leviathan-actually most of what I was taught and believed from the beggining I see as the oposite now.

Dave has had a few fighters I believe and like he says they don't run much and do have gas.

If some can fight without running (or limited and when running using sprints) isn't that enough to make you go hhmmmm

By the way I didn't mean that eating good food gives you a good core. I do mean eating bad foods (or wrong for you) can turn off muscles of the core.

Believe me every exercise I do has a core component to a lesser or larger degree. I work on core alot. Movement initiates from the core.




Working the 6pack in a short range of motion (thus shortening it) actually teaches the core NOT to work (if over done-certainly if base for core conditioning).

You'll limit your breathing(how important is that? #1), change your musculoskeletol structure... start to limit cerebrospinal fluid pumping etc all this adds stress and too much stress means hormonal issues it goes on and on and on.

Levianthan-where is your info based? What you were taught? What we are taught is what someone else believes. I suggest doing research in any area you are interested in and testing some of the theories you hold as true.

Daves isn't the only gym that doesn't run either..

running ontop of everything else is another sympathetic (catabolic) stimulating stress. There may be a time and place but many people will be stressed out the ying yang and that WILL lead to many negative health issues.
