A Thought

[CrazyKid746]

Hey guys. I just thought of something. Wouldn't tricking, and just tricking, help you gain strength?

[k-slash]

No it would not.

The only benefit strength wise is the effect tricking has on your legs since it's plyometric.

But overall it's a no.

[Inkrepid]

The answer is yes, but its like doing 10 pushups a day 3 times a week to gain strength...just not very effective.

[k-slash]

It doesn't give you any strength.

[Inkrepid]

It doesn't give you any strength.

If you can jump higher, your legs have become stronger. :eh:

[Skilzat85X]

No they have not, they've become able to exert their force in less time, and your nervous system has become more adept at the motions involved in jumping.

I see what you're getting at, but let's face it, someone could trick their whole life without lifting, and then start deadlifting or squatting or whatever and have to start at a (standard) minimal amount of weight. The strength gains just aren't significant.

so in essence you dont need a stronger punch, just a faster punch, as it exerts blah blah whatever skilz said.

[k-slash]

Thank you.

[Dark Twista]

It helps you gain speed. For kicks anyway

[k-slash]

If you drill kicks.

[David M.]

hahaha kslash wins

It'll make you more explosive in some movements, but not stronger.

[k-slash]

I bet if I do enough frontkicks I'll be able to do a frontkick with an extra 50 kg on my foot.

50? Why not 200? Do you grow slowly?

[joepaxton]

WHY NOT OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!

50? Why not 200? Do you grow slowly?
Oh shit yeah I forgot how much strength I would build up doing them.

It will help you gain power, not strength. Don't confuse the two, as they're very different.

[Origional]

it will give nice abs (better than the average guy, but a drop in the pond compared to a bodybuilder)

[k-slash]

No it wont.

DO CORKSCREWS, GET ROCK HARD ABS!
