Re: Re: Strength/nosize Yes, punching or kicking power is speed and technique. What is technique? Generally it is leverage, momemtum and such. Well, next comes the no brainer. Now, how do you move your arm? With your muscles of course. And the faster you move your arm the better, but...

Stick to boxing pal- You obviously know nothing about wrestling or Judo- As they both definately DO have weight classes.

I am talking about strength. If you bothered to read a physiology book and learned the dynamics of a punch, how muscles are recruited to apply force and explosiveness you would probably have a better idea of how strength has lots of carry over. You know those people I listed? They have...

You wouldn't train that way at all? Ever? I'm not excluding the middle here, I am not advocating or saying somebody in a combat sport should train exclusively in the 1 rep or 3 rep range. I believe in a rounded training routine. (periodized) Some strength training like WSB, some endurance...

I know how boxers train. I also know how many martial artists train. Like little sissies afraid that they will get huge and slow down by lifting heavy weights. Sorry pal, knowing a couple boxers trainers names doesn't prove jack shit. Nor does saying go to a boxing gym and see how they...

Well obviously you don't train max close to a fight. There is a thing called cycling, just like in bodybuilding. You obviously aren't interested in learning, nor respectable debate, as you ignore the links I posted. Oh, you don't "need" to, thats right, you know more than them. :rolleyes...

http://www.sportsci.org/news/news9709/hatfield.html Says you- I think Dr. Squat thinks otherwise. So do many other strength trainers with some serious credentials and experience. Do you have evidence to back up your specious claims or are you just spouting crap that somebody, again with no...

Yes, it is possible to gain strength without size. It isn't all genetic, though much of it is. Some people can gain size no matter what they do but I would say that is rare. Just stick to the low reps, high weights. Try spreading your sets out over the day if you have that type of acess to...

I plan on implementing some sprints, though with my time schedules the way they are, the weekends are the only time I can do so. I also will not do jump rope. Not that I have anything against jump rope, just standing out on the sidewalk of my house jumping rope in front of the whole...

I am finally moving out of my small ass apartment (pretty much a studio apt), and getting a two bedroom apartment. The manager assures me that having 500lbs of weight isn't a problem and that the floor will hold it. So I am going to build a home gym! The room is pretty small however...

Fear do I sense. Fear leads to anger.. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering!

Don't confuse the Wall Street Journal with a peer reviewed science Journal. Totally different creatures they are.

Found this while pricing squat racks online, thought it was hilarious so I figured I would post it. [ tune of "Pinball Wizard" ] Ever since I was a mullet I worked out down at Gold's Gym Curlin' in the squat rack Somehow I still stayed slim Ain't seen nothin' like him Any place I've...

True, this is what I meant by being an elite athlete. I was tired and heading to bed when I wrote that and couldn't think of the right words. I think the steroids just aids in the recover even more.

Depends on if you are going for strength or size. Many Olympic lifters do their lifts several times a week. Some of the pro level lifters, such as the bulgarians lift every day of the week, and max. I wouldn't recommend that though- they are elite athletes and are so juiced it isn't funny...
