Conditioning or Bulk?

[Shokei Marcsui]

Don't forget to work your opposing muscle groups.

If you wanna bulk you gotta eat more.

I wish it was as simple as that. Some people are just hard gainers. It is genetics.

when i first started karate i trained in the gym 3 times a week, tryin to bulk, becuase i thought it wuld benifit my karate. Which in a little way it did, through strength, but personally my opinion wuld b conditioning, because it focuses on your own progression in karate. But it all depends on the person, some say they dont condition because of the effects tht culd happen later in life..

like i said my opinion, others my disagree

I'm starting to think that, so I'm going to concentrate more on conditioning...

But I will still put in the effort to bulk up, as I want to gain at least 10 killograms. Then I'll be 65kg. Which I think is a good weight.

Once again, thank you to everyone who replied.

well bruce lee figured out a way to do both,dont ask how because i didnt read that article but if u look round u should find away

Had the same problem before the marine corp. they fixed that with super sets

example: do you bench as normal, do your max weight then rack your bar and pick up light weight dumnbells for flies right after you rack up your bench bar. (no rest)

Dook Sau - Yeah I know he did both, I have watched a lot of his videos and read parts of Tao Of Jeet Kune Do, probably should read it more thoroughly though.

Marine - I start off at about 50% of my body weight when I bench press and then build up to my max in a number of sets, each with increasing weight.

I do have some medical reasons why it's probably not easy for me to gain weight too. Which I'd rather not say for the time being.

cool u do jeet kune do what is it like?(i also read the tao of jeet kune do ^_^)

[Toby]

I don't aactually "do it" as such, in a practical manner. I just study the theory behind it. I can't do it practically as there's no dojo's around here.
