I'm probably going to be critiscized and in trouble for asking this but here it goes....
So today I was asking my MT coach about his workout routines and the type of exercises he did. He then told me how he did pretty much all Bodyweight exercises, explosive exercises( is that the correct name?), etc...
Then he proceeded to tell me how weight lifting for a fighter was rather impractical. How it wears and tears your joints and in the long run damages them. Or how the body you produce isn't really a "fighters body" it just looks good. Then he went on about how boxers never really lifted much weights and just did a lot of body weight stuff.
So my question is was what he said about weight lifting correct and that I should just work with mostly Bodyweight and explosive/power stuff? Or can I just continue lifting weights?
Oh another thing I don't know if this is something I should mention but when I workout I generally use lightweights and do high reps not much heavy lifting. Although I do lift heavy in order to increase strength, like 3 times a month?
Sorry if i'm **** posting or anything like that and thanks for reading this.
