Young people, don't let them tell you not to stretch.

Who is that guy scrap?

My youtube doesn't work.

 

You realize that all the big trainers like Elliot Hulse and others are getting away from weights and more into bodyweight/kettlebell style workouts.

For boxing, you don't need heavy weights.

You need to work on muscular control and tension. You talk about imbalances, and then go on to say that two legs works on imbalances better than one?

Does that make any sense to you? Read what you wrote and say it back to yourself.

Your problem is, you don't have any internal body control and will power. It's easier to lift weights.

It takes more dedication and body control to be a master at your own bodyweight. And because of the angles and leverage you work it, it strenghtens your tendons and ligaments better than weight training.

In addition to that, heavy external loads could disrupt your balance just slightly enough to put your entire body off kilter and cause joint issues in the future.

You may be wearing down your cartilage and not even know it until it's too late.

The reason why you believe so much in heavy weight training is because your young.

Young people think they know everything about everything. When in reality, you don't even have a job.

And this was something that was verified a while back.

So what do you really know about anything?

 

I agree.

Ido is a badass.

I like guys like Pavel, Al Kavadlo etc...

 

You hit like a lil bltch and I doubt you can lift more weight than me.

When I was military I was winnin strenght competitions.

What you won?

You ain't won shlt.

But you gonna pick me up like a rag doll?

You just another suburbanite rich boy. Think you hard.

You really just mad cuz you look like you in fast foward mode when you doin those BD humps.

Cuz you ain't got that far to go.

You like some dude floppin on the ground on meth havin a seisure.

Girl be like... :-blood:tired

 

I wish I had a PHD.

Who said I never trained with weights?

Why do you assume I'm skinny?

Your mentality is all messed up. You can't keep pushing your insecurities on others.

 

There you go with your bullshlt again.

You can make your ligaments thicker through strength training, but that doesn't mean you should neglect static stretching.

For one, it gets the blood running through your ligaments and tendons, so it promotes healing.

It can cause inflammation, but that's part of your bodies' healing process.

For you to compare a human being, a living organism to a rubber band is ridiculous.

All that strain, and tightness on your body, combined with years of gravity, and heavy squats eventually, inevitably, compress your spine.

So if you don't stretch, then how do you make yourself whole?

Hopkins stretches all the time. That's one of his key's to longevity and I guarantee you, if you asked, he would tell you the exact same thing.

You're type of thinking is aligned with NFL type athletics, where they make an athlete as tight as a compressed spring, which is fine when you're young and your body recovers rapidly, but at some point, that spring is going to snap and you're going to have all kinds of issues.

The thing is, in your line of work, assuming you really are who you say you are, each athlete is an investment, and they'll do everything they can to get the most out of them, which includes PEDs and the best surgery, but at the end of the day, there is always some young blood waiting around the corner to replace the old dogs.

They use those guys up like thoroughbreds.

You don't need heavy, bone crushing, joint destroying weightlifting, ESPECIALLY in the sport of boxing.

That's the lazy person's way to build strength. There are alternate techniques that are safer and require more concentration but can build plenty of strength.

You use your own bodies tension.

Think about it like this, if lightening strikes your ass, your body can tense so hard it can snap the bone in half.

So, you're a fool if you don't think your mind and your body is capable of producing tension that can be used for strength.

One day, you're going to find out the truth, but I can only pray for your sake that you don't have to suffer and that eventually you see the truth.
