00:00:00.000 Greetings, true friends. Today I want to elaborate on the picture I shared on my glorious Facebook
00:00:17.820 page the other day and it's regards to size and strength in a fight. And now keep in mind this
00:00:24.080 is something I've seen on the interwebs for quite some time. You know these guys constantly saying
00:00:29.840 like oh you know lifting weights won't make you better in a fight etc. This is not something I've
00:00:34.780 ever heard in real life so keep in mind this is not something anyone has told me in like any club
00:00:40.580 I've been in or etc. Any MMA gym I've been in. So let's first of all say that skill beats size any
00:00:47.220 day of the week. That is just how it is. However what I would like you to take with from this video
00:00:53.380 is an example and we're gonna take a guy we can call him the optimal lion of eternal testosterone
00:01:01.180 and we have two versions of this glorious individual one who weighs 80 kilo one who weighs 100 kilo
00:01:07.320 one who has a squat of 120 and one who has a squat of hopefully soon to be 240 at least. Now who do you
00:01:16.680 think can generate the most power in his kicks? A squat of 120 or a squat of 240? Now obviously the guy
00:01:25.460 who can squat 240 will have more power in his leg more power to generate a very strong kick or knee
00:01:32.260 more power to control an opponent with his legs. That is quite obvious. Furthermore in regards to pure
00:01:39.920 physics if you have if you can activate your whole body you get that twist of the hips and lean in with
00:01:45.560 100 kilo that will cause more damage than the same technique with 80 kilo. If you have more size and
00:01:53.000 strength you can do more with that technique. Keep in mind a sound technique will always win
00:01:58.040 but if you want to be the best version of yourself if you want to be the best warrior of the tribe or
00:02:05.800 protector of the people or just you know everything like that then you will be better served by being
00:02:12.500 stronger. Then there's also the case that when a guy gets strong enough there are certain things you
00:02:17.780 can't do to him. I'm gonna take my good friend the abelian bull for example say if he post heresy
00:02:24.660 turns on me he would never do that but if he does and then I try to take an arm bar on him that wouldn't
00:02:31.540 work. He's too strong and I know that. Now I put up a picture and you can't really see exactly how massive
00:02:37.140 is when you hug him you can't feel it and I know that that wouldn't work and sure as hell a lighter
00:02:42.660 guy a weaker guy then I wouldn't get an arm bar on him either. That's just physically impossible
00:02:47.620 because he's too strong. So even if you don't have any technique at all that strength can save you from
00:02:54.180 a lot of things. So my main point with this video is not to say that oh you know lift weights and get
00:03:01.780 strong as fuck and that will make you an excellent fighter. No that's not what I'm saying. What I'm
00:03:07.060 saying is that if you have a sound technique if you add strength to that you will get more out of it.
00:03:14.180 So if you have the technique already in place and then you have the strength to enhance that technique
00:03:20.020 then you're in a good position. And then also there are certain things that you know the more muscled
00:03:25.940 and the more strong you are and the stronger you are the better off you will fare in certain situations.
00:03:31.780 So you can take such a thing as having a good abdominal structure you will be able to take
00:03:36.180 harder punches. If you have a strong neck you will be able to take punches to the head also. And all
00:03:41.940 these kind of things if you get thrown on the street and if you're really well trained with good back
00:03:46.820 musculature you will be able to learn better. So you have all of these sort of benefits and you know
00:03:52.100 being fit and being strong will always be good in a physical confrontation. And also like a physical
00:03:59.060 altercation in the street or wherever. It doesn't exactly look like a UFC fight either. So you can
00:04:05.380 have like clothes on and then you have the grip strength can be extremely important. Just be able
00:04:10.340 to pull someone off. So if you have a gang of rape refugees attacking a woman or something you know
00:04:15.700 that strength will help you tremendously. But to conclude what I mean when I say this like that
00:04:21.380 you should train for strength as well is that you can utilize all your brilliant technique.
00:04:26.260 Like yes technique beats size and strength it does. But if you have technique and add strength and size
00:04:32.980 to that that will be very good indeed. So I hope that cleared up that at least and gave you something
00:04:40.660 to think about. In whom I and the glory's lion. XXO. Boom.
