Whey with water is *sick* lol. get some full fat milk, yog, fruit, oats, blend it all up, maybe add some PB in there etc. Whey is a way to boost your calories so really, if you aren't training, you shouldn't be using it. And yeah, it'll make you fat because its a calorie boost, heh. -sc00t

Best defense against a push according to my sensai: Long Stance or side step. Lol

I dont honestly know what type of karate it is. It's a martial arts form, doing kata's etc. Definately not TKD though - I wanted to do it but all the classes round here were full till april-ish! What exactly is "medium weights"? hehe. Thinking of more specific goals, I want to had more muscle in my upper body, gain some weight and gain stamina. -sc00t

Hi all, I just took up Karate2 weeks ago because I want to get strong & fit (perfect sport, right?) At the moment I go once a week and lessons are about 1 hour 30. Between lessons I want to do some other stuff to keep myself fit. I was thinking of the following: Mondays - Karate in the evening Tuesdays - distance running Wednesdays - off day Thursdays - running & light weights Fridays - running & light weights Saturdays - off day Sundays - running & heavier weights or weapons training I would of course be practicing my karate during the week. To improve my strength & fitness would you say this is a good weekly plan? Also would you boost your calorie intake and if so, in what format? (shakes, eating more, if so what? etc.) What goals should I be aiming for (like, what specific targets. I only have broad targets in my mind at the moment, i.e. get better at karate, be fitter... lol.) So yeah, I'm basically asking what specific goals would you go for, being in my position, and does the above plan seem ok? -sc00t
