Let me put my experience to work for your and design a strength and conditioning program to meet your individual goals. Though most people have rid themselves of this misconception, it persists.
Weight training improves strength, speed, and flexibility.
A solid weight training program will enhance performance in any sport, including martial arts. I don't want to get too big from lifting weights and look like one of those men or women in the Mr. or Ms. Olympia contests. There are three reasons why you shouldn't be afraid of this. Number one, only a small percentage of the population has the genetic potential for that level of muscle size. Number two, bodybuilders train specifically for muscle size year round.
