My brother takes capoeira and I remember him doing some bridges and other gymnastics moves, but not the candlestick in particular. Itīs probably used though, since capoeira and gymnastics share...
Why, if itīs a gymnastics exercise? :D
Didnīt know Capoeiristas used that too... as a drill for what? Macaquinho?
Toby,
Thanx for the info. So, the longer I hold that posture, the...
Can anyone tell me which muscles are worked during the candlestick, and how are they worked (I assume is through the static hold)?
Sorry it took so long...
I went with Serpent and Jack's advice. I took a 6-day break from chest workout and this morning I've hitted again. Instead of doing the regular routine I did what Serpent...
Thanx for all the insights guys.
Toby -- Whenever I plateau (that often happens with my legs) I would break that plateau by usually doing static holds on the last rep of the last set, once a week...
For over a month I wasn't able to add nothing to my bench press. N-thing. And it's not a plateau, I'm actually getting weaker on the bp (last rep is done huffing and puffing and almost crying).
I...
Get some medical advice then. In my case, it got better. It was just a matter ot time (like most things are). However, if your MA is killing you: a) take it easier or b) quit it for a while.
No...
William,
Well that depends of how long does a "few weeks" last. :)
If you're a veggie, you're sources of protein are well limited. Whenever you train, either MA or weight training, or bike...
Yeah, I think it's getting better by itself. If I look back, I feel a lot less than say, maybe 3 years ago. I think it all started because I skydove my way into a impact sport. After I started...

In my case, "pain" comes and goes... sometimes I am just standing and *bam* I start feeling the knee. I can't really describe the sensation, it's as if someone was just pressing my...
Hi IM, and welcome to KFO.
I have the EXACTLY same knee problem (and it's even in the right cap :) ). It's not really painful, right? But you feel something, enough to tell you something is going...
Oh man, I'm $crewed...
My diet is gonna be limited to golden fishes and pot... :D
Peace!
mossman,
I try to keep it healthy, lot's of fruits, juices, milk, fish, tea, some red meat... I avoid eating junk food too. No soft drinks and NO alcohol (beer, scotch, cachaįa... I've been sober...
You're sick! :) But hey, doesn't it stink your place up? :)
Stubbs,
I use sawdust on mine. No particular reason, just because I can get that for free (I'd have to either buy some bags of sand...
Vash
No worries Vash. :)
Ka
Ka, aside from getting pi$$ed of not eating :), what are the long-term side-effects of this kind of practice?
Vash, that's why I said "to an extent". Anyone would rather lose fat than muscle, that's a fact, but the point here is overall weight. It's not about losing fat or muscle, it's about losing weight.
...
My thoughts exactly guys!
But I think that (to an extent) they want to lose muscle as well. I'd certainly not undergo such regimen (unless required otherwise by my sifu), but that's me.
...
So...
In the upcoming weeks there's gonna be a tournament in my MA school (it's sort of a first draft for the upcoming state championship). And there are a lot of students undergoing this hardcore...
hey hey! What's so crazy about the swimming chute?! ;) :D
The drag effect is even greater underwater, and the exercise will not only build strenght, but it will teach you to pay closer attention...
IronFist,
I use this in the pool (but I use the bucket). It's a killer exercise, the effect is the same of the drag chute while running. Besides explosive starting power, the chute also builds...
Repulsive Monkey,
Dude, I don't know what a "medi-gun" is, but Arnold IS definetely holding a replica of a GE M134 Minigun (actually, I think it's the very one Jessie Ventura displays on...
thanx manofkent!
i'd go like "hey you zombies mutha****as... minigun is in tha house!" piles and piles of minced un-dead flesh on the ground. of course, i'd be using the infinite ammo cheat code,...
Let me play! Let me play! :)
GE Minigun!!! Ain't no zombie gonna dodge that! :D And if things started to get boring, I'd make use of my brand-new shoulder mounted plasma-caster. Ha! Bang! you're...
What kind of tea do you drink?
Several different kinds. But Cat's Claw, Coca Leaf, Camomille and Lemon Grass are regulars.
What flavour tea do you drink?
Look above.
How many times a day...
Wait a sec, you mean, you swim underwater the whole lenght of the pool (50m+) without surfacing to get some air?
Not bad? Hip Hip Hooray man! That's not something everyone can do. :) But did you...
