the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Hey guys,

on Fb I saw a discussion concerning this exercise:



Several people stated that this exercise "relly helped" them and "made the difference" in their internal power development!!!

Kelley learnt this exercise from Michael Phillips.

So my questions are:

Who here has experience with this exercise?

With what weight do you start?

How long and often do you perform it?

And what are you doing internally/ breathwise?

Thank you all in advance

Low form practice should be just as fine though this type of exercise will make you feel the legs better through the pressure. When my kid was a toddler I did similar exercise and also low form practice carrying him on my back. It felt good to have that weight, but I think you can easily fool yourself that you have achieved something that you still have not. Maybe it’s a good exercise for beginners to help their rooting building process.
