hey ironfist :) nice post. i swear i remember reading you proclaim that there was no upper and lower pecs at all - that incline press and decline press only differ in their utilisation of the...

i agree with mastering body-weight squats before using weights... but why master single-leg squats? to me, theyre very very different, with regards to posture and balance.

rubthebuddha - that...

**** good site.

im being very picky here, but theres a typo (i think) at http://www.melbkungfu.com/pages/kfu_02.htm

both you and your opponent are too close too strike, only...

i'm learning how to sprawl against a takedown, but there's nothing at my level to actually use if you stuff it up and get taken down (there is at the next level). i definitely plan to crosstrain,...

ironfist (or anyone else), can i ask jun_erh's question again?

ive never grappled at all :) so yeah. when someone is grappling with you, can you go all-out with punches and elbows? or will the...

there's a difference between enjoying acts in a videogame and committing them in real life.

some kinds of entertainment are in bad taste? anything that glorifies killing maybe? there goes half of...

good luck with your plan, friday.

about the one-inch punch thing - Sifu demonstrates the same principle using his elbow on our shoulder, with us in a stance side-on to him. doesn't hurt, just knocks you back a few feet. seems safer...

ive seen it all around here in Australia - been thinking of getting it, especially with your recommendation.

I was looking though my anatomy/physiology textbook the other day, and i found this entry on muscle toning. ill copy some of it in.

"In any skeletal muscle, some motor units are always active,...

ozehomies.... thankyou, now i have a name for them.

thatd be cool sevenstar if you could find the calories info. not sure if id be active/ fairly active or what, 10 hours of kung fu a week is a heap of aerobic/anaerobic activity (never sure which...

i have a friend who's a gymnast. he hardly ever lifts weights, does a lot of pullups/pushups and ab exercises, and advocates doing them really slowly. i think he gets most of his size/strength from...

not sure how much i want to gain - im going to leave it open ended.

89kg, or 195 pounds, bit over 6 foot, and am nearly 19 years old. in the last 2 years ive put on about 20kg, of which a fair bit is fat, but a fair bit is muscle too. all the fat is mostly on my...

basically i just eat as much protein as i can. for breakfast this morning, i had a tuna sandwich and a glass of milk. i fit in a protein shake during the day, have 2 other meals during the day with...

ive been doing my first set at a weight i can do around 11 reps with, then add a bit of weight and do 7-9 reps, then add a bit more and do about 5 reps.

my friend likes to do the opposite - start...

good luck for your race 12345. ive got no useful advice, apart from maybe finding out how long it takes your body to get the energy from carbos once you consume them, and eat a lot of them around...

thanks for the info everyone.
so if i'm serious about gains, i should forget about losing my gut? i suppose it's the price i have to pay. personally i think it adds to my debonair appeal.

so if proteins are absorbed last, and proteins are used to build muscle - that makes it sound as though you can both gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. is this correct?

thanks mantisben, me too :D

sorry for the hijacking theneuhauser, but in my defense, its still related :)

thanks for the post, it did help me out. so calories aren't purely sugar, you get energy from other substances.

im curious about the 1g protein = 4 kcal though.
how is the energy obtained from...

i think ive read once or twice here that to put on weight, you need to intake more calories than you use up, and doing weights 'tells' your body to put on muscle.

whats the correlation between...

thanks for clearing it up for me bokfu, just to reiterate - at the time i had no training - not sure if i was even aware of the difference between a roundhouse and a cross. my question was what are...

thanks for all the advice to my choking scenario, ive read over them all a few times and am going to start training a few of them.
