hi guys,

i'm new to this forum, my 1st post  :)

i want to know what people recommend for functional strength  ???

i used to go to a gym where i got some good cardio fitness but that alone isn't enough. then a pal told me about matt furey's combat conditioning - this is great. but i'm still getting shit like shoulder pains  >:( matt furey recommends lifeline usa's cable strand products, has anyone used this specifically for shoulder pains successfully ?


cheers, satin.

Satin,

I am new as well.  I have been using Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning for Two Months, before that I practiced Kettlebell lifting and Clubbells. I will try to be brief with my report, and mind you that I saw my brother pack some serious combat muscle with this system as well.

Kettlebells will address your weakest point, being wrist, leg, glute, hammi, or shoulder strength.  They will absolutely give you a monster grip, huge forearms, and gains in the hip, glute area with an aerobic workout to boot.

Combat conditioning requires daily re-commitment.  The Hindu squats are exhausting especially tough when you transition to the Hindu push-up (not UDT bomber), and then the bridge.  My first squat session was a humiliating 35, and I watched in HORROR as Matt pumped them out on his video.  RELAX, before you know it, you are hanging in there.  They really compliment the Kettlebell workout, (almost like doing Triathlon bricks)-

Clubbells complimented the grip and shoulder strength.

I would look up Janda sit ups, Captain of Crush, and a good stretching routine, tendonitis (tennis elbow type) can occur if you dont take care "of the inside".

I normally do 125 Hindu squats.  (250- goal)
                    50 Hindu push ups
                    01:45 Bridge

All that takes me approx. 6 min.

Kettlebells and clubbells in the PM.

Hope it helps!

Satin,
What kind of shoulder pain?  Kettlebells can be demanding on the joints if you disrespect the weight.  Also, I have only purchased the jump ropes from the store you mentioned.  Matt does seem to like their products though.

yours in manly excellence.

hey you guys,

thanks for the response, if nothing else, maybe hock won't complain about "seeing this space empty"  ;)

devil dog - the kind of shoulder pain is that niggling ache right in the joint, it's not muscular pain. i get it pretty quick after a just a few take-downs (even on padded floors), you know when you get taken down and you break the fall by putting your hand out, the shock seems to jar the shoulder, and also get it after stick work.

i've changed the way i carry my laptop pc which was partly to blame, but i still get it with the take-downs. it really pisses me off 'cos i used to do about 40 hindu press-ups (plus other exercises) for breakfast and then another 40-50 throughout the day (with variations), but the shoulder ache is holding me back  :'(

professor - what exactly is an excellent product ? the captain of crush thing ? what is that ?

anyway, today i ordered the lifeline cable strands, so i'll let you know how it goes. but keep up the chat guys, let's get some action going here   :)


kick ass, take names, satin  ;D
