white lily Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 just make sure that you train for your art. General weight training has very little transferability to the the specific requirements of the combative arts.take the time to search the net for info...maybe start at https://www.martial-athlete.com or the https://www.dragondoor.com. Both will give you the specific training info you desire.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ki master Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 sounds fun I would like to read it "Now the valiant can fight; the cautious can defend, and the wise counsel. Thus there is none whose talent is wasted."-Li Ch'uan- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragn Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 A book like that will probably give you a good intro to the basic techs of body building. Good enough for a start. But once you get seriously into strength training you'll want to look for something more specific for athletes.Body building and power training for sports are quite different. Pretty bodies and big muscles arent always as strong as they look. Following a body building program can actually have a negative effect on your progress.
