Anybody else get where I'm coming from though seriously? This thread is supposed to be about TCMA weight training techniques. Well - YouKnowWho has a ton of them. They work. They'll sculpt your body... and they give you functional strength. Now we have modern sport science... and there's plenty of good material that we can use to enhance our martial abilities. BUT - none of that is bodybuilding. People post pics of bodybuilders in their man thongs doing the splits and be little true TCMAists (before I started posting) for pointing out that bodybuilding is relatively useless for our sport. WTF! You guys suck. Bodybuilding is masturbation for the g@ys. I'd be scared to do BJJ with a bodybuilder for fear of them getting an erection! MMA uses old school strength and strongman techniques. Those work. Those are for functional strength. Doing every version of bench press angle possible in a periodization schedule (which has proven to be a waste of time) is stupid and only for self gratification.
sounds like you have issues with big bad bullies from your past

How does one define the physical preparation specificity of what is intended to be "general physical preparation?"
Also, positively improving the appearance is "pole-smoking" worthy? Does this extend to ab work, pushups, pullups, deadlifts, etc? What about to less training-related things, such as wearing cologne, clean clothes, coming the hair?
I have - both interesting and very useful.Speaking of poles - just take a look at a fraction of what YouKnowWho has posted... pics and videos. There's one where he's using his leg to suspend himself on a pole.
I know, "pics or it didn't happen," but I have used non-weight-set tools, such as the shorter balance stands, makiwara, bean-bag for finger strikes, strapped flexible cords (of wood) for specific throwing and lifting movements, as well as several well-crafted Okinawa-origin hojo undo tools. All were challenging, many are in my current training regimen in some form.I dare you to attempt it...
I feel strange being a "body-building backer," as focus primarily on my health (specifically back health from three breaks and dislocated tailbone) and performance (using the definitions from my previous post), but I think attention should be given to the bolded portion of your quote.- a body builder doesn't deserve to smoke the pole that he's using - and they think they're tough. Old Skool strength vs bodybuilding DBs.
Is it the weight training techniques of bodybuilding to which you object, or the attitudes of people engaged in that activity, with which you've had negative interaction?
I am going to categorically state that body-building training, specifically the hypertrophy of muscle as the primary training goal (accompanied by the increased caloric intake noted by Sanjuro_Ronin as unnecessary for MA training goals) is not the best way for a martial artist to train.
I would suggest, though, that training with some of the same techniques as hypertrophy or general physique-minded people, would positively impact the development of trainees.

"Who dies first," he mumbled through smashed and bloody lips.
Did you not see my pic? I am a big bad bully
Sorry Bawang - I know you're interested in weight lifting. It's good - just don't fall into the trap of muscles for muscles sake. There's a method behind the madness of my posts. Using Pereto Principle, modern sports training and traditional training methods, you can come up with a good routine for developing functional strength... It DOES include weight training - but there's a difference between that and body building.
We're almost on the same page... I'll put it in terms that my old track coach used when he lead us to our first regional victory on our mile relay team - he said... "Use curls to get the girls, but squats will win the race." We then went into then advanced conditioning and plyometric technical training. You see, what he was getting at is the mindset. Why are you in the weight room? Is it to be a better athlete? Then there's a specific way that you'll train. If it's to make big arms so you have big arms - well that's a different training all together.
RESPECT
In MMA, we beware of guys like you - we call it that "crazy old man strength". We always are more wary of the construction or iron workers cuz they'll get you with that "crazy old man strength". The preppy body builders... meh- Even our smallest guy will have them tapping in the first round.
its one thing to be small but strong, but you look like an anorexic woman
i mean, if you are afraid to look big, just dont train the biceps.

Lol I tell you what go compete in a non weight class MMA event, or sanda against the bulky big guys and see how you do )
These comments are usually made by guys weight about 140 pounds, the first time an 85kg bodybuilder simply curled his way out of my 93kg arm bar I gained a new respect for bodybuilder, PS this guy put the same dedication and attention to detail in his grappling as he did his bodybuilding and thus cleaned up in every comp he entered
Ronny coleman deadlifts in the 700-800 pound range before bodybuilding comps, franco Colombo as well as being a champion bodybuilder was also a world class powerlifter andd boxer, (you practise dancing around like a mantis bug and you call these guys public m8asterbators ) )
The strongest guys I know are powerlifters, some of them have also done bodybuilding go figure
Bull go look up joe defranco, he trains pro athletes in all sports including MMA and college wrestling and guess what, 80% of his programme is body building reps and sets, he does a max effort lift, then high rep stuff just like the old school body builders did, you sound like an ****phobic idiot who should really be banned and who doesn’t have a clue about anything to do with training
Now that is RIGHT on the money. We get at least one or 2 of those guys every summer wanting to labor for us.... We would kill them by coffee at 10:00 and most of them wouldn't come back after lunch... hahahahaha
Big muscles are cool i guess but if you can't do crap with them what's the point.
It's not what you know, but who's first with the best.
