Terry,

I used to be really into bodybuilding for about 3-4 years, and also a bit of powerlifting. So i know basically all the fundamentals there is to know about bodybuilding, etc... but then again the sport is constantly changing and will always be. So thats why i posted my question. I know bodybuilders usually try to go for size and rep ranges that induce that are between 6-10, and power lifters are repping a lot lower than that, and testing there 1 rep max as well. Don't get me wrong there are a million other things that bodybuilders and Powerlifters do different than just rep range, so please dont try and test my knowledge. So i was wondering if there was a common thought of lifting weights for those of you out there that train in stand up striking sports. I was thinking maybe twenty reps / 3-4 sets of the major key moves and try to do them explosively as possible, and not being concerned with weight amounts. Just an idea... It also seems that most guys that post in the weightlifting/martial arts areas are mostly concerned with MMA, or BJJ, or alike. And most replies to strikers are Plyometrics... so i was just seeing if someone had any good ideas....
