GhostlySykanRyu Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I agree that ki can help you in many areas, such as lifting...and these things can lead to your goals. Read an article in the latest Muscle & Fitness magazine...the world record for most amount lifted with the legs the most times belongs to a rather thin man. He says that his strength comes not from his body (which is obvious in his case), but from meditation and prayer. I'll type up some more details tomorrow if anyone is interested.

GhostlySykanRyu Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 LOL, sorry...forgot to check the thread. Hopefully I'll be able to find the magazine tomorrow To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
GhostlySykanRyu Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 100 Tons In One Night:"Nov. 13. On a star-studded night in Queens, New York, 73-year-old Sri Chinmoy lifted 200,873 pounds-more than 100 tons. Athletes, dignitaries and entertainers were on hand, and many were lifted by the 5'7", 170-pound guru. Chinmoy shoulder-pressed Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis above his head on a custom lifting stand; he used a standing calf-raise machine to raise Roberta Flack a couple of inches off the ground while she performed on a grand piano; and he completed 40 reps of more than 1,500 pounds on a seated calf-raise machine. Says Chimnoy: "The power is coming from an inner source, from my prayer and meditation.""You can find this and the rest of the features in the article in Muscle and Fitness Magazine (April 2005).The guy looks like an average 60 year old...in good shape, but physically in no condition to be able to do those things. If this isn't an example of Ki at work, then it's a miracle... To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
