I've been in the gym since I was 18 years old and have the greatest strength gains recently (I'm 41) with a combination of olympic lifts and kettlebells. I won't go into the specifics, because I believe we've covered them on the digest a number of times, but I've been working out in this manner since March 2003 and will not be returning to 'regular' weightlifting ever again. BTW - It's always entertaining to watch the 'gym rats' stare dumbfounded as I toss a KB around, do weighted turkish get-ups or high-rep snatches! They primp and pose and barely break a sweat while I'm in the process of producing my own body of water on the gym floor... at least I get pleny of space to work out! :P Michael A.

(Stovall, Craig) Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net There is a ton of confusing and conflicting information out there about physical conditioning. To some extent this is due to programs suitable only for steroid-drenched bodybuilders being touted as 'general fitness routines'. There is also an ongoing trend to dream up wierd and unusual exercises/routines/philosophies which might help differentiate that author's book from the hundreds of other books out there. In the articles section of my website (www.grapplearts.com) I have several pieces I have written dealing with strength training, cardio training, peaking and tapering, etc. They are geared towards grappling, but are generally applicable to all martial arts, Eskrima/Kali included.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hi all, Delurking for a moment. I must agree with Craig about Pavel's material. I too like the power to the people program but I must confess that it seems laking in a few aspects.Though it is a good start it seems very limited in that it uses only two compound exercises and true they do hit most of the body but ones body will adapt to the movements eventually. To help remedy that I suggest intermixing different training protocols at least every 4- 6 weeks. This 4-6 week time period is called a mesocycle. I think one of the best approaches I have seen so far is called periodization of strength or as we in the west like to call it periodization training. If you are interested in more information regarding this approach I would suggest picking up the book Periodization Training for Sports by Tudor Bompa PhD ($14.00 on amazon). It is a simple to follow book and gives examples of periodization programs for many different sports Martial Arts included. The periodized approach was developed to help athletes reach their maximum potential in their given sports and is designed around peaking your fitness levels just as you are entering your competitive season. With a little tweaking it can be adjusted to shorter cycles so that you are constantly improving your strength and endurance levels through out the whole year. Using the periodization scheme you can work in several different training protocols including those of Pavel during each phase and it will help keep you from hitting training plateaus. On another note I also like Pavel's Kettle bell training. One of my colleagues was the first to expose me to Pavel and I have to admit I was hooked. I now regularly use some of his material in both my routines and those of my clients. You may also want to take a look at the material of Paul Chek and Matt Furey. I must admit that I was kind of skeptical of Matt Furey's Body weight calisthenic approach as I was an iron head but I have found them to be great conditioning tools. Paul chek has some wonderful information on Core training which can be found on his website at www.chekinstitute.com although a little pricey for someone who is looking to build a home library. I have several more suggestions but I am out of time and need to get back to work. If you would like additional suggestions please e-mail me offline and I will be glad to forward you a list of suggested texts.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net <>> A lot of it depends upon what you're looking for. If you're looking to increase maximal strength I would suggest Pavel Tsatsouline's book 'Power to the People'. It's a bit pricey, but I recommend it if for nothing else than the fact that it will keep people away from the Muscle & Fitness bodybuilding isolation crap. Pavel wrote the program with martial artists in mind, since most martial artists would like to increase strength (without increasing size), but have a hard time justifying spending hours in the gym. Pavel's protocol is very brief...you basically do two compound movements (one pull, one press) with two sets for each exercise (a heavy set followed by a lighter set). Basically, that's it. You also don't need any equipment other than a barbell set. I recently got his book myself, and while I don't intend to follow his program to the letter, I have definitely picked up some very useful concepts and tools. His writing style is also very entertaining and folksy, but backed up by science. I bought mine new, but you may want to check Ebay, or the Z-shops at Amazon for a used copy. It may be ideal for you if you're looking to get some benefit from basic strength training without spending an inordinate amount of time in a gym. If you're looking to increase strength-endurance, then I'd suggest looking into Crossfit. If John Frankl is still on this list...he's an excellent source of information on Crossfit. Otherwise, check out their website. The main goal of Crossfit (per my interpretation) is to help one increase one's General Physical Preparedness (GPP). GPP is considered by many to be the 'next big thing' in Western Sports/Athletics, and is in direct contrast to the Western model of throwing people directly into the Darwinian meatgrinder of sport specific activity. Definitely give them a look. 'Bigger, Faster, Stronger' is also a good program that has been around since forever. Again, I don't use their program verbatim since it is intended to train varsity athletes divided into small groups of workout partners. However, I have successfully borrowed movements and concepts from their program. It's good and it works. Much like 'Power to the People' it cuts through the crap, and will keep you focused on movements that increase real-world athletic performance. BFS is good in that it addresses a lot of different issues related to athletic performance...strength, speed, agility, and flexibility. I have the BFS book that recently came out, and I believe it was under $20. Basic advice: stick to Olympic Lifting and Powerlifting movements...they work the kinetic chains. Learn how to train and develop your core strength...the abs, obliques, spinal erectors, glutes, and hams. Pecs and biceps look great, but it is the muscles of the posterior chain that really influence the quality of your physical movement.
