Weights vs Bodyweight Exercises for a Martial Artist?

April 28th, 2009

flibbertigibbet11 asked:


Would doing bodyweight exercises be more beneficial for a martial artist than weights?

I currently do:
-150 pushups (total)
-10 sets of 10 dips between chairs
-5 sets of 5 pull-ups
-3 sets of 10 handstand pushups

and plyometric exercises in the form of:
-2 sets of 10 lunge cycle jumps
-2 sets of 10 depth jumps
-2 sets of 10 tuck jumps
-2 circuits of: 30 seconds of burpees, 30 seconds of mountain climbers, 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 30 seconds of split shuffles.

I do all this after 30 minutes of skipping rope every second day. I only started exercising like this last month. Before that I used to lie on the couch everyday, but I’m wondering if this is good for a martial artist?

I don’t know if I should be doing weights or not. There was another question on this subject where someone answered with something about fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, so now I’m not too sure about doing plyometric exercises.

Is this workout any good for a martial artist?
If there is something this workout is lacking, could anyone please point out something I could change (but I don’t have any sort of weight equipment, which is why I’m doing bodyweight exercises instead).

Or if weights are more beneficial than bodyweight exercises, I could look into buying some equipment.

I’m not too sure what a martial artist requires in terms of conditioning.
And if I already have a decent school?
Ah and I forgot to say I do 50 bodyweight squats as well in my workout.

hey guys. i need some opinions and advises from u. i know u can be helpful and honest. Male,24, 165lbs/75kg, 180cm/5′11 , trained with calisthenics (bodyweight exercises) before and just started a bench press program. 3 sets. first set, 10 reps of 176lbs/80kg, second set 8 reps of 187lbs/85kg and last set 2 reps of 200lbs/90kg. feel like i could do more for my last set if i didnt do 10 reps of 176lbs for the first set. my question is, is that ok for someone my size? is it average or above average? for someone my size. i just started a bench press program and thats what i did. is that average or above average? be honest please. because im new to this thing.

Gary asked:


How often should I go to failure? Should I do something every day or every other day? I’m not the most physically fit person, I can’t do pullups or dips but I have an assistance machine at the YMCA. I can’t do many pushups or situps. So my two goals are:
1. Being able to do multiple pullups, dips without assistance and 2. Increasing the number of reps of the bodyweight exercises I can do.
