weighted items

[Frost]

I'm a big fan of varied workouts, doing different things as part of the event. I was reading about an exercise theory, (CST) http://www.rmaxi.com/cst/, and they are all about full mobility, and applicable strength. They use indian clubs instead of kettle bells...

They talk a lot about core, and the strength of the physiology surrounding the muscle, including connective tissue, joints and the sheath of muscle that surrounds muscle(?).

I see a lot of common ground in some of the old school exercises which focused more on a movement than on a muscle.

only problem is for all his talking (and god does he do alot of that, he makes up words as he goes along) sonnen's only ever trained two fighters, and one of those was known for having both rubbish cardio AND bad strength so i take his stuff with a pinch of salt

the russians didnot use kettlebells as we see them used in the ewst, they used them for throwing mostly, they build strength the old fashioned way with heavy weights then added other stuff, most peopl seem to want to put the cart before the horse these days

I had a 20 pound weighted vest that I jogged with - did forms with. I wrecked my back. I throw around heavy logs, 20 pound basketball (filled with sand), hit wooden dummy, etc. Forearms become hard as iron in one month or less if you train them properly.

Thereby proving that Jim is not Kevin and vice versa.

with weight vest the bouncing can destroys your spine. you have to buy a good one and make sure it fastens to your body.

you can march with the weight vest and do 10 second sprints with no problem, this is traditional chinese training.

doing forms with weight vest means you can no longer hop and prance around. this corrects your physical posture and mental attitude.

TT's opposing method of keeping them silent is interesting as well.

Yeah for sure - different movements you dont want them clanging round like the bells of St Pauls
