do weights slow you down?
-
as above.
in addition, should you do cardio/strength trainin all in a single session (i.e. having a balance of both in a single session), or, do stamina for one whole time at the gym and lift heavy weights at another (i.e. separate them to two diff training sessions). -
do you know that the world's top sprinters do weighted barbell work?and heavy too.
Weightlifting can give you cardio endurance as well.If you do not believe me, you can try this routines.

but it slows you down what. or it makes you lose stamina? nothing at all?Originally posted by Simon Dean:do you know that the world's top sprinters do weighted barbell work?and heavy too. -
Do you know that my MOD OPT used to be a professional fighter in k1 and he trains with weights regularly.Originally posted by tut4nkh4m3n:but it slows you down what. or it makes you lose stamina? nothing at all?
k1 is a full contact kickboxing organisation based in countries like Japan and USA.It has very high standards.
He was his fastest at his muscular frame of 126kg although hes about 108kg now.If you think that just because hes muscular and not fast enough then...
And not to put you down or what, but please stop listening to people who talk so much crap but never tried it yet. -
I suggest people try the olympic lifts if they are still skeptic that weight training will slow you down.

i see. i'm a newbie in this area. ty for help.
now, if i wana do a 1 handed pull up, where do i start? keep doing 2 handed pull ups? or do static holds with one hand huh? -
If you do explosive lifts like the olympic lifts which recruit fast-twitch muscle fibers, you can infact make yourself faster.
Say i bullsh!T or what.But it has already been proven to be functional in the field and sports.
and if you think weightlifting decreases your cardio stamina/endurance.I invite you to do the following lifts (above) for 10-12 reps.You will be panting like a dog after it.Weightlifting can infact increase your stamina.
That olympic lift gif. is called a snatch btw. -
got yr point

Many NBA players do olympic lifts and you dont see them getting any slower or what.Infact they can dunk much easier and jump higher.
-
Heck, you can do 50 normal pullups and it doesn't mean you can do a single 1-handed pullup. The 1-handed pullup is a very extreme exercise that isn't very good for your shoulder joint. You're basically lifting twice your body weight, so until you can do weighted pullups with as much weights hanging from you as you weigh, forget about 1-handed pullups.
