Like ordinary martial arts, it may not be able to achieve great results in a short time. If you want to make some achievements in martial arts, it will take at least three years, and fitness training, as long as your fitness method is reasonable, then three years is enough to make you a fitness muscle man. So how big is the muscle gap between a muscular man who has practiced martial arts for three years and a man who has practiced martial arts for three years?
First, the size gap.
People who go to the gym to exercise generally have two purposes, either to lose weight or to gain muscle, but no matter which purpose, they can make their bodies better. After three years of fitness training, such a long time is enough to make their bodies better and their muscles more developed and become fitness muscle men. People who have been practicing martial arts for three years, although the training intensity is not small, are not training to make their bodies better, but more training in fighting skills, because after three years of training, there is a big gap between the two in terms of body shape.
Second, the muscle gap between them.
As I said before, the difference in body shape is actually the difference in muscle shape. From the muscle point of view, muscular men naturally have the upper hand in fitness training. From the muscle dimension, muscular men have bigger muscle dimension and more obvious muscle lines. But even so, there may be different gaps in other aspects of muscle performance, such as muscle strength. Fitness muscle men have stronger muscle strength, while martial arts people have stronger muscle endurance and explosive power.
Third, the health gap between the two.
Although the strong muscles of fitness muscle men are criticized by many people as unhealthy muscles, they all think that the muscles of fitness muscle men are eaten by protein powder, or that the muscles trained by fitness are dead muscles, but as long as they do not exercise excessively and reasonably, the physical health of fitness muscle men is generally good. People who have practiced martial arts for three years, because it is a fighting sport, are definitely worse than those who only train in fitness in all aspects. After all, fighting training still needs to be practiced with each other. In the long run, their bodies will inevitably suffer a lot of damage.
Although it seems that fitness training is better, you should know that the original intention of martial arts practitioners is not to practice muscles, but to fight skills. Your fitness training will build strong muscles, and you are not as good as those who practice martial arts in actual combat.
Who do you think is better in actual combat, the fitness muscle man or the Sanda athlete?
