Luke is known for his discipline in the gym. He and his strength coach, Joey Wolfe, have prepared a customized training routine that will help him prepare optimally and recover at the same time.He trains twice a day, just two days a week. On Tuesdays and Thursdays he does wrestling and grappling practice in the morning and hits the gym in the evening for strength training.On Monday, Wednesday and Friday he saves, works on his footwork and does flexibility exercises. His routine isn’t set in stone, however, and switches around when he feels he needs to focus on other things.For his strength training sessions, he trains at Wolfe’s Training Studio in Santa Cruz, California. They focus on improving his strength through total body workouts. The training is based on compound movements that focus on the strong core. The plyometric exercises are also included in his training to improve his functional strength.He also makes sure he eats right. Every day he eats four clean meals and drinks two protein shakes. He usually tries to cook for himself, but if he’s too tired, he calls his nutritionist. Also, he makes sure to rehydrate his body adequately after sweating buckets during his grueling workouts.
