MMA VS SHREDIFY
We wanted to see for ourselves some of
these transformations, and fortunately
for us, two of Shredify’s Spartans have
come forward to show precisely what
Shredify has done for them.
Enter Reuben, a former paratrooper
and now hardened close protection
operative, and Owen, a mixed martial
artist who is preparing to undergo one
of the most demanding challenges ever,
‘Last One Standing England.’
Owen explains: “As a former elite
professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
athlete transitioning over to ultra-
endurance racing, I felt very
apprehensive about losing muscle mass
due to the nature of the sport. While it
would be optimal to carry less muscle,
I still aimed to maintain a certain amount
of muscle and just build a bigger, more
powerful engine to compensate. This is
why I introduced Shredify into my
training. Introducing Shredify made
training stress-free and saved me time
in terms of structuring my training
schedule with an easy to use application,
bespoke for my goals.
“A crucial benefit of utilising what
Shredify can offer is that it systematically
reduces the duration of my workouts,
which is very useful! And a relief as my
weeks were already packed out with long
and short distance running. Moreover,
introducing Shredify not only enabled
me to achieve my goal of maintaining
muscle mass during my long hours of
endurance training, but it also resulted
in a dramatic improvement in my body
composition. The best factor about this
change was that it didn’t hinder my
running progression and in fact,
improved my muscle endurance and
conditioning. As a result of this, I’m now
able to push harder and for longer during
training and competitions.”
On June 8th, 2019, Owen will face the
race of a lifetime; “Last One Standing
England” a UK qualifier for the main
event “Big’s Backyard Ultra” in America
in October 2019. The race consists of a
4.1-mile loop, repeated on the hour, every
hour until only one person is standing.
The current UK record is 38 hours, and
the winner will go on to face the elite of
the elites at the main event. The current
American record stands at 62 hours.
Owen says: “I’ve used Shredify to help
prepare for this gruelling event, Shredify
has taken me to new levels that I wasn’t
aware of, and I now feel confident in
BEFORE AFTER bringing home the win!”
