Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Please dont' take this as an argument I am just curious and open to learning. I hear people say that lifting weights hinders yoga but lifting body weight doesn't. How can say doing a handstand pushup develop the muscle differntly than a dumbell press? You can actually achieve a great range of motion with dumbells. It seems like some people just are saying things they have been told by other people with out really researching. Our muscles know how to contract. They don't know if they are lifing the body weight or iron. Olympic lifters are actually extremely flexible in their shoulders. They need to be for some of the lifts they do. I am very open to not dropping my weight lifting program and have seen many posts about people who actually have felt from first hand expierience that lifting is hindering them. My current strength training program is 90% body weight exercises. Just want to be clear that I'm not upset or defensive, just trying to learn.
