Cutting weight is no different than any of the things I've listed above. |
Actually Joe, it's not the same. You see, lifting every day is a semi-perminant thing. It develops the muscles over a long period of time, and they stay around for a long period of time even after you stop lifting. The same could be said for stretching. If you have a stretching machine, you are no better off than one who doesn't. Ask Bill Wallace. I trained with him once, and he said when he was younger, he didn't use them. He said he simply stretched while in his off time because he didn't like to waste time. Also, stretching to become more flexible is also a thing which is semi-perminant. I know a woman who is in excess of 300 lbs...but because of her TKD training before she had thyroid problems, she can still do the splits.
Cutting weight is temporary. You gain it back within a day or two.
