Hard, hard work

“I am not talented. People tell me I am but I don’t believe in talent. I believe in hard work. I am not talented. I am obsessed.”

Conor McGregor got to where he is by taking his heart, body and soul to the brink, breathing deep and doing it all over again.

‘The Notorious’ is targeting redemption against Nate Diaz at UFC 202 before a probable return to defend his UFC featherweight crown.

McGregor, as he has proclaimed, talks the talk and walks the walk. To do the second, belt-winning part he needs to put in serious hours, and graft, in the gym.

Back in July, McGregor was filmed in Dublin for a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look into his training routine and recovery programme. ‘Conor McGregor’s Obsession’ shows the Dubliner as he practices his boxing, grappling and Capoeira.

As a Team BSN Athlete, McGregor is a firm proponent of the leading sports nutrition company’s pre-, intra- and post-training supplement range (shakes and bars), which features its Syntha-6 Edge protein. The supplements, he says, help him build muscle, recover faster and prepare for ‘whatever and whoever is next’.

The video also features some of that McGregor levity that has helped propel him to the top of the MMA game and win him fans the world over.

BSN is a global leader in the sports nutrition industry, having won more than 35 sports nutrition awards for its training supplement range and you can watch the full Syntha-6 Edge advert here.
