Can anybody enlighten me? There must be benefits that i'm missing. | The primary benefit although most don't realise it, is that it strengthens the legs and allows the fighter to sustain more punishment without the egs buckling.
Hav eyou ever watched a fighte where the fighter was reported not to do much roadwork and if he gest knocke dout it's usually because he lost his legs and got caught.
I'll try think of a few examples. |
Yeh i get ya. Heard it a few times.
In theory could weight-lifting (squats, deadlifts etc...) play just as important a role, or at least be used to compliment road work?
