Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

:( unforutnatly you may be very very right. i used to train very hard, yet never have sorenss. it was odd, as people used to say you needed soreness to progress. now i have what i wanted, and i train very littlle and yet its counterproductive. its not good. i shoudlnt kick, as advised by my pysio, s...

thanks dragon, but that doesnt seem to solve the problem. ive got a problem in that my legs are very heavy, and the quads tense up quit dramitcally

i have to say with side raises, do you try to keep as upright as possible, or do you allow your torso to move down with the leg going up, to get better balance?

thanks guys, i think i will have to start being more focused and try to find the limits. ill report on my progress later as i progress there are still some questions ive got to ask 1. in Kurzs sample workout, in the cooldown for kickboxers, there are lunges. surely weights would be a different day t...

in the sample workouts for the roundhouse kick, there are weight exericses for the COOLDOWN? how does one put them in application, espcially when you have to do strength training the next day?

i am with Mr Kurz in his opnions in about machines..they are waste of money, and act on desires off people.

as the title says, is high reps with weights bad for martial art training as paval says in an article posted in another topic also with martial arts, what upper strength exercises do you do see this is my problem: my arms are very very weak. i cant do a pull up, and SINGLE pull up. im basically a fa...

the foot of the dynamic leg. even without flexing and trying to relax, and doing it very fast, my quads still tense. stretchign balistically is the only way i can get the quads not to hurt. my side raises are ok.

the only reason i can give for tensing is i keep my foot flexeed, otherwise im worried of turning it into a ballistic stretch

are your muscles meant to tense. when doing front raises, my quads tense A LOT. it becomes very painful. the same can be said when doing side raises with my hips, and i do move my pelvis foward, i do that naturally when kciking to extent my reach. the only one im ok with is back leg raises. can anyo...

im getting worried. is kurz's side split a wrong thing to do?

thanks again dragon, hopefully i get the book today and be able to have a go at it. what i do at the moment is basic exercises everyday squats, special pysio leg exericses (inner abductor strengtheners so the knees dont go inwards as they are now)push ups, leg raises, back extensions, ab crunches it...

Dragon.

i think so to. lol. im just not sure which specific exericses to do really. i mean, there so many to do, how can 1 day be enough?

i have yet again another question..do you do running and endurance weights on endurance days and likewise sprints and haevy weights on strenght days the other questons thats led on is will this all be explained in Stretching Scientifically book, so telling you do to abductor pulls etc etc, and advis...

in the sample workout, doing aerobic work one day after doing weights, isnt this quite risky in terms of overttraining? this may be easier question for Mr Kurz to answer as he designed the workout. otherwise it looks very nice..i do kickboxing friday and this will no doubt help having a look at poly...
