Can Press Up, Pull Ups & Dips Build Up ''Core Strength''

[Jack3d]

Good for him, however through overwhelming anecdotal evidence I have to surpass that getting strong through push ups is one of the less efficient ways out there. Anyway, its all up to you.

lol agreed. I think some people are just too lazy or scared to get under some heavy weight.

Press up's are good, but weights are good too.

There comes a point if you can do 100 press up's, then you gotta do a hell of a lot to get mroe strength.

Weights for example can test you at the point you can't do anymore with one rep. It gets you strong, but for boxing I would say you should go for speed, not strength as the main thing.

Running is a great way to get core strength, I am talking about 15 miles or more on the road. It helps your cardio which is very important in combat, but your whole body just builds a strength.

I'd rather be toned and strong than musclar and strong.

Running that type of length actual will lose you muscle. Have you noticed that profesional runner are always extremly thin.

Micky Ward once said in a interview one of his friends went to a freestyle wrestling camp and Ward said how do them guys all get so strong and his friend said all they do is Push Up's. Ward then said he started doing hundreds of push ups and that why he became such a strong fighter who was never on the backfoot.

Its true. These are the best ways to get in top shape. I used to lift weights when I was younger and I'm glad I stopped. I'm in much btter shape now that I do 90% body weight excersises.. I still use weights to weigh down leg workouts and medicin balls sometimes but that's it. Pushups alone can give u one of the best fullbody workout you can get.

I see all these big weight lifters in gyms. And NEVER see them doing there press up's. And when they do there ****ing gassed after a about 10. :lol1

And why is it, in weight lifting gyms. These weight lifters/bodybuilders always have bad attitudes? 90% of these idiots are roided up anyway.

Because bodybuilders or as you so eloquently put it "big lifters", aren't training to run in a marathon or fight for 12 rounds. They aren't even training to be strong.

They are trying to pack on as much muscle as possible while maintaining symmetry and sorry my friend, but push ups won't do that.

If you've never done Max Effort Squats or Dealifted or done sled drags, you have no idea what a "good full body workout" is.

Bodybuilders don't all have bad attitudes, but you can expect them to if you decide to be a smug arrogant douche who thinks he knows everything, when he really doesn't.

But alas this is about strength, not bodybuilding and nothing will get you stronger faster, than basic heavy compound lifts.

Gotta love the guy saying they are all roid heads then asking why they have "bad attitudes".

All roid heads have bad attitudes? I disagree.

I've read do. That that lifting your own body weight will get your core strengh better than weight lifting.

I remember someone saying that's why weight lifter's whilst are strong in the weight room, aint that strong when you lock up with them.

God dammit. There is some weird racism on this forum where everyone is offended by body builders, or just jacked dudes in general.

If I made a thread in the lounge right now saying some huge muscle bound guy wanted to fight me I guarantee there would be at least 20 responses of people just saying big dudes usually suck at fighting.

I coupled heavy doubles deadlifts today with moderately challenging weight(for me its 135X5) military press, just to see how my nervous system would take it. After first twe sets I felt a rush amoke to cokaine induced. Good stuff.
