What do you guys think?
Can weightlifting be qigong? It would be weigong (hard qigong) of course since it involves tension, but it seems to me it could still improve your energy flow. I have been experimenting for a few weeks with this. I am keeping my tongue on the roof of my mouth to connect the governor and conception vessels and in between sets/exercices I stand relaxed and visualize the exess chi from the areas being worked flowing into my dan tien. Yeah, I lift at home so I'm not getting funny looks from other gym patrons.
I would appreciate any comments/advice/etc. anyone may offer.
