Yes, doing the form slowly with good technique is harder than sloppy "blasting through it crazy fast". But it's even harder doing it with good technique and crazy fast. That's the way CLF forms...

Hmh. This got me thinking that maybe tai ji and CLF don't mix that well?

I'm sorry and I'm not trying to put you down, but it looks a bit tired. Upper body doesn't turn enough and I don't see the...

Wow. I can't believe this... You're still debating this? :confused:

Dudes, afterall, it doesn't really matter. ;)

Well. We're going to have a dinner together tonight. After that we'll propably go to a bar and get drunk ;)

Hopefully I won't be too hung over because we're starting a 4 day seminar tomorrow....

I'm switching from Choy lee fut to 7 stars NPM at the moment. As you propably know, CLF and Hung gar have a few things in common.

I'm my limited experience, the switch is relatively easy. The two...

You seem to have very high level training partners.

Nice shorts btw.

Why would protein be effected by the heat? Some other components in the mix maybe, but not protein. You grill your steaks and chicken, boil your eggs etc, don't you? Do they loose protein in the...

Low carb "energy drink"? Or what's the point drinking flavoured water with stimulants? After all, you get the energy from the carbs?

Well.. Let's just say I wasn't content with how things were organized. I don't want to go in to details in public. :)

Hehe. More old threads resurrected.

Well. My last experiment failed miserably after the first cycle. I was training too hard in kungfu at the moment and didn't go easy enough with the weights.
...

Old thread resurrected.

What's the correct dosage for creatine? Here I hear 5-10g, but the finnish olympic commitee says after the loading period 2g/day is enough. On the label of the can it says...

Yes. That's one way of increasing the muscle tension and train for strength. But the problem is that it will do so only for limited range of motion. Am I right?

So is adding your buddy's body weight to yours the answer?

Of course it will only help to a point, but it should be better than lifting nothing but your own body weight.

Isn't the rule of...

Been there, done that.

IMO it's impossible to keep up with those programs and continue training normally. At least for your average joe. And me.. ;)

Besides, doing that many reps will only...

OK. Here's the scenario. There's no equipment what so ever. Just you and your partner with your bodyweight. How do you work on the over all body strength? Or even better, power on the kicks and...

I just finished reading Pavel's Super-Joints book. One thing bothers me though. I didn't quite understand the cossack exercise due to the bad explanation that didn't match the pictures.

So could...

Well. Kungfu training is basically one big plyometric exercise. Therefore I don't see the danger in doing basic plyometric exercises. I'm not talking about any hardcore plyometrics. Something like...

People often talk how training should be reality based and it's no use training other ways. They make it sound like a magic component that makes you a top-notch fighter no matter what. And without it...

Generally the idea on all iron kungs is to slowly build up from soft materials to harder materials. So I don't think it's a good idea go hitting hard solid objects like wall right away. You should...

There has been a lot of critique on plyometric exercises. Usually it's said that you shouldn't be doing plyo before having conciderable maximum strength. Is this really the case even with bodyweight...

OK. I just placed an order for the Speed training book. I ordered Pavel's power to the people, super-joints and bullet proof abs too. Maybe I'll get few ideas there. They better be worth all the...

Sure. Maximum strength=explosive strength=speed. But there's really no other ways to practise speed. Or are you trying to say there's no need for separate speed period?

Anyway. The idea is to...

Well. Basically the idea is that for example during the endurance period, all training sessions aim to develope endurance. This means doing loads of reps of the techniques not necessarily that fast...

OK. good point :) Thanks for the tip.

So you mean it would go like this.

2 weeks - endurance
2 weeks - strength
2 weeks - speed
1 week - off?

But what's the point taking a week off of the program, if you're going to be training...
