today's video are from Alphalete. The next launch is on August 11th. It's a very, very good product line, and if you want to get any of that stuff, the link is in the description box. I appreciate if you use that link. So today was actually quite interesting. As expected. You know, my power output was really good at the start of the day. My 3 minutes on the Wattbike, they were actually pretty surprised with how good that was, so I'm proud of that. Uh, the rowing machine I sucked at, okay, my technique was terrible. And then the, the boxing machine, that gassed me out. That was, that was something else. And again, it's just those machines, they're just like, there's 2 of them in the country, okay, or in Europe or in the world or something. So it was just completely new to me. That Winded me, okay? I was done for after that. You probably see it on my face. Yeah, I do just train for aesthetic purposes, but that my fitness is actually pretty decent. The lads said it was decent, right? Yeah, they did. They said it was decent, you know? So I'm happy with that. And finally, I want to give the best of luck to Conor, who is fighting Khabib in October in Vegas. Odds are I'm gonna be there, you know? Be hard for me to not get involved in that. And I'm a huge supporter of any Irishman achieving greatness and leaving their mark in the world. So best of luck, see you in Vegas. Thanks for watching, keep it real, I'm outta here.
