I own a weight bench and all the accesories and it is a great way work a specific muscle group. However I think nothing beats a plain old pushup. If you do want to add some muscle then diet is important. I like to eat alot of chicken and plenty of fruit.

If I remember rightly, then it's 4500 calories a day when your doing intensive training. Bruce Lee described running as the master of all excersise. It's not advisable to "jump in the deep end", though, as I know from personal experience... it hurts.

with weights, there's a dynamic muscle course, which leads you from the basics to the super squat routine which "should not be attempted by anyone under the age of 16 without the assistance of an adult. It is reccomended that you consult your doctor for a full medical checkup before commencing the super squat routine". -- needles to say... i've never tried it.

I once tried a combination of weight training and TKD, at first it seemed rather impossible to combine the two, but after a month or two I began to notice the benefits.

 

There are some books on the subject available at all good book stores.

 

Weight Training for Martial Artists (can't remember the name of the author), and Power Training in Kung Fu and Karate by Ron Marchini & Leo Fong, to name a couple. These will give you a brief outline in combining weight lifting with martial arts. :karate:

I use the hand-weights to work the chest, biceps, triceps, and i think the trapezius muscle (one's in between the shoulder and the neck)... I do squats and puchups and various forms of crunches (leg-lifts, crunches, etc)...

 

I find that the weights help with my power a hell of a lot - even though i don't strictly train in all of them.

Weight lifting is great. I can't name everything so grabe a weight lifting book and learn.

 

My best advise is:

 

Al ways do right tec no matter what

 

Al ways try to do 8 to 12 reps( not to easy, not to hard)

 

When you feel it in you mucles, you are doing it worng,

 

When you are feeling it in you joints, you are doing it wrong.

 

Don't arch your back in bench press.

Reading these things always gets me in the mood to train... I'm off to try to do 100 pushups (no small feat for a 14 year old) along with some curls and overheads with the weights... biab! :razz:

Go out and get Dorian Yate's (5 time Mr. Olympia) "Blood and Guts" book. You'll really learn how to stimulate your muscles into growth and to develop power. He also has diet tips in there for all those people wishing to lose fat. I followed Dorian's regiment and it really works. If you don't believe me, check out my picture in the picture thread.
