1 gig!?! holy crap, tell me its free...

yea someone move it there. anyway, lifting for ma's is much like regular ol lifting. boxers recommend lifting 6-10 reps moving the weight fairly fast, though not too fast... just not super slow. once you hit your target size, a lot of guys stop lifting and maintain it through their crazy training.

ive never donr that kung fu, whatever it is. but i did do a different one. and, as with most styles of that type, i was not at all impressed with the abilities taught, and would not recommend it to anyone wanting to learn to fight.

i dressed up as myself, and i just happen to be the guy with the worlds biggest... uh, ego.

it can be better unless you get too tired to do your muscles' maximum potential when lifting. that is, if by your last set of rows youre too exausted from the nonstop lifting to lift what you coud if you werent circuit training, those muscles are getting cheated a better workout.

i had a few friends from highschool who took it (after highschool) to build muscles faster for athletic stuff, and they swore by it. ive never tried it though.

theres really no use in distinguishing close up and ranged... youre either in striking range, in grappling range (clinched or on the ground), or completely out of range. try a more complete striking style like muay thai or boxing... and some kind of grappling is also a good idea.

best critique is how you feel. if youre seeing improvements, good. if youre too sore the next day, bad. etc. suggestions though, keept chest, tris, shoulders on the same day, bis and back on the same day, and legs whenever. also, maybe do a bit more cardio if thats in your goals. heavy bag is my favorite.

sasori said it perfectly. although, i dont know of any bone cancer cases....

...im pretty sure its less than 98% (your quote).

youve gone from grappling to mma. cant be a bad thing.

dont take this the wrong way, but i dont think you know much about fighting. never, ever, ever throw a head kick on the street unless the guy is on his knees or something. if you kick at a standing guys head youre probably screwed.

i like grappling with girls...

50% of all fatal car crashes in the us involved alcohol.

sure it is, and i like that too. still though...

hehe eat food, there you go. just remember: mcdonalds is not food! food pyramid has most of the answers you need.

while using dumbells is better, if you dont drop the bar beyond the point at which your arms are parallel with the ground (the triceps portion) its usually okay.

first of all, if on the street, dont use your tkd kicks. anyway, in MT there arent a lot of different kicks, but most of them are useful on the street with shoes on. the front push kick (or a front snap) is the same as if you didnt have shoes on- the ball of your foot goes into the target. a roudhouse kick hits with the shin anyway, so once youre good enough at it you can do it with boots on. even a side kick, with the heel of your foot or shoe, is about the same. the only real problem with shoes on the street is their weight. personally, though, while kics are useful, i rely more on my hands when dealing with street confrontations.

most fancy thing ive ever done in a real situation was a thai kick. well, i suppose some grappling things might be fancier, i dunno.

to make sure i was on track id take on 3 or 4 guys my size all at once and see where i came out. any group of fools in an alley or bar will do, you just have to make sure theyre not armed somehow. (easier in the summer time.)

ITF means itchy trigger finger.

theres always hte palm...

when, and IF the police show up to question me, ill explain in such a way that ill be just fine. if someone swings on you, and you break their arm trying to defend yourself, at least in my state, you havent broken the law. any place where this isnt true has stupid law makers.

what does his voice sound like?

what the crap..?
