Interesting indeed!
Hapkido is very similar to the Jujutsu I study. We have a few techniques that have only been found in Hapkido when we were looking for similarities.
I too am in the situation, trying to break free from the structural constraints of Static Power (being big and strong) and into Dynamic Power (being flexible, fluid and fast). It is indeed a horse of a different color.
Checkout our website and see if there is anything of interest you would like to discuss.
Anabolics are a good thing to get away from. Very hard on the ligaments and tendons.
I have been lifting weights for about 15 years (on again off again). I am trying that workout listed in one of the other threads. We will be on it until Thanksgiving, then into a heavy, heavy bench program.
I used it (the bench program) and jumped up from 315 with difficulty to 350 easily in 7 weeks. My spotter went from 165 to 180 in the same time, but he is the tall skinny type. It was pretty sweet, but my elbows and forearms were in serious pain....
