Moldova is situated near Romania.Is a small and poor country.

 

I have brown belt ,9-years of training.I hope I will be a trainer soon,

 

I think this style is a most powerfull in the world.(full-direct contact).

My only issue with strength training, is that too many people do it wrong for the MAs. If you lift slow and strong, because you started with a lot of weight, then you teach your muscles to move slow and strong.

 

If you start off lighter, and make sure you keep the speed, then work up to heavier weights, also without reducing speed, then you'll have the advantage of the strength training without sacraficing speed.

 

In any case, I'm moving this to health and fitness, as these type topics are throughout that forum.

Great points about lifting slow and fast. Many people just want to get big and strong, hence the slow and heavy method. Great for putting on muscle and strength, but for speed and stamina, no. I have many friends who just want muscle and brawn who can outlift me in weight any day, but put just a 100 lbs on the bench, and ill outlast any of them no effort.

ya i lift fast with light weight so I can have explosive power, i also use wrist weights and do shadow boxing for about 10 minutes, i've been doing it for a couple weeks now and my punhcing speed is tremednous I feel like Bruce Lee, it has made an incredible improvment.

I believe strength training is a great asset to MA. You need to train many areas of strength though, such as reactive strength, explosive strength, starting strength, static strength and so on. As a MA'ist myself I would prefer doing something known as WSB(westside barbell) training and plyometrics for overall force production. F = M*A

Louie Simmons and his good old Westside Training. He trains to light for my taste. One thing I do like is the way he trains with Chains, interesting idea. And his ideas about training with boards are the best for increasing your bench!

 

From what someone said above, move the weights fast, but don't explode. Do an experiment, explode with the bench press, with your palms up. if the bar comes off the palms, then the force is doing more work then you are, you only worked the muscle for like the first few seconds, then force took over. Do it fast, but make sure the weight is so weight you can't explode! Note: Don't do this with the Bench press, unless you have a strong parnter near by, it may come down on your face!
