Strength training for the Martial Artist

[Red J]

If people think that past 50 you are only building endurance these people are complete idiots.

 

First of all I didn't say that, but you were disrespectful to all that posted before you.

I am not obnoxious

Let's take a poll, I think that you will be surprised.

ht e reasen |I say this is because its true. Anyone that sais that past 50 you build endurance then they have never even had the courage to try them. I did and I have never looked back!

I have also not looked back, but I don't have to insult people to make a point. Many people also strength train using high reps with weights which also can give you the same effect as body weight training and can increase the angles that they can do it from. Now, for someone that can only do 6 handstand pushups the theory does not apply as there is too much weight and maybe, just possibly, the person would be better off doing military presses with 125 pounds and 15 reps. The possibilities are endless with an open mind. I personally prefer bodyweight exercises because it is so much easier to move the equipment when you are done. OK, occasionally I get out the dumbells to do some lateral raises and arm exercises. Busted!
