I commit myself to perform one set of 4,585 reps each day of the Push-up and Squat and 45 minutes to the Bridge. Like I said, this I do on a daily basis. Sometimes I do a set of 8,500 consecutive and once a month on the squat I do 12,650 reps. WHY? Just to prove to myself that I can. 415 shy of 5000? Shame on you Bruce. That would've maybe hit Superhuman level but I don't know. And under 13000, Gama would still do 12,651. Still though as long as you don't get hurt, I'm for the numbers. Gama Schmama! I just knocked out 14,724! NO ONE'S BETTER THAN I AM! NO ONE! I AM THE BEST! NO ONE ELSE EVEN COMES CLOSE!!

I haven't been around forums much, but I have heard about someone called Parker who seemed to have some kind of a chip on his shoulder....could this Parkerstar be the same person? It isn't Parker.

Definitely nor Parker If Parker has something to say, he'll say it He enjoys a good argument, but he's not insulting This guy is just an asshole

I don't lower myself to cowardly, chicken-s stuff like this guy does.
I'll give Benny a hard time (and other people) but it stops there.

TR, Indian wrestlers use dands and bethaks to build stamina. To build strength, they use other training tools, such as weighttraining, partnered resistance training, isos, in various combinations. Yes, have read about them via Matt Furey and some of the things Mackey has shared. But, if you're interested in strength, you have to train for strength...SAID (Specific Adaption to Imposed Demand). My lifts -- deadlift, clean and press, bench -- "suffered" (not sure if that is the right word) when I was doing the Royal Court + weights. Not criticizing; it is what you want to focus on .

Some areas of training have carried over to strength training. I rarely ever lift weights per se except for going to the gym once or twice a week when I have a chance. I never really suffered my strength lifts, I can still bench what I did before my accident, I can still curl with good form 50-60 lb dumbbells for reps, managed a 405 deadlift in solid form without training practically at all for it, can do 145 log press that I never really trained with before. The possibilities are there and sometimes people are stronger than they seem. Quite frankly I couldn't care less what my lifts really can be because that's not my goal.

Benny, What you posted is contradictory...similar to the old Charles Atlas comments in court (?) where he said "I lift weights to test my strength". If you're "going to the gym once or twice a week", you're at least maintaining strength levels and you can't say "I rarely ever lift weights". HIT advocates only lift once or twice a week and I know of at least one powerlifter who was from Ft. Worth, Texas, that had posted an article on the late Mike Mentzer's site regarding training twice a week. Some lifters (and studies) have found you can get away with training once every 10 days or less. Just look at Pete Sisco's site or John Little's. I've posted my workouts in the past and I only lift twice a week -- that is all that is needed to maintain or stimulate growth. If a person wants to do more? Great, have at it and the purpose of my comments is not to criticize those who choose to go that route. Regardless, you either misunderstood my point or you're purposefully misrepresenting it: I stated the results of doing Furey's workout and a known scientific fact, that is "Specific Adaption to Imposed Demand" (SAID). thesportdigest.com/archive/article/said-principle-aerobicanaerobic-training Several other people such as Fastfor40 have posted similar results on sites like AMM -- when they tried the workouts recommended on the old Bronze Bow site -- pretty much Furey's 1:1, they found their strength levels dropped.

As some may know, I devoted 10 months to the training advocated on the Transformetrics forum and the creator of the system. This was at a time in my mid-forties when I was still benching 275, squatting 405 and deadlifting close to 500. I wanted to do something different, so I did the DVRs, some isometrics, Trinity of Health (or whatever he renamed Furey's "Royal Court", in addition to hundreds of pushups daily. I emailed/talked to the man and he said I was going to be surprised by my strength increases in all the lifts. I did not ever lift weights during that 10-month period, I wanted this time to be solely BW and Transformetrics.
At the end of ten months I took off a week, and started doing light weight training. I noticed right away the "umph" wasn't there, that indescribable sense of strength and power you have even when picking the dumbbells off the rack. Two weeks into the weight training I still hadn't hit my stride as far as comfort and strength. After a month I was still nowhere close to where I was 10 months before.
I talked to "the man" and told him what was going on and the frustration at having lost size, but more importantly, strength, power and speed. My endurance was not what it used to be. The weights weren't feeling any lighter; the poundages were a bit higher than what I used to do on my "light" days, but I was struggling. "The man" listened, and then said his course was meant for the "couch potatoes" and those who rarely trained, wanted a doable program that would elevate breathing, add a bit of strength and maybe some muscle. The sedentary person would benefit, but those with a background of extensive and hard training likely would not see improvements, and would probably see a loss of weightlifting strength, and perhaps muscle.
His last comment was that I should go back to lifting weights.

Nice simple routine you can't argue with. This was basically the supposed method of "Japanese Wrestlers" to get into top shape, a deck of cards and these two moves. If I had done nothing but these two moves since I got into this physical culture thing 15 years ago I shudder to think how much better my conditioning would be by now. Shudder, I tell ya'.

AS far as getting weaker at lifting during a 10 month break from weightlifting, you don't get better at ANYTHING by NOT doing it.

True, and I should have known better, but I was assured that not only would I maintain strength, I would likely notice an increase.
In short; I would be awed and amazed by the results. I definitely was not.

Started trying this exercise combo which is a variation of a burpee but using more of the classic Indian Wrestling exercises. I do a basic version of this and not go so fast that form is crappy. My goal was to hit 25 of these in a row and ended up hitting 30. The ratio is a 1 squat, 1 pushup combo. Once I get use to it more I'll do no more than a 2-1 combo ratio. It's brutal but fun and if you're willing to go after it than make the most of it. If you're not up for it, don't do it. Great exercise to build lung power and strength-endurance. Here's how I do the 2-1 ratio with pushup handles. http://instagr.am/p/BtMwICOn0Ql bigben84, Did you have a recent injury? Are you doing this exercise to aid recovery or just to improve "lung power and strength-endurance"?
