Excellent, thats good to know that the number of people driven for this of such is rapidly increasing.

LOL! I was about to say that. But I'll let the BB regs do the honours of claiming high T levels.
More T, more drama, more nais!

Hey PB... no trial at Pushmore? always pass by the premise and wondering what r u guys doing inside..

Gotttt.... One day trial la. You can come and check it out la. But the other trainers will train you. I'm the barbell and strength guy so usually trainees come to me AFTER their foundation classes with the other trainers. You should come over and see if you like the way we train. It's quite a bit different from other gyms

Gud gud.. saw the handstand pic in their site.. wish can do that...they teach that dont they? will drop by 1 day..

Hi.

I heard that weight lifting on the upper body can reduce fat on the potbelly & love handles.
It'll burn fat faster on the area.

Is it true?

No.

I wish it was true but sorry to disappoint you big time.

Diet and exercise is the best way?
Cardio especially?

A good clean diet and also cardio will help u shed off those unwanted fats.

Somewhat true.
It's the act of lifting weights that helps reduce fat, regardless of upper body or lower body or full body.

BTW, no need to post this same thing all over the forum lah.... Nike advertisement meh?

WOoHoO! i'm back in Melaka for a couple days! Time to weightlifting my butt away!

hihi.. just asking, any strength training for martial arts?

I was a avid body builder... train like 3 hours everyday.... but this makes my body solid.. meaning like robot

There are a whole load of Training Methodology for specific sports. Have a go at DeFrancos or Ross Enamait's . They should give you a good start. My knowledge on Martial Art Specific Training is limited, so I can't throw much at ya. I'm assuming you are referring to Weight Training. All I know about Martial Arts is usually you need to reassess your goals and lean more towards explosiveness and stuff. My advice is don't neglect the compounds. You'd be surprised how quick you can get with compounds.

examples??

now I am focusing on middle weight + reps

eg... medium weight for concentration curl...

left side one time, right side one time

left side two time, right side two time

on and on

untill fatigue

Like I said, I'm not familiar with Sport Specific training but usually they incorporate short sprints eg;10,20,30m sprints. Explosive BW work like Burpees. On the Weight Training part, I've seen some of them do a load of Kettlebell work, try front squats as well, some back squats, deadlifts, Shoulder Presses, Pullups etc. The thing that you need to know is your goal. For martial arts its all about being agile, quick etc not getting huge or what. Ditch the Concentration Curls. For weight X set range, honestly im not sure but you can put yourself around the 6-10 rep range.

ahah... i`m putting it through 30-50 range.....

i`ve given up the 6-10 range... it makes my body big with no line

WHOA.. anyone going?

My limbs are all functioning perfectly. No offense but to be able to compete in Powerlifting, specifically Malaysia, you need to first damage your spine and hopefully your upper limbs are still working. The ugly truth.

Read up stuff and watch videos from Diesel Crew, Zach Even-esh, Eric Wong MMA. And SydG mentioned Ross Enamait stuff. Watch Ross's videos. That guy is not human.

I don't know why you're doing so many reps for, and especially concentration curls.
Well, heavy curls do have uses if you're into MMA and Jiujitsu (for choking), but medium weights with 30-50 reps... errrr...
