Now, I personally do love seeing people do cool **** like one arm push ups and acrobatic ****, especially stuff I can’t do.
That said, if I recall the past year and all the “everyday” things I had to do, there are things I have NEVER had to even try to do ( though I do tem when I train sometimes):
Run more than a few minutes
do a handstand
one arm push up
One arm pull up or chin
DO the splits
Here are things I have HAD to do:
Lift both my kids
Lift my wife
Lift my dad who is in a wheel chair
Move a stove, fridge, compressed air cylinders.
Sprint for the bus or train
Punch an alien in the face
Carry groceries and one of my kids
Carry both kids up the stairs while they were sleeping.
Carry wife up the stairs cause I am romantic 
In short, in the past year I have had to rely on strength and speed more than on anything else.
Just saying.

The women in the video are hot!
I believe including these in your repertoire are very important to learning how to put your whole body into anything you are doing including martial arts.
There are a lot of guys here who advocate powerlifting as your main form of resistance training. It would be interesting to see how many of these body weight guys can powerlifting and how many power lifters can do the stuff in this video. I believe more of the people on this video can powerlift than vica-versa.
I think they’re all idiots for standing around and getting sun burn.[/QUOTE]

oh yeah, well this past Saturday I’ve had to carry my four kids from the van to their beds and my wife while they all slept. And because I didn’t want to go outside I also carried in the 24 case of beer (albeit it was light beer) but you get the point. Ha there you go sucka !!!

he would be unstoppable
I wonder though, what the results would be if you had two athletes of similar abilities and then put them on two different weight training protocols. One power lifting and the other BB (size) protocol. Who would have better results?

I’m just amazed by the eyebrow thing he’s got going on.
It’s like, he wants to be Lou Ferigno or something.
His “krotty” is comedy gold though.

Well, the athlete doing powerlifting would get stronger and, depending on his diet, may or may not have an increase in weight and muscle mass.
The one doing BB would have a greater increase in muscle mass and an increase in strength but not as much as the powerlifter.
All things being equal.
So, who would have better results?
Depends on what results you were trying to get of course.

Thank you. I meant results as applied to improving the performance of an athlete’s chosen sport/field.
[QUOTE=Bernard;1225726]Thank you. I meant results as applied to improving the performance of an athlete’s chosen sport/field.[/QUOTE]
I would THINK that the powerlifting protocol would, typically, yield the better results since pretty much every sport uses strength of some sort and an increase to an athletes “pure strength” level would be beneficial.
Not all sports are best served with an increase in muscle mass.

Please elaborate.
You’re saying instead of push ups I should be trying to increase my max bench weight?
