Hi. The trick to this is that you are exercising the muscles tendons etc but because there is no weight, there is no "grinding" of the joints possible. You can get
quite a nice pump with this by doing it morning afternoon and evening, and because there is no weights involved there is no shattering of the muscle fibers
possible,
again all good rehabilitating work. Should see a positive effect very quickly, but do not strain yourself this is supposed to be remedial work do not go for the
burn.
Recovery time: It also depends on how much work you are doing on your other body parts as the body only has a limited amount of recovery abilities.
Definetly is good stuff take it from me, remember a change or variety is the most important part of training. Keep the muscles guessing, different angles, different
tactics
Another thing, punchbag work. I used to be a pro boxer, gives you strong bones and joints.
Here's how it works. Some guys can smash bricks, stones, tiles with their hands. Scientific tests on these individuals have shown they have
very dense bones and joints.
When they do their punchbag work, the shock of hitting the bag travels back down their arms and damages the bones, slightly.
More or less in a similar way lifting weights damages muscles.
Over time the bones grow back, but this time stronger and thicker.
The guy i saw had bones almost twice as dense as an ordinary man's
And i know when i throw in some punchbag work my hands, elbows feel a lot better, just got to remenber to keep it up. so busy nowadays
i barely find time to do a workout properly never mind fitting in all the light work, stretching, making and eating 7 meals a day, supplements, whey, etc etc
Oh well enough of my problems
