I read a little. It sounds good. I've never done it that way, but I might try.

I would build a solid foundation before doing pyo's or complex training. A 1.5 bodyweight barbell squat is optimal.

was that directed at me because I said I've never done complex training? I've done plyos, heavy weights, etc., just not consecutively like that. I can squat more than 1.5 my bodyweight.

lifting weights has been a mixed blessing for me. Sometimes I'm just way too strong at 128 pounds for others. But there is an awkwardness in my reflexes that is occasionally exposed against guys who can take my offense, though they aren't that common at such a low weight. Since I do weights quickly and somewhat explosively, there isn't a noticeable reduction in speed, and even my arm punches can be harder than an average guy my weight. However, I have torn a bicep before in a match when I threw a quick and hard jab because the muscle was still very tight from a previous session of lifting. You shouldn't be lifting a few days before a fight.

I don't tend to put on much weight from lifting, it made my walk around weight go from about 118 to 129 or so in about ten years. I think others would balloon up a little bit more.

I want to see you stand on a scale and take a picture so I can believe you way 128 pounds!

If you do, then you are ESBs very own Sean Sherk!

All right I will take a picture after my workout tonight with the gym scale but it is a balance one so it might be hard to get my face in their too. I will try to find an electronic one. You have to remember that in all the pictures I post I'm flexing or in motion - my muscles expand quite a bit.

It wasn't directed at you. It was directed at any readers who might decide to go out and try it without the proper foundation. And then can't get out of bed for three days.
