Shokei Marcsui Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 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. Ichi Geki, Hissatsu one strike, certain death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 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 Osu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 I wish it was as simple as that. Some people are just hard gainers. It is genetics.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.

marine0321 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 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.

Toby Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 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. "The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering." - Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 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. "The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering." - Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
