Expert: John Izzo Date: 4/16/2006 Subject: In the worlds of light weight...
Question In the worlds of light weight v.s. heavy weight training, light weight it good for speeding up the muscles for a given sport, and heavy's good for throwing around medium to heavy weight?
Ok, so, for example say I did jujitsu and have alot of speed, and am just needing more overal strength. I would then lift medium to heavy weights...because the more you can lift (condusively for the sport) the more you can exert pressure on joints and bones?
Answer Jeff,
You should work in the rep range of 6-8 reps using 65-85% of your max. You should can also master bodyweight exercises using speed techniques (i.e fast squats, fast push-ups, etc) You will also need to work on your cardio vascualr conditioning (ie, running on treadmill with high incline, stepper, etc).
