Answer#1: Wind sprints push ups on the knuckles or finger tips 30 to 50 of each a day and the use of traditional OKINAWAN equipment and sit ups standing in a deep horse stance until my legs start to tremble
Answer#2: i place a strong emphasis on my core.back extensionsleg raiseshanging knee raisesside bends twist sit upsthese are my primary exercises from there i perform:squatspull-ups dips push-upsbecause it takes 36-48 hours to fully recover from lifting(interfering with sparring), i refuse to do an extensive weight lifting program.
Answer#3: we don't use any weights than our own. I practice capoeira and we do indeed do a lot of muscular training though be it many times unintentionallywe do a lot of low leg excercises which really work the thighs and calves plus we do a lot of handstands, cartwheels and other acrobatic excercises which are really good for the strength in ones arms. add to that a more than healthy dosis of ab excercises and push ups and you are out for a good muscular work out
Answer#4: For weight training I use Olympic style lifts, in a circuit work out.I switch up my circuit and lifting routines about every 6 or 7 weeks. I do a lot of different programs.Here is a quick example:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjDqi21Fbi6d85mI1inH5t7ty6IX?qid=20070821110102AAYC6aa&show=7#profile-info-O9HkXTRmaaI rotate between weight training, and plyometric circuits. For 6 weeks I will do weights, 6 weeks plyos, 6 weeks another weight program.All of them I do are circuit workouts, all are explosive power type of lifts. My reps are fast, and explosive as I can be, I want fast twitch muscle as opposed to bulk. So a lot of "norms" I don't follow.I stay away from any slow sets, doing super slow lifts. I don't go too high up in weight on anything except my legs. I am less concerned with exact technique as I am with explosion. For example on bench press, I am more concerned with blowing it off my chest then I am pressing it in a controlled manner all the way up.That is just my routine, I also like to do Spartan type training here and there, and throwing the medicine ball around, planks, etc. Lots of core stuff.
Answer#5: Weights are great, small weight high reps. Also traditional methods like Chishi and Medicine Ball.
Answer#6: i strenght train everyday, 30 reps with a 15 pound weight, to keep my muscle up, just curcles, nothing fancyi also practice hand stands agiants a walls, it helps my shoulders.for my abs ill do crunches sit up, and a rath odd one,dont know what its called, lie on the ground and hold the bottom of a table or something like that and lift your legs u, down without touching the floor, and up agian, you can go sit to side to strenghten those love handles ^_~ (its a really hard one but more effective than most ab workouts)YOU CANT BEAT PUSHUPSyes 30 pushups everyday, in the morning and then before i go to bed.
