If you follow former Bellator champion Michael Chandler on social media, you’ve probably noticed that sharing clips of his intense workout routine is kind of his thing.

Whether he’s lifting stuff, dragging stuff, jumping over stuff – it all looks pretty damn impressive all the way over here from the couch.

The dumbbell workout that Chandler (19-4 MMA, 15-4 BMMA) shared this morning, however, straight-up looks like something out of Rocky training montage. (via Instagram)

Chandler said this is one of the “most challenging things” he’s tried lately. And you know what? We absolutely believe him. The other stuff doesn’t look particularly easy, though, as you can check out for yourselves in the clips below.

WARNING: These make get you super pumped to hit the gym, but they may also make you feel a little bit inadequate about your own average human body. Watch at your own risk.

Chandler often breaks down each specific workout, along with some motivational messages. This one even comes with a “Don’t try this at home” warning (not that we’d need it, but noted).

An honorable mention in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, the 32-year-old fighter has recently re-signed with Bellator, his longtime home. He rides back-to-back wins over Brandon Girtz and Goiti Yamauchi, following a stoppage loss to Brent Primus that cost him the promotion’s lightweight title.

Chandler’s return date is still unknown, but we’d be willing to bet he’ll be in good shape for it.
