Best muscle group

[Safroot]

Hello guys, just wanna know your opinion which muscle group you concentrate on more while training in the gym ?! arms, chest, back ...etc

Which group is most important and why ?!!

This may seem like a cop out answer but you should work out all of your muscles (not all in the same day though). The best thing is to have a good balance through your entire body, not just focus on one area. Focusing on one are can create imbalance in your MA techniques.

I agree with Zaine.

Although if I have to pick one it's my heart.

I tend to focus on cardio when I'm in the gym.

After that I do joint strengthening exercises which develop muscle groups in general but also reinforce your joints.

Good point Zaine and totally agree with you, I am balancing my training in the Gym but my question was which muscle group is important for my karate practice and as I got from your reply was SHOULDERS !

No one muscle group is most important. When at the gym you should work all muscle groups.

But if you want a muscle group that is more important would be the heart and cardiovascular system.

say you go to the gym 6 days a week and 1 rest day. 1 day on legs, 1 on arms/chest, 1 back, 1 cardio, 1 core & obliques, 1 everything, BUT you do cardio in every single on of the sessions not just your cardio day

Totally agree with you, Cardio is my start point every session in the gym and I am trying to balance the rest of muscles throughout the week

What I do in every gym session is do cardio for a warm up, weights on whatever segment of body i want then i do more cardio afterwards as a cool down.

That's exactly what I do except for cardio after, I just do some stretching and go home

In my opinion, core strength is the most important because everything originates from there-kicking, striking, throwing, balance, etc.

Everything else is secondary.
