Give me 1 (one) good reason why I should take up lifting instead of Muay Thai.
Lifting: >Boring as shit >Takes months to get tiny results >You never have to lift heavy things IRL >Girls don't give a shit
Muay Thai: >Fun as fuck >You learn things very fast >Better for overall health >Gives you the confidence and ability to defend yourself
Seems pretty clear cut to me, lads.
Christian Powell
alright then do it, why even consider lifting if it doesn't appeal to you?
Ian Ramirez
Nobody knows you can fight because you probably look dyel. Being big > being able to fight.
Juan Harris
>What is personal preferences and likes?
Andrew Watson
Why not both faggot
Parker Hill
Veeky Forums is full of fat dyel fags anyway, don't see why you're trying.
But Yes, it's a fact that muay Thai is more useful than lifting. >inb4 m-muh I'll just bench press him ;_; That's not how a fight works bucko.
Anthony White
Imagine being knocked out in front of your gf by a muay Thai trainee half your size >fatty delusions
Blake Peterson
You got everything backwards.
Lifting when done properly will make you healthy and make you look good. You can go to the gym at any time you want.
Muay Thai by itself probably won't change how you look and in the long run fuck up your joints. There's no avoiding that. Most martial arts clubs have specific traning hours.
So if you're young sure try it. But if you're 25+ definetly stick to llifting.
Joseph Williams
Why not both ? Tbh im going to do 2x muay thai/week and 2x lifting
Hunter Morales
you do both you fucking retard. Strength training aids your muay thai.
God damn faggots on tis site think you always have to chose one or the other. Fucking retards.
Logan Brown
>Muay Thai >martial art Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Austin Roberts
>Getting kicked in the head is healthier than resistance training
Hmmmm
Liam Collins
Happens only in your fantasies.
Aaron Rogers
No, do Muay Thai
Josiah Martin
Fact: Lifting does 0 for your stamina heart quality.
Robert Ortiz
Lifting is better for strength and well, aesthetics. I see no reason why you couldn't do both though.
Ryder Flores
Have fun rolling around with other guys closet fag.
Owen Smith
Have fun beating off your gym buddies in the showers fag.
Evan Garcia
Yeah because picking up heavy things makes you a better fighter than someone who actually trains to fight in my fantasies.
Henry Kelly
Muay Thai: >Fun as fuck Yes, if you're into it >You learn things very fast Lmfao, show me a correct stance and foot work after 8 weeks >Better for overall health Knees and elbows right to your body is not very healthy >Gives you the confidence and ability to defend yourself Probably
But, you can do both you twat
Joseph Ramirez
Amateur martial arts is one of the safest, injury free sports.
Jaxon Young
I've done kickboxing for 2 years and I learnt more combinations and footwork in 4 months than I saw my chest growing on SS+GOMAD.
Nicholas Rogers
>He actually did SS+GOMAD
oy vey
Ethan White
>4 months than I saw my chest growing on SS+GOMAD. >expecting your chest to grow on SS
Aaron Moore
Exactly my point. SS is the most efficient beginner program for noobs though. Which proves my point that lifting takes too long to see results.
Christopher Flores
...
Ian Morgan
Bren dimige
Elijah Ramirez
In terms of muscle growth? Sure it does take a long time unless you are roiding.
In terms of strength? Nigga you are literally adding weight to the bar every workout.
John Nguyen
>Girls don't give a shit This is where you're talking out of your arse. The amount of attention I've got since I've become normie jacked is ten fold the attention I got before. My effort and strategy hasn't changed. It's the muscles that have made the difference. Women are turned on by traits that emphasize differences between men and women (height, muscle, etc.).
Evan Sanders
>Not supplementing your MT with weights Enjoy welterweight, faggot.
Ian Bennett
>SS is the most efficient beginner program for noobs though according to the SS shills and those that have been meme'd into believing it, you're going to gain muscle and strength mainly in your legs, chest doesn't get much of a workout
Asher Martin
Nothing more healthy than fighting ^D: >OPs logic...
Jonathan Hall
Most of the time I went out and some giant gorilla was hitting on the girl I wanted, I would just confuse him with some verbal conundrum and then smooth talk the girl into my bedroom.
Lincoln Bell
>muay Thai >being on the floor ever You know how I know you're retarded
Gavin Reyes
I'm not talking about being roider jacked. Most women aren't into that. And I'm not talking about going out specifically, but it applies to that. I meant on dating websites and apps. Kept my profile as it was, just changed pictures to show off my biceps or whatever.
Ethan Price
>Doesn't realize Muay Thai has all the stances, forms, uniforms, ceremonies and traditions other TMAs do No, I think I know who has no idea what he's talking about, and it's not that guy.
Jayden Foster
>Why not both
Lifting heavy weights is pretty hard on your joints and muscles. Muay thai is also pretty hard on your joints and muscles. You'll be in twice the pain all the time if you combine them and you'll be too fatigued to do either to the max.
Levi Sanchez
I'm not sure what this image is trying to convey.
Jason Brooks
That's why you desgin a proper program or get a proper program that considers recovery and fatigue management. You would go through phases emphasizing each thing. Obviously you can't do Texas method and martial arts at the same time you mongo.
Jack Lewis
>stances, forms, uniforms, ceremonies and traditions other TMAs do Oh Yeah? What other non muay Thai derivatives use prajouids, mongkols, etc?
Go ahead and explain to me, a practitioner for over 7 years, on what muay Thai really is.
Alexander Brooks
>Muay Thai has all the stances, forms, uniforms, ceremonies and traditions
M8....
Henry Russell
why not both you queer
Jacob Brown
Give me 1 (one) good reason why i should take sport A insteaed of sport B
Sport A >traits exclusive to sport A, considering sport A is a completely different sport than sport B
Sport B >traits exclusive to sport B, considering sport B is a completely different sport than sport A
Christopher Price
Nigger, I meant that Muay Thai has its own versions of these concepts; prajouids and mongkol falling under uniform. It has all the traits of a martial art as opposed to a fighting sport. Not that it has the same as others. Goddamn, brush up your reading skills. A few too many blows to the head in your 7 years, is it?
Aaron Ortiz
>His only purpose in lifting is chest growth There's your problem
Parker Gutierrez
no, but it gives you more weight, which is a huge determiner of who gets fucked up in a fight
Carson Barnes
once you get a big boy job, lifting offers more flexibility in your daily routine
Samuel Morgan
lifting won't make you healthy. MT is much better for health as long as you don't compete or spar hard. Also lifting fucks up your joints too
Luke Perry
>"B-BUT I ACTUALLY MEANT ;_;" No. >has all the stances, forms, uniforms, ceremonies and traditions other Read this again (from your post). Yeah it's definitely not my reading comprehension at fault here
Mason Rivera
>Not doing both.
Dylan Roberts
Anyone with any amount of strength is just going to grab you and turn you into their plaything.. Fist fights don't happen in real life, you're going to get grabbed, thrown to the ground and choked out until you die
Adam Campbell
food gives you weight. not lifting
this. do both. + cardio. + GPP. Lots of low resistance high rep exercises, bodyweight etc. lifting isn't the end game, it's only a small part of health This place focuses on it a shitload cause it's full of insecure NEETS who don't have a girlfriend, and are desperate as fuck
Joseph Wood
That's where BJJ comes in handy
Aaron Ortiz
You realize I've got no other options than ad homming you now, right?
Caleb Myers
BJJ doesn't work in a real fight without rules. BJJ is useless when someone who lifts can literally grab your arm and tear it off.
Jackson Ross
Yeah because you have no argument.
Parker Baker
You're trying to hard.
Xavier Peterson
>BJJ doesn't work in a real fight without rules It's THE most effective grappling system to date, so I'm inclined to disagree with your opinion. >literally grab your arm and tear it off. I don't plan on fighting Chewbacca any time soon, but BJJ will certainly take down any unskilled grappler with ease.
Caleb Walker
>tear off your arm
John Gray
Lifting: >boring >better for muscular gains >slow as shit to notice results
Muay Thai: >makes you confident as fuck >makes you a better fighter which is a good asset all the time 24/7 >improves cardiovascular health
More weight also makes you slower unless 90% of that weight is muscle and you actually train to move it properly.
John Collins
Flexibility. Unless you can afford a staff of trainers, you'll have to work in classes with scheduled times.
I'd just do both. OP is probably too pussy for that though.
Hunter Rodriguez
>gorilla's feelings have been hurt :(
Aaron Campbell
>changing sentence structure when quoting
Daniel Wood
Because getting hit in then head is super fucking bad for you
Colton Bennett
where do I find a retarded XDDD gf like this if I missed out on teenage love?
Austin Wright
They're all mentally ill stay away from them
Julian Murphy
Lifting: >Boring as shit That's just your opinion and opinion are like assholes - everyone has one.
>Takes months to get tiny results You'll see strength gains pretty fast.
>You never have to lift heavy things IRL Still living in your momma's basement? Also: >Girls don't give a shit They don't give a shit about most things you do, this includes muay thai.
Muay Thai: >Fun as fuck It depends on the school. A shitty school with shitty people will give shitty and boring training.
>You learn things very fast Depends on age, fitness level, flexibility, etc.
>Better for overall health Generally speaking, yes. But it depends on the school. A good school will deliver good training. Shitty schools will deliver shitty training that will fuck up your joints.
>Gives you the confidence and ability to defend yourself It gives you the ability. The confidence is a mental thing. If you're a pussy and you start doing muay thai, you'll stay a pussy.
Anyway, you should do both, you gigantic faggot.
Brandon Harris
>MT is much better for health as long as you don't compete or spar hard. This makes the self-defense point moot, though. The only reason to train a combat sport like muay thai is to become good at fighting. If you just want to prance around doing cardio, do taebo or aerobic.
Elijah Cooper
porque no los dos?
Leo Turner
>>tear off your arm >implying it can't be done BJJ settles for the virgin arm-bar, not the Chad Unhinge.
Carson Hill
>fun as fuck It gets boring quickly unless you are naturally gifted >You learn things very fast That's actually not true at all. >Better for overall health Not even kinda true. >Gives you the confidence and ability to defend yourself Good luck with that.
Asher Kelly
Wow nice counterargument, retard. The steroids have probably gone to your head.
Caleb Allen
Being swole is beneficial all the time. Being able to fight is useless 99% of the time unless you're in prison for assault. o wait..
Brayden Harris
Imagine going to jail for assaulting somebody just to compensate for being a dyel tfw no gf
Bentley Rivera
This tbqh. After the first few punches, you're grappling.
Austin Cooper
>Muay Thai: >>Fun as fuck
I worked with a guy who competed in kickboxing. You know what he did every lunchtime? Hit himself in the chins with a wooden mallet for an hour while drinking milk.
Fun as fuck?
Robert King
Serious question.
How much do you MT bros pay per month for your training? I lift but am thinking of picking up boxing or MT for fun/cardio.
Nicholas Hernandez
Do both fag
Jaxon Davis
You'all have crippling arthritis in your shins when you get older
Nolan Foster
>muh overtraining entire post disregarded
Kevin Robinson
why didnt he just do cardio
Jackson Flores
You can get good at fighting without sparring hard enough that someone gets knocked out every session
Kayden Hall
>It's THE most effective grappling system to date Yeah, under MMA rules. In a real fight, you're allowed to bite a chunk out of the opponent's arm or stomp their skull in.
James Gutierrez
>Better for overall health >Not even kinda true. Lifting has little to no benefits health-wise.
Nicholas Evans
Dude. Half the cops I know do BJJ in their own time to use on the job. For when they get in real fights, with people who want to hurt them, every week.
And no, obviously I'm not an Amerifat. They don't just shoot anyone who gets physical.
William Cooper
>Muay Thai Enjoy huge abs but no arms or shoulders at all. I did thai boxing before and I'd say you better mix it up with lifting or you'll look like a freak
Grayson Cooper
There's a difference between a cop trying to subdue an attacker and getting into a fist fight as a civilian. The cop isn't trying to fight the attacker, the cop is trying to control him.
Jace Cruz
>trying to control him
And? It's also the easiest way to defend yourself.
Liam Smith
pls don't post this is an american only board
Ian Foster
must be why it's so gay
Ethan Roberts
Easier than throwing a single punch?
Cameron Hall
a punch is way higher risk of doing serious harm compared to submission hold (if you slam him into concrete head first before doing the submission it kills the purpose, but if done correctly it's basically harmless)
Joseph King
lol no, BJJ is specifically made for 1-on-1. The "it doesn't work on a fight without rules!" mostly refers to the fact that if you're grabbing a nigga on the floor, the nigga's friends are going to kick the shit out of your head, so you don't have the benefit of time for slowly grabbing your way to victory.
