Training to improve force in arms.

[Cmon]

Ive herd that if you keep pushing down on a tire and do it as a traning tool it helps improve your ability to use your artms more powerfully does this work? Do you understand what i mean?

[Mr Pockets]

My opinion would be that you need to to lift weights if you want more power. That and train hard in striking or grappling or wherever you want that power.

Technique.

Using your whole body, not just your arms to give you power.

Anything that strengthens your triceps will help too.

pushing down on the tire, if the elbows are kept close to the body, is working the triceps - it would be akin to doing tricep pressdowns on a machine, only with less resistance, as the tire is not as heavy as the weights. As the resistance of the tire cannot be increased, the strength level you can attain is limited.

Please buy this book. Its the best book for systematic training I have ever seen in 41 years of involvement in MA.

Using the systems will help you develop incredible power and you dont need weights or equipment, just your body.
