When I lift, and I used to do it a lot more than I do now, it's with free weights and I don't use a weight belt. This forces me to use my "stabilizer" muscles. Increased muscle tone is always a plus. I never trained to gain mass. I would use lighter weights and do longer sets. When a body is well conditioned it will perform better and be able to take punishment better.

Xanos Achite BoneCrusher10 Xanos Achite BoneCrusher10 whats the heaviest u guys/girls ever lifted/ attempted lifting? Umm, free weight w/o the bar's weight I think about 115lbs(benchpress) and I think the bar was 20lbs, not sure. then the universal benchpress i have done 125 pushing, but it turned into 150 lbs once in the air... Hmmm, yep I definatly have more leg strength. hmm thats cool eh, its definatly not much for alot of people, probably yourself, but then again I'm only 16 and started weight training when I was 15 so. oh i understand. well dont worry about it i cant do much on a benchpress either, i dont have a strong chest. but since you started working out at 15 its not that bad at all. im 17 right now (18 in june) and i started working out at 12 or 13. in curling my max is around 110.

Xanos Achite I think the best way to train with weights is to have either weighted clothing or strap on weights. This way you can practice your technique while building your muscles. so after you take them off your faster but still hold the proper technique to follow through...(and when I say faster I also mean stronger) i have 2 questions, what is weighted clothing(is it actually clothes or...)? were do i get it?

By weight on cloths I mean anything bulk or heavily padded, you could wear a couple of extra heavy set sweaters or such, or you can get strap on weights such as ankle/wrist, which can be strapped together to make a useful weight that can fit around your stomach/chest.

I dont lift weights af part of my training, but every once in a while I do lift weights just to see my max. Right now i can benchpress 165lbs. I think thats pretty good for a 12 almost 13 year old kid. smile

Well, I don't lift weights as part of my training in martial arts. When it comes to strength training I use bodyweight exercises only. I don't know, maybe its just me. I prefer using my own bodyweight for strength training rather than lifting weights that isolates the development of some body parts. For example, a basic push ups exercises blasts the triceps and at the same time gives a good workout in the abdominals, lower back, the neck as well as the trap muscles. The only point I stress in my training session specially when I teach is the no movement in life is done in isolation, so why train that way?

BoneCrusher10 whats the heaviest u guys/girls ever lifted/ attempted lifting? I'd have to say 620 lbs. with my legs. But anyway. Yeah, I do lift weights every other day. But I also do other work outs everyday. I do sit ups and push ups and jogging almost every day while I think that weight lifting comes second.

JoshuaKenzo Hmm hmm. My sensei once said; If you have strong muscles, you have a tendency to use them. Once you get to this point, you try to apply martial art through muscular power, not through technique. First master technique, then enhance the muscular capacity. I've already mastered technique. Yeah, working out is part of my sports training, mainly TaeKwonDo. I also play DDR to train, it helps alot.
