scott Sonnen shows some of these exercises in his videos, pavel shows some relaxation and muscle shaking with a partner drills as well, the soviets used them to help warm up the body, and to relax between heavy lifting sessions
Frost,
I appreciate your input. You realize it sounds like you are referencing study findings in the same post that you implied studies are not that useful to look at? Sorting out why things are working and how better to adapt them to give sport/activity specific results is in my view a key to innovation and something I take pride in doing with my down-time. If you see value in it, great, if not, then that is fine as well, but it doesn't much affect whether I do or not.

no dichotomy i implied they are not that useful for part time athletes (in my view) whilst acknowledging that the studies are out there and people have read them.
I also posted to point out people have read them and can reference them but when we are on a forum where people still question the usefulness of lifting weights or believe it will have a negative effect on their kung fu is it really necessary to talk about them?
