GFD, I don't like you much. I just want to get this out in the open. There is little doubt in my mind that you're trolling. Evidence: your commends on the he-man thread in P&M, starting your first post with "I do not believe in extreme strength training for martial arts" when you're in the strength and power forum, referencing diesel weasel who has been mocked by everyone and their mother in the strength world for his hideous form and shitty attitude.
Regardless, I will tell you the answers you seek:
- Start lifting heavy. Strength will ONLY aid a martial artist.
- do not lift like DW, you will kill yourself (or at least hurt yourself). His form is atrocious in just about all of his videos, and where it isn't his lifts aren't impressive.
- read the stickies.
- Learn to train your grip. The kettlebell toss and catch is more a grip exercise. Personally I prefer a swing and catch with a KB that has a thicker handle.
- Start lifting heavy, and knock off this "heavy weights will make you slow" horse shit
- quit trolling in my forum. If you are genuinely ignorant, i reccomend you make the effort to read a bit before making an ass out of yourself.
Thread closed. DW videos are not an example to lift by, they are an example of how to wreck your back when your attitude and ego exceed your capabilities.
