"Toning" is this archaic concept that you develop lean muscle instead of bigger muscle. That's not true. Think of it this way: On a sliding scale, you either have muscle or you don't. And on another sliding scale you either have fat, or you don't. So you can have a lot of muscle and a lot of fat, or you can have a lot of muscle and not a lot of fat. Or you can have neither. There's no such thing as building a certain type of muscle, or that there is a lean muscle and a fat muscle. It's all the same muscle. | ||

Basically yeah whenever any fitness sites or bros new to the gym talk about toning they think of having more visible and defined muscles, which is accomplished by strict dieting to reduce Bodyfat% and not some weird low weight high rep shit. Your best bet to already start either Stronglifts or Starting Strength in Korea (which are the 2 common recommended routines in the fitness forum).With the proper diet you will still lose bodyfat% but still improve your gains/lifts. I know korean chicks tend to prefer the more "lean type" over the bulky one, but pls don't aim for the male idol type which seems to be anywhere 170-180cm but only 55kg^^ | ||

no, but there were no weight classes, and there were quite a large variety of fighting styles/martial arts that were used. | ||

Well, I'm glad I'm a little over that. To be fair though, I do eat like a minimum of 4,000 kcal a day, its just my stupid metabolism burning through it all too fast. Went to the gym (mostly weights, lol cardio) and tacked on an extra 2,000 kcal a day from protein shakes, total gains for the summer was 5 lbs. Looking for a "real workout routine" for the school year though, I'll take a look at the two mentioned. EDIT: Wait, what? This Starting Strength thing does like no reps or anything. Time to look at the other thingy. | ||

Kickboxing still insanely effective, along with some basic TKD kicks. Karate is still a huge influence on tons of fighters. Judo takedowns are also common and effective. All the UFC proves is who is a better fighter, not which martial arts is the best. | ||

Also, kickboxing is significantly different enough from muaythai that it deserves its own classification. Not like muay thai has axe kicks in its repetoire. | ||

like muay thai is a formal martial art, but nowadays they train muay thai but compete in "Kickboxing" competitions (K-1 at the top level) "Which I was assuming was referencing the popularity of the uses of these 4 martial arts." at the top level of fighting, which means that we can reasonably assume they are whats the most effective (some variance but not a lot) | ||
