Thank you Neil! I wish I had a better way to state the information that I have learned over the years. Needless to say, this comes from years of being a Physical Training Freak in the Marines. Neil is right in that by training everyday NOT to your limit you create muscles that are DENSE, STRONG, but not large. Think Bruce Lee. When you work to your absolute limit, you create muscles that are large and filled with fluid. Hence they look big but are not as functional as smaller denser muscles. When you lift HEAVY HEAVY weights but never to your max, you train your body to be extremely strong. And who said that you cannot work your body everyday. Look at cowboys and farmers that bail hay all day long. They are extremely strong and wiry. In order to test yourself, I do what I call "endos"...or endurance sessions. I do sets of pushups, pullups abdominals, and dips, varying how each exercise is done, doin almost to my max burn, then go to the next exercise, etc...going until I can go on but it hurts too much (lactic acid burn). This does not destroy the muscle but forces your body to raise your lactic acid limit. If you want some more details and to see my exact workout, which will turn you into a ripped, hard and scary fighter, EMAIL me at mclawson@terriclawson.com

Looneyas, Yes. You are exersizing your entire body every day. But you know how many exersizes I do? 3!!! Deadlift, Bench, and Weighted Pullups. With these three exersizes I workout my whole body. I am working all of my muscles at multiple angles. If you think about it, in martial arts you hardly ever throw a punch or kick at the exact same angle. So when you workout you never should do an exersize that you work your muscle at exactly the same angle. Bench is the only exersize I do that comes close to this. But I try and vary the angle every time. Imagine, you are lifting extremely heavy weights for low reps every time. Your body is getting used to ballistic shock. It is getting used to heavy weight. No more sissy stuff!

Combatants, It is time for me to once again stir up the hornets nest. I have always been tall, lanky, and weak. I have worked according to current american exersize doctrines with no progress. I began studying what other countries do and what the strongmen of the past did in order to have such great strength at such a low bodyweight. Since then, I have become exceedingly strong and powerful. My fitness level is high. My pain level? ZERO! I never wake up sore. Imagine that. This is like a new religion to me and I hope to help out all of those poor people that are constantly damaging and hurting themselves for absolutely no reason. Stop hurting yourself. My knowledge costs nothing. I want us all to be stronger. I will explain further as time goes by. The first thing you must do right now is stop working to failure. STOP. Every time you work to exhaustion you are tearing your muscles down, destroying them and their strength potential. When you workout, keep it short and sweet, and do not work to failure. For example, if you bench press 145 pounds for 6 reps, the sixth rep being your absolute last, only do five reps, or maybe even four. Do this for 3 sets EVERY day. You will not be sore. You will not be weak. And your strength will grow daily. Try it and see. More to come.
