Wow, I didnt realize there so many benifets to lifting weights........

[Equilibrium]

I have said it many times in this section but i just stopped trying cause people are just too ****ing ******. Lifting weights does not automatically means body building.

I lift weights for physical strenght purposes and i never gave a crap about putting on muscle. I lift heavy and do low reps, and i also do plyometrics.

It never made me slower or less explosive, on the contrary, i am faster and stronger than i have ever been. I have been boxing since i was 15 and did more traditional martial arts when i was a kid. I didn't lift any enough before i was about 19-20, and once i started it was for the best.

If you think that weights are bad for any athlete, i won't even argue with you, i'll just say that you are a dumbass.

Not much cardio, but a good 5 mins at a relaxed pace can be help full. lots of muscles in the legs large muscles and your body has to work harder to power and recover those muscles. so by exercising those muscles even a little bit your body ends up releasing greater amounts of hormones for energy and recover then if you didnt spend those 5 mins walking at 4 mph...not to mention all the benefits of warming up for 5 mins before stretching and exercising.

None,i trained on and off..i sparred a lot..i never trained to fight..it was more for learning how to fight if i needed for the street..i use to box at exhibition bouts..it's ****ed i don't like it..if u box u know how it is..sparring is easy once ur in front of ppl you suddenly forget most what u've learned ..that's how it is with me..so i didn't see any point of competing anymore in front of ppl if i can't be like i am at sparring.

So what you're saying is i should train my legs more often.
