just wonderin if i should lift heavy weights in conjunction with martial arts. ive been lifting for 17 years consistently and have gotten descent size and stength without drugs. im benching 380lbs & 225 for 28 reps at a bw of 195lbs. so im pretty strong but recently i decided to take another path of martial arts. i love it and i want to put the same dedication and commitment into it as much as lifting weights. will it slow down my punches and kicks? i want to study boxing and jeet kune do as well. but you guys know your shit and im a newbie so any advice for me would be greatly appreciated.
