Reply With Quotekeep on lifting, and keep on practicing... the weights will improve your strength, and continuing with fast movement will make sure you dont get sluggish.... to get good at something you just have to do that something a lot, keep dong martial arts with speed and you wont lose speed.

Strong and Fast
I want to be strong but not lost any speed just like Bruce Lee. I have a blackbelt in taekwondoe that I got when I was 10 yrs old after 4 years of training. I still practice martial arts and I lift weights.

And you can also incorporate speed reps and exercises like jump squats into your routine.

I heard for fighting your biceps don't really help and they slow you down because you get bulkier.. The bigger I get the slower I get right?

Well as far as I can see the biceps wouldn't have much use in a fight (other than a strong choke hold or something like that...). But just because you get stronger doesn't mean you need to get slower. If you get bigger, that could occur, but if you train for strength, size will come secondarily and it shouldn't affect you that much. As long as you also train for speed along with your strength, I think your speed would increase rather than decrease. My strength has increased tremendously in the past few months, but I've also gotten faster, so you could do it too.

Ben Johnson could reportedly squat 650 for reps. Read up on sports performance stuff, Dr. Zatiorsky, Dr. Mauro Dipasquale, there are others. P-Funk may be able to help because he is into explosive lifts for power.
