The exercises of Attila and Sandow - forgotten for a reason?

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

Strength training - different thing. There are much better, much better ways how to get people in shape fast. Contraction of the muscles - sure thing, but: you still need to lift heavy, period. I do follow Sandow's methods - but his real stuff, the way he really trained, not the way he marketed to public.

Patrick - I guess "functional strength for martial arts, if we are discussing it on this forum. They might be very different opinions - and still correct. There might be superficially similar opinions - and completely wrong. Again, for strength endurance, mind-muscle connection, movement quality etc. it is a wrong choice - it is isolation light bodybuilding protocol.

Gentlemen, apart from practicing CMA, I take care of strength & conditioning of the highest level Czech MMA fighters in multiple organisations, trust me, I know the real thing a bit. No theories, no romantic fantasies, no maybes. Please check out e.g. this article: http://www.strongfirst.com/preparing-a-mma-fighter/


Hi Pavel,

I know Sandow didn't just use light weights; I recall one of his books has other lifts as part of the routine. As i said, I think the light weight routine is a good way to help unfit people get into a habit of exercising, not the only way, but one way.

The article is a good read and is a testimony to your ability to get results.

all the best

Most people judge predecessors by today's standards
Most people they were catering to most likely had physical jobs
Even if they didn't just living was more physical
They walked a lot of places people today don't
The training they offered was just the extra one percent
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

The overall quality of food was more natural less refined and not as much junk
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form
